Having as theoretical support the research of Strobel (2008), Vilhalva (2004), Perlin (1988), Karnopp (2008) and Azevedo (2015) on deaf studies and the authors Cascudo (2003; 2006), Pozzetti (2015) and Almeida (2005) for the development of a bibliographical research with a qualitative approach with a dialectical approach that seeks to analyze a social reality. The interest in the researched topic is the result of the deaf researcher's experiences during his academic career participating in extension and monitoring project activities that related Amazonian legends to deaf literature.
