RESUMO:

The general aim of this research was to investigate, in autobiographical narratives of blind adults, the meanings they give to the adversitites and to the confrontation processes experienced by them in the context of elementary and high school. From a theoretical standpoint, the study embraces the perspective of the (auto)biographical research with blind individuals, and hinges on the pressuposition that their narratives are an indispensable source of knowledge to reflect upon the guarantee of their right to an inclusive, fruitful education. As regards the research methodology, we used autobiographical narrative interviews, as put forward by Schütze (2010), Appel (2005) and Jovchelovitch& Bauer (2002). Four blind adults took part in the research, with ages ranging from 29 to 63 years old. The investigation adopted principles and methods from the (auto)biographical research in Education (Ferrarotti 2014a, 2014b; Delory-Momberger 2014; Passeggi 2010, 2011, 2014, 2016); studies about resilience (Cyrulnik 2009; Sordi, Manfro& Hauck 2011; Angst 2009; Gallego Gómez 2014); and principles from Inclusive Education regarding the blind person (Vigotski 1994; Silva 2008; Amiralian 2000, 2005; Nunes&Lomônaco 2010). The participants‟ narratives allow us to organize the analyses into three thematic categories: “relations with the regular and the special school”, “strategies of confrontation” and “resilience tutors”. These categories led us to understand the feeling of pedagogical invisibility, on the part of the participants, when they evoked their experiences in the regular school environment. The analyses of the narratives reveal that, in the processes of confrontation, blind people privilege five main strategies: dialogue; persistence; estrangement in order to strengthen; the identification of resilience tutors; and the formation of groups based on affinity. The results of the analyses allow us to highlight the importance of listening to blind adults as they talk about their school experiences during childhood and adolescence, so that one can better understand the difficulties they found and the strategies of confrontation they developed, in order to deepen the studies and reflections about the right of the visually-impaired to an inclusive education, based on what real people experienced, and on what they said about their real needs.
