Abstract

Deaf literature plays a crucial role in the construction of deaf identity, facilitating cognitive development through imagination and understanding of the narrative adapted with deaf characters for readers. This research has as its central theme Shrek Deaf: the study of the process of literary adaptation. Its general objective is to report the adaptation of the short story written by us from the perspective of Deaf Culture and we pursue the following specific objectives: 1) produce the adaptation of the short story Shrek Deaf; 2) identify in the adapted story the cultural aspects of deaf people; 3) analyze the adapted story relating it to deaf representation. The theoretical assumptions that supported this work on the culture of deaf people were used in studies by Lopes and Veiga-Neto (2006), Vygotski (1993), Strobel (2008), Mourão (2011), Perlin (2004), Lane (1992 ). ), Sutton-Spence (2021) and Belo (2016). Regarding the importance of deaf literature we use Mourão (2011), Sutton-Spence

(2021) Karnopp and Machado (2006), Oliveira (2017), Karnopp, Klein and Lunard- Lazzarin (2011). Regarding the adaptation of the short story, we used Macêdo (2019),

Sutton-Spence (2021), Rosa (2011), Mourão (2011). As for the methodology, it is a bibliographical research of a qualitative nature. Data collection was carried out through records of the identity story, analyzing its aspects related to deaf people, bringing reflections on the culture of the deaf subject, based on their visual experience, the Brazilian Sign Language and the relationship between deaf community with the adapted story. Highlighting that it is not enough to just transform hearing characters into deaf ones, but also to introduce deaf cultural aspects to the story, making it more inclusive, representative and meaningful for its audience.
