A TEORIA DO AGIR COMUNICATIVO E A ACESSIBILIDADE DO POVO SURDO NO BRASIL: UM RECORTE JURÍDICO-DEMOCRÁTICO

Abstract

The present study aims to examine, through a systematic review of literature and legislation, how the Theory of Communicative Action can contribute to finding a solution to the issues of accessibility and inclusion faced by the deaf community within the Brazilian juridical-democratic context. Searches were conducted in academic databases, such as the CAPES journal and SCIELO, as well as in official legislative sources of the Brazilian government, to identify relevant bibliographic studies on the topic of inclusion and participation of the deaf community in discussion spaces. The study begins with an overview of accessibility as a norm, emphasizing the importance of inclusion and equal access to rights for all individuals, regardless of their abilities. A brief theoretical framework of the Theory of Communicative Action is presented as a perspective to analyze and address the challenges faced by the deaf community. It also explores the legal framework in Brazil, which plays a fundamental role in promoting accessibility and inclusion for the deaf community, but struggles with issues of effectiveness in implementing these regulations. Additionally, the research highlights the significance of active involvement and cooperation between the government and civil society in creating spaces for dialogue. By promoting a deeper understanding of the communicative needs and experiences of the deaf community, this study aims to contribute to the advancement of knowledge and the development of practical measures to improve the lives of deaf individuals.
