SUMMARY:

The undergraduate course of Libras and Portuguese Language is offered by Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte (UFRN) since 2009 and represents relevant improvement in the academic-scientific local context. Differently from other Libras undergraduate courses, it’s pedagogical project (PPC) focus on the studies of Portuguese as a Second Language. Considering this course as our investigative locus, we aim to 1) discuss the valuation given to the Portuguese language regarding the construction of the Deaf identity and 2) characterize the sociocultural contexts in which the Portuguese language is valuated, regarding this same construction. We include this research in the studies of Applied Linguistics, in its inter/transdisciplinary branch, and use, as theoretical support, the Deaf Studies (PERLIN, 2003; LADD, 2005), the Cultural Studies (HALL, 2006; BAUMAN, 2005) and the premises of Bakhtin Circle (BAKHTIN, 2011; VOLÓCHINOV, 2017). Our corpus is constituted by a conversation circle in Libras with five subjects, which was recorded and then translated into Portuguese.  Supported by an interpretive and qualitative approach, we firstly read our corpus, which resulted in the emergence of the following categories of analysis: family relationships, emotions and feelings, educational experiences and places and spaces. Our results suggest that the axiological positionings of the subjects point to the Portuguese as an inseparable trait of the identity construction, which is necessary to the ascension in the job market; indifferent (it does not bring emotion); sacrifice, dispendious activity; obligation; cause of embarrassment; important, during social contact. We highlight that the positionings of our subjects regarding the Portuguese language are not dissociated from a semantic-axiological context: they assume a greater meaning if seen as a living substance in the discursive circumstance. Their points of view are immersed in valorative networks which have their origins in the distinctive social interests and in the strains of symmetric relations of power.
