Resumo: Dismantling the idea that a Deaf person is somehow an unfinished, inferior and incapable individual (due to hearing loss) allows us to present the hearing public with a totally different view, one that is rich and surprising. Hence comes to light the construction of the Deaf person with a capital “D”, someone who proudly belongs to a minority community, who speaks a language that shapes ideas, opinions and feelings on the world in a set of complex movements throughout space. And all this we perceive through sight. After all, the spaces where these individuals live embrace their own values and behavioural patterns – Deaf Culture, a flag that the Deaf Community keeps on showing while fighting for equal rights. We present the results of a qualitative study, where we analyse the role of Portuguese Sign Language (LGP) and Deaf culture in the way love relationships set off. Love is a fertile field of study concerning linguistic and cultural manifestations. We inquired 10 Deaf youngsters on how they perspectivize friendship and romantic love and the data collected revealed fascinating positions as to how to choose friends or romantic partners. The crucial for these choices requisite is an open attitude towards diversity, showing respect for Deaf culture, its values and its language.

Afinal, a pessoa Surda com “S” maiúsculo é alguém com um sentido de pertença a uma comunidade minoritária, orgulhoso falante de uma língua que se move no espaço e desenha ideias, opiniões e sentires que nos chegam pelos olhos. Afinal, os espaços onde estes indivíduos se movem detêm valores e padrões comportamentais próprios – a cultura Surda, a bandeira que a comunidade Surda empunha na constante luta pelo acesso à igualdade de direitos. Apresentamos a fundo os resultados deste estudo qualitativo, onde se analisa o papel da Língua Gestual Portuguesa (LGP) e da cultura Surda na forma como se iniciam as relações de amor, campo fértil para manifestações linguísticas e culturais. Inquirimos 10 jovens Surdos sobre o modo como pensam a amizade e o amor romântico e os dados recolhidos revelaram posições de soberbo interesse quanto à escolha de amigos ou parceiros românticos. O requisito máximo é uma atitude de abertura para com a diversidade e de respeito para com a cultura Surda, os seus valores e língua. Universidade Católica Portuguesa2011-06-01info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttps://doi.org/10.34632/cadernosdesaude.2011.2823https://doi.org/10.34632/cadernosdesaude.2011.2823Cadernos de Saúde; Vol 4 No 2 (2011); 65-70Cadernos de Saúde; v. 4 n. 2 (2011); 65-702795-43581647-055910.34632/cadernosdesaude.2011.4.2reponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAPporhttps://revistas.ucp.pt/index.php/cadernosdesaude/article/view/2823https://revistas.ucp.pt/index.php/cadernosdesaude/article/view/2823/2727Direitos de Autor (c) 2011 Joana Moredo Pereirahttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessPereira, Joana Moredo2023-10-03T15:47:35Zoai:ojs.revistas.ucp.pt:article/2823Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T20:32:54.504540Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse
