RESUMO:O prisma central desta pesquisa se insere na dimensão da análise da aplicação das Políticas Púbicas educacionais implantadas pelo governo brasileiro e direcionadas à Educação do Campo aos Jovens e Adultos que vivem nas Comunidades Campesinas dos assentamentos da Reforma Agrária. Com vistas a avaliar se a efetivação dessas políticas estão conseguindo propiciar aos nossos camponês, sua permanência no campo, podendo desfrutar de uma vida mais digna para si, sua família e sua comunidade, foi feita a análise de conteúdos das entrevistas realizadas com os alunos, seus pais e seus professores, no intuito de compreender quais são os benefícios da implantação da EJA na comunidade pesquisada. O estudo mostrou que as Políticas Educacionais direcionadas ao Campo, no município de Conceição do Araguaia-PA, na modalidade EJA, têm conseguido ajudar o homem do campo na luta por melhorias na qualidade de vida de suas comunidades e contribuído enquanto elemento formulador da permanência do homem do campo em suas terras, além de se constituir numa ferramenta de conscientização política por se configurar como uma educação diferenciada da encontrada nos centros urbanos, pois suas diretrizes são direcionadas às especificidades da população campesina e tem como ponto de partida as dificuldades vivenciadas por seus alunos.

The sight of silence : the conceptualisation of silence in the visual cultures of sign language communities

Deaf people are perceived by hearing people as living in a silent world. Yet, silence cannot exist without sound, so if sound is not heard, can there be silence? From a linguistic point of view silence is the absence of, or intermission in, communication. Silence can be communicative or noncommunicative. Thus, silence must exist in sign languages as well. Sign languages are based on visual perception and production through movement and sight. Silence must, therefore, be visually perceptible; and, if there is such a thing as visual silence, how does it look? The paper will analyse the topic of silence from a Deaf perspective. The main aspects to be explored are the perception and evaluation of acoustic noise and silence by Deaf people; the conceptualisation of silence in visual languages, such as sign languages; the qualities of visual silence; the meaning of silence as absence of communication (particularly between hearing and Deaf people); social rules for silence; and silencing strategies.
