ROUTE OF THE BRAZILIAN LANGUAGE OF SIGNS (LIBRAS) AS A MANDATORY CURRICULAR DISCIPLINE IN THE FEDERAL UNIVERSITY OF MATO GROSSO

Authors

Abstract

The present study aims to understand the paths taken by subject of Brazilian Sign Language (Libras) as mandatory in the curriculum of undergraduate courses until its implementation at the Federal University of Mato Grosso (UFMT)/Sinop. To this end, actors involved in the articulation of issues related to the implementation process were identified. There was a bibliographical survey of legislation relevant to the theme and semi-structured interviews with professors who were directly linked to the aforementioned implementation process. As theoretical support was used, notably Foucault (2014), Orlandi (2005) and Lodi (2013), among others. It is concluded that the implementation of Libras happened, in a way, through institutional clashes, and between socio-political actors and the relations of strength and power.
