MORALES ACOSTA, Gina Viviana. Hearing Diversity: Social Imaginary and Labor Inclusion: An Intercultural Approach. Psicogente [online]. 2015, vol.18, n.34, pp.364-371. ISSN 0124-0137.  https://doi.org/10.17081/psico.18.34.511.

This paper aims to establish how deaf people might be incorporated into labor market, taking into account their Hearing diversity. In this group there is a range of those who use headphones, cochlear implants, orality, and sign language. In order to comprehend the inclusion aspect, it becomes necessary to identify the quality of life development suggested by Dr. Verdugo, where the subject is considered to have desires and needs. In addition, intercultural mediation generated in two cultures was considered: one of listeners with audio-vocal language and the other of deaf people with sign language with a visual-gestural format. In this way, it is necessary to ask if the imaginary of the deaf has an impact in the way their labor inclusion is interpreted and proposed.

Keywords : Imaginary; Interculturality; Disability; Deaf; Labor inclusion.
