Memory, discourse and subject: the deaf person´s gap between l1 and l2

Abstract

The present investigation aims to analyze the possible effects of meanings present in interdiscursive memory and how the notion of subject-position represents the deaf subject in the materiality in question, a text taken from the social network Facebook. In this study, we bring a proposal that falls within the theoretical-methodological scope of
French materialist Discourse Analysis - AD - and we will reflect on the light of authors such as: Pêcheux (1999; 2009),
Orlandi (2007; 2015), Indursky (2000; 2013) among others. To address Libras, deaf subject and the relationship between L1 and L2; Fernandes and Moreira (2009), Quadros (1997), among others. The corpus under analysis was collected from a post on the social network Facebook, which we worked on the analysis based on 2 discursive sequences. Our proposal is to relate the theoretical discussion present in AD here, through the following categories: memory/interdiscourse; we
analyze the relationship that the deaf person's writing plays and evokes meanings that already exist in memory and interdiscourse, as well as the intrinsic relationship that Libras, the deaf person's L1, is present in Portuguese as an identity
mark of this subject, marking their subject-position. The analysis of the corpus points to the demarcation of subjectpositions affiliated with the defense of possible deaf identities by the discourse that supports deafness as a socioanthropological difference and not by the discourse affiliated with disability, these functions being triggered by the memory present in the discursive formations and by the pre-constructed available in the interdiscourse.
