| Resumo: | The cochlear implant is an electronic device used as part of therapeutic processes for people with innate or acquired deafness, of the profound sensorineural type, which aims to provide them with access to sound. For some, this device is seen as a technological resource capable of 'healing' or, at least, enabling deaf people a real integration into the mostly hearing society, improving their quality of life; for others, this tool is an instrument of control and regulation, a harmful resource to the deaf community, an attempt to eradicate the deaf, their culture and their language, sign language. In this article we do not intend to defend or criticize the use of this equipment, but to show how it came about, how it works and to investigate the effects of meaning produced on it from these different places. Therefore, in this work, we use the theoretical-methodological contribution of the materialist discourse analysis proposed by Michel Pêcheux, in France, and by Eni Orlandi, here in Brazil. From this analytical investment, we perceive the discourse on the cochlear implant as an instrument of political practice in which there is a confrontation of meanings and an attempt to produce a consensus about the deaf and deaf. |
