SUMMARY:

 

The present study is part of the ongoing research for the doctoral thesis linked to the
Program of Literature and Culture, of the Institute of Letters, Federal University of Bahia,
oriented by Professor Dr. Florentina da Silva Souza. After some preliminary reading and
analysis of the deaf poetic production in Brazil, I realized the absence of studies on the
deaf black poetic production, which is on the rise in the country. Thus, I have sought to
establish a critical dialogue about the Afro-identity elements present in the poetic
performance of the authors studied. The work seeks to present/develop theoretical keys to
understanding the specificities of Brazilian black deaf literature from the analysis of both
the poetic production and the intellectual, political and artistic path of Edinho Santos and
Gabriela Gringolom, both poets, actors, slamers, youtubers, political and literary references
in the Brazilian deaf community. This research is justified by the urgent need to present
and deepen more diverse studies regarding what is understood as black deaf literature, the
initial intention is to bring to the debate of Libras scene, predominantly linguistic, a look at
other areas of studies of Letters, and this includes both the concepts of comparative
literature, discourse analysis and the contributions of cultural studies. The preliminary
results of this study reveal the strong political and intellectual engagement of the black deaf

artists studied, evidenced by the continued growth of their social networks, a space in
which they act both to perform the black deaf art and popularization of sign languages. It
was also possible to realize that the advent of the pandemic has vitrinized the processes of
exclusion secularly experienced by the deaf Brazilians and constantly denounced by the
artists-focus of this thesis that use their bodies as political and cultural capital for the black
deaf diastole.
