The desire to understand what, after all, it is up to philosophy to accomplish and, as a consequence, what role is reserved for the philosopher, in the game of life and knowledge, although quite old (in the Phaedo, Plato had already to define what a philosopher is supposed to do), having received a lot of attention throughout the 20th century, continues to be very current.

Com o desenvolvimento deste artigo, pretende-se discutir a constituição do sujeito pedagógico surdo a partir da convergência entre comunidade e escola de surdos. Trata-se de lançar um olhar para o sujeito objeto da pedagogia que tem sua construção definida também pelas formas pelas quais a comunidade surda se insere no espaço da escola de surdos. O estudo que segue foi realizado utilizando como sujeitos de pesquisa surdos alunos e professores de escolas específicas para surdos das cidades de Caxias dos Sul/RS, Porto Alegre/RS e Santa Maria/RS. Para o desenvolvimento deste texto, foram utilizadas ferramentas analíticas advindas dos estudos de vertente Pós-estruturalista em função da conveniência que tal perspectiva apresenta quando se põe como objetivo entender os processos de produção de verdades e de constituição de sujeitos. Foi possível traçar quatro estratégias centrais que ilustram o investimento por parte da comunidade na formação do sujeito político através da escola: a necessidade de manter o contato entre os pares surdos; a necessidade de atribuição de uma espacialidade geográfica e temporal às articulações comunitárias; a intervenção em idade precoce; e a presença de surdos com histórias pessoais e profissionais exitosas atuando na escola. Através do desenvolvimento deste artigo, foi possível perceber que a comunidade entende a escola como possibilidade de manutenção do seu funcionamento e preceitos em função de que o sujeito que é pedagogizado na escola aprende lá a ser político e a dar conta do que quer a comunidade.
