Abstract

Este artigo aborda conceitos essenciais em Estudos Surdos ainda pouco disseminados em Portugal. Descreve o discurso dos membros das Comunidades Surdas ocidentais enquanto minorias linguísticas culturais e explicita os conteúdos dessa concepção sobre o indivíduo Surdo. Referimos ainda a questão da Identidade Surda, tais como categorizações e processos apresentados na literatura especializada. Concluímos frisando a importância de se dar atenção aos discursos internos das Comunidades Surdas, e debatendo a perspectivação do traço ser Surdo como uma realidade médica ou étnica.
