Creative Sign Language
This Element describes creative sign language in deaf literature. To showcase the exciting developments in Latin American deaf literature, the authors focus upon creative Libras as it is used by the Brazilian deaf community, while emphasising aspects of Libras literature that can be seen in similar productions and performances in sign language literatures around the world. Throughout the Element, the authors refer to examples of Libras poems and stories to give readers a practical experience of appreciating works of creative sign language. They describe Libras literature within its historical and social contexts and consider questions of performance, filming and editing and the potential for written Libras literature. Drawing on anthologies of Libras poems, jokes and stories, they use close-reading techniques to show how the literary effects are created, while reminding the reader that sign language literature cannot be separated from the deaf community.
Brazilian Sign Language Studies
This book brings together a collection of studies on Brazilian Sign Language (Libras). Research on Libras began in earnest 20 years ago, around the time that Libras was recognised as a national language of Brazil in 2002. Over the years, more and more deaf researchers have become sign language linguists, and the community of Libras scholars have documented this language and built robust resources for linguistic research. This book provides a selection of studies by these scholars, representing work in a variety of areas from phonology to creative literature.
Perspectiva dialógica nos estudos da tradução e interpretação da língua de sinais
Neste livro tradutoras/tradutores/intérpretes de Libras, que são igualmente pesquisadores de linguagem e especialmente da tradução Libras-português e português-Libras, unem experiência prática e saber teórico para discorrer, aprofundada e amplamente, acerca da tradução desse par de línguas – de diversificados pontos de vista. Partem elas e eles de uma perspectiva bakhtiniana, em estudos que mostram a riqueza da concepção dialógica de linguagem e sua ressignificação por pesquisadores da chamada Escola Brasileira de estudos bakhtinianos, estudiosos que propuseram a ADD – Análise Dialógica do Discurso. Trata-se de estudos acadêmicos imersos na prática, engajados na tarefa de fazer que culturas se comuniquem e se enriqueçam mutuamente.
The Linguistics of British Sign Language
This is the first detailed explanation of the way British Sign Language works and is the product of many years' experience of research and teaching sign linguistics to deaf and hearing people. It assumes no previous knowledge of linguistics or sign language, and is not structured around traditional headings such as phonology, morphology and syntax. Instead it is set out in such a way as to help learners and their teachers understand the linguistic principles behind the language. There are sections on BSL grammar and also on the use of BSL, including social acceptability in signing, variation, and poetry and humour in BSL. Technical terms and linguistic jargon are kept to a minimum, and the text contains many examples from English, BSL, and other spoken and sign languages. The book is amply illustrated and contains exercises, as well as a reading list for further study. An accompanying 90-minute DVD is available from Talk With Sign Books.

Preconceito: uma história
Buscando as raízes profundas do preconceito, este livro é um convite para a desconstrução de aprendizados culturais que perpetuam o sofrimento de toda pessoa entendida como diferente. O que nos impende de viver respeitando as diferenças? Viagem implacável, este livro examina os efeitos deletérios do preconceito a partir de sua construção histórica. Ao apresentar o fenômeno como uma categoria cultural e demonstrar que não é sustentável frente ao pensamento objetivo, Leandro Karnal e Luiz Estevam investigam os mecanismos que permitem a subsistência de misoginia, LGBTfobia, xenofobia, racismo e capacitismo, analisando criticamente exemplos de sua manifestação em diferentes momentos. Resta uma esperança: se o preconceito é aprendido socialmente, ele pode ser desconstruído — um movimento essencial para que conquistemos uma vida mais harmônica e justa. Com prefácio de Djamila Ribeiro e depoimentos de Amara Moira, Daniel Munduruku, Daniela Mercury, Fernanda de Araujo Machado, Giovanna Heliodoro, Ivan Baron, Leonardo Morjan Britto Peçanha, Luanda Vieira, Malu Jimenez, Nadir Olga Cruz, Rita Von Hunty, Rodrigo Hübner Mendes, Samuel Gomes e Vera Magalhães.
