The representations of leadership deaf community in verb-visual texts
Abstract
The verb-visual texts are analysed in Bakhtin’s (2010) point of view as an utterance and dialogic relationships. We discuss how the leaders of the deaf community are recognized and represented. What is the role of verbal-visual texts on the messages posted in virtual groups regarding the deaf community leadership? This study is aimed at understanding how this form of communication is presented contemporaneously in these virtual groups on Facebook. This article presents a dialogical analysis on the insertion of images and cartoons as a representation of the deaf community about its political leaders in virtual discussion groups on the social network Facebook – the images and texts posted on the Group - Bilingual School for the Deaf or on the timeline of the participants in the period of 2010 to 2012. Found which acknowledges these texts as depicting a political leadership comprised by “warriors” and “superheroes,” emphasizes the spread of the cultural memory and the exercise of a media citizenship representing the deaf identity, intermediated by verbal texts and by its visual and social representations.
Keywords: picture, verbal-visual, educational policy, deaf education.
