Resumo
Discusses the process of communicational interaction of people with Down Syndrome through
photography. It is noticed that the field of Communication Science lacks discussions on the
communication of people with intellectual disabilities. Therefore, we used action research, with a
qualitative approach to answer the following problem: How is the communicative process through
photography with young people with Down Syndrome? The documentary research was used to
survey the historical process of construction of the Down Association of Goiás, as well as the
online collection of the Presidency on legal frameworks in inclusion policies. The first action
developed within the Down Association of Goiás, in the city of Goiânia, was the implementation
of a Library within the physical space of the institution, and from this cultural equipment prepared
the I and II Photography Workshop, with the participation of children, young people and adults
with Down Syndrome, and people from the community without disabilities. The I Photography
Workshop sample consisted of 6 photographs of two Young People with Down Syndrome who
participated in the Photography Workshop, in addition to the selection of six four-page
photographs from the virtual social networks - Fanpage Downeat; @downsyndromeinternational;
@institutomanodown; @downlicia_oficial - The pages belong to associations of people with Down
syndrome and a young Down's personal profiles. For the II Workshop the sample corresponds to
all 14 young people with Down syndrome who participated. The choice of images was based on
Barthes's punctum principle (1998) and for data analysis employed the similarity theory as Didi-
Huberman (2011). The approximation of the images occurred through the construction of the
Mnemosine Atlas. The results demonstrated that despite the subjectivity expressed in the gestures,
the disposition of the photographs of the young people with Down Syndrome revealed the ability
to communicate through gestures and poses. And this fact was reaffirmed in the second workshop,
where the young people with Down syndrome were more emphatic about their tastes and
preferences, which is considered a form of communication, since in expressing themselves opinion
and thought reflexive-critical. The II Photography Workshop enabled the elaboration of the
autobiographical book, that is, the participants wrote their history through photographs. It was
concluded that the results were positive, some of the participants have difficulty expressing
themselves verbally, and photography was a way of communicating with the world, especially with
the construction of the autobiographical book. Another relevant factor in the research was the
social impact, regarding the implementation of the library and the cultural actions promoted by this
cultural equipment, people with down syndrome, mothers and family members enjoy a space that
provides access to culture and the environment. leisure, thus contributing to the growth and
visibility of the Goiás Down Association.
