Abstract
Historically, Deaf individuals have been classified under the category of people with
disabilities; however, Deaf communities resist this categorization and recognize themselves
as members of a linguistic minority community with a culture and identity as Deaf individuals
who use Sign Language.
This is a qualitative research study with a retrospective focus, conducted in collaboration
with some members of the Deaf community in Bogotá. Through the sharing of feelings and
experiences, the study identified what it means to be Deaf and revealed some of the identity
tensions that Deaf individuals navigate when recognizing themselves in the private sphere as
members of the Deaf community. Additionally, it highlights the implications of this
recognition in family, educational, and other settings where they have increasingly been
recognized as individuals with disabilities.
The aim is to understand, from the perspective of the Deaf community and through coinvestigation, the identity tensions that perpetuate the notion of disability over Deaf
individuals instead of strengthening and recognizing them as a linguistic minority. We
analyze how various shared experiences of Deaf individuals depict the general society's
perception of Deaf individuals, the identity tensions within the community, and some
consequences that the dual approach may entail.
