THE PRESENTIFICATION IN THE SHORT STORY “BOLINHA DE PING-PONG”, BY RIMAR SEGALA

Abstract

This work aims to analyze the short story “Bolinha de ping-pong”, by Rimar Segala, demonstrating how this work presents amalgamation between language and presence. For this, we will start an incursion into the arts produced by deaf people. From this, we will enter into the amalgamations between language and presence described by Gumbrecht (2010) and, in this way, we will understand the presentification of absent things and the physical perception, made possible through the story. From the analysis of presence, we can conclude that, through the work, it was possible to identify several amalgamations between language and presence. Thus, through the story in question, viewers can feel in their bodies what is distant, and this presentification can lead us to humanize our view of deaf people.
