This new analysis finds fertile ground in the process of dissemination of sign language in the context of strengthening the deaf community of Belém, since the Libras has a decisive role in the struggle against ouvintist oppression. In this sense, the research focuses on the following problem: How these historical moments of dissemination of Libras relate to the construction process of deaf identities in Belém? Having the respective specific objectives (a) Characterize the historical moments of dissemination of Libras in Belem and its importance in the constitution of the deaf community of Belem; (b) identify the characters and deaf leaders who acted in these historical movements as protagonists in the dissemination of Libras; (c) describe the relationship between the dissemination of Libras in Belem and the construction of deaf identities of characters who experienced these contexts. It is intended, therefore, to prove the thesis that the dissemination of Libras through meetings between deaf people and through the creation of free courses of sign language, are decisive historical moments for the institution of an emancipatory identity policy for the deaf in Belém. The research is structured on the dialectical historical method as a scientific method and the narrative conception of identity (CIAMPA, 2005) as a research method. It is characterized as a qualitative field research, whose data should be produced through narratives of life (BERTAUX, 2010) collected through open interviews, recorded on video. In this first stage of the research four theoretical studies related to the central categories that underlie the investigation were conducted. Study 1, entitled Emancipation and Identity Politics in Ciampa's Studies, contains a review of the author's theory, contained in his reference work on the study of identity as metamorphosis. Study 2, entitled Essay of an Approximation between Freire and Ciampa, is justified by the need to bring the latter's theory closer to the educational field and the location of the oppressed subject in this place. The following Study, identified as Study 3: Deafness and the Myth of Modernity, consists of a theoretical study of Henrique Dussel's work entitled 1492: The Concealment of the Other: The Origin of the Myth of Modernity (1993), bringing the field of analysis of the process of epistemological production of deafness closer to the Dusselian modern myth, so as to be understood as a historical process of the production of deafness as negation and as concealment of the deaf other as the self of the modern ego, and Study 4: Sign Language, Educational Politics and Resistance, which is concerned with the framing of bilingual discourse and the defense of bilingual education by the deaf from a site of resistance.PPGED - Saberes culturais e educação na Amazônia
