Abstract:

Deafness can be understoodthe clinical-therapeutic and the socio-anthropological perspectives. These different practices of knowledge and power, impact in the policies aimed at the deaf population. The study aims to perform a genealogical analysis of deafness; that is, an analysis of the practices of knowledge and power in Brazilian health policy. This is a qualitative, documentary study based on the theoretical assumptions of Foucault. Were ed 23 documents and conducting eight semi-structured interviews, which were also considered documents, with a non-probabilistic sample using the snowball technique. The genealogical analysis showed that health policies aimed at people with hearing impairment resultthe power and knowledge relationships in the field of deafness, in which the medical-pathological discourse is seen as the real perspective, understanding deafness as a disability to be corrected. The socio-anthropological approach, which recognizes the deaf through the perspective of difference and the use of sign language, is a subject discourse that has not found space in health policy. The study highlighted the contradictions between the achievements related to the access to technologies and the propositions of the health sector, whose policy directs its actions exclusively to reach a listening standard, disregarding the multiplicity of deaf individuals.
