Abstract

This paper analyses the socio-discoursive imaginaries of deafness in news published in the Jornal Visual. The theoretical e methodological frame associate the television studies and Semiolinguistic Theory, from the grid proposed by Mendes (2010), which allows the analysis of moving images. At first, the news program of TV Brasil (public broadcaster) presents itself as an enviromment conducive to the acceptance of differences and the deaf culture. However, when the majority discourses broadcasted by other newscasts are translated to Brazilian Sign Language, the Jornal Visual mutes the deaf culture existence, reinforcing marginalization’s practices of the deaf subject.
