Abstract

The social inclusion of deaf people is a complex phenomenon that encompasses moral, conceptual, and legal issues, among others. In such way, the main achievement of the deaf was undoubtedly formalizing their own language as a Brazilian official language, which is a matter of identification, culture and socialization for the deaf. Also, sports had a significant role in the organization and subjective transformation process of the deaf which, in the context of Environmental Education, characterizes them as a tool for modifying the physical and psychosocial environments where the deaf transit as it promotes self-esteem of each individual, the autonomy of the groups, and recognition from others. The aim of this study was to highlight the role of sports as a socialization and construction of the deaf identity tool and showed that sports were the cause and means of insertion and modification of political and social relations of the deaf in Brazil.
