This article’s main objective is to investigate the functioning of the discourse on Haptic Social Communication used with deafblind subjects. It is based on the theoretical foundation of materialist Discourse Analysis, a tradition inaugurated by M. Pêcheux, in France, and largely developed by E. Orlandi in Brazil. It is a discipline constituted from the triad: linguistics, psychoanalysis and historical materialism. In this context, we highlight the theoretical notions of discourse, subject, meaning. In order to achieve the proposed objective, we observed networks of meanings that constitute such discourse and analyzed an excerpt from an interview carried out with a deaf-blind woman. We consider that the analyzed discursivity points to an additional functioning, adding to other materialities that compete in the interaction with the deafblind subject.
Keywords: Discourse Analysis. Deafblindness. Social Haptic Communication.
