ABSTRACT
This article focuses on reflecting on and discussing the intersections of disability, gender, social class, work, and race in processes of teaching reading and writing to deaf students, in the light of post-critical theories of curriculum. The text questions classroom reports and situations, carried out in a public school for Youth and Adult Education in the city of Belo Horizonte - MG. Methodologically, we held discussions with teachers and participant observation in the daily life of a class at the school in 2021. Based on curricular teaching practices observed, the short story Circuito Fechado (Closed Circuit) by Ricardo Ramos was chosen for theoretical questioning from an intersectional perspective. The investigation revealed challenges in teaching Brazilian Sign Language and Portuguese as a second language. The results indicate the importance of considering the context of the student’s life and the prior knowledge of each student in learning processes. Finally, the study reveals how different social markers can cross curricular practices, providing opportunities for other compositions and other readings of the world.
