RESUMO:
Nowadays, blind people can read through the Braille system, from readers, people who see and read aloud for the blind, and from digital technologies by a voice synthesizer of a screen readers software. In front of these different possibilities, this research aimed to understand how literacies of young blind people occurs on contemporaneity, to contribute on education field discussion, moreover when it refers on reading and writing teaching. The specific goals were to know which literacy events are experienced by the young blind, in different social spaces; identify the subjects and/or artefact event’s mediators. It was adopted the social literacies conception proposed by the New Literacy Studies, which seeks to grasp the use people do from reading and writing on different sociocultural contexts. To discuss reading and writing it was used the interactionist perspective, which is based on the Bakhtin's conception of language. A qualitative study was made and a semi-structured interview was used as a research device. The analysed categories, elaborated with basis on the theoretical reference, were the events and vernacular literacy practices and dominant and its respective subjects and mediator’s artefacts. The vernacular literacies is related to the everyday life and there are no established rules by formal institutions and the dominant literacies are associated to formal organizations and foresee agents. Participated on the investigation five young blind persons, from 11 to 18 years of age, who attend at public and private schools on Bahia’s state and one CAEE, in Salvador. The subjects participated on scholar literacy practices and did not report the participation on other events of dominant literacy. The vernacular literacy practices refers above all to the internet use, in other to participate on social network, to read diverse news, to read books on digital platforms, and make searches on the internet, and it happens at home and at school (in between classes, on arrival and departure). The mobile phone is the main mediator artefact of these events. Family, colleagues and teachers are the mediator’s subjects of some literacy events, acting mainly as readers. Braille is not part of the vernacular literacies, being used just for school assignments and the youths reported that they prefer to read from digital technologies or from readers. There is still, however, several difficulties to obtain books with accessible formats (in braille or digital). From the reports, it was possible to notice that the school sphere values more the reading and writing by the embossing system. On the other hand, the day by day of these youths, the digital technologies are the main literacies practices mediator’s. The results of this study points out that braille must continue to be taught, because is still the only system which provides the spelling knowledge, but is important to have also incentive public policies of portable computer use since the initial elementary school grades. The reading with the orality support is common on blind younger’s daily routine and these ways and means of reading and writing in times of digital technologies must be valued by the school sphere and become also a teaching object.
