The thesis examines the contemporary Bengali practice of worshipping clay images. By clay is understood 'unbaked' clay. The thesis makes a distinction between 'baked clay' (terracotta) images and 'unbaked' clay (terracruda) images and examines the preference for worshipping terracruda images. The worship of clay images is examined within the context of image worship in general in India, referring to the classical iconographical canons and other texts in which clay is mentioned as a suitable medium for the making of religious icons. The study is restricted to the Hindu religion. The thesis does not restrict itself to a purely iconographical approach. The thesis discusses the artistic tradition that gave rise to the clay images of Bengal,as well as attempting to understand the religious significance of the images. In tracing the tradition, the author has used vernacular sources as well as early records of travellers. In describing the contemporary technique of clay image making, the author has relied on recorded interviews and photo-documentation taken during a three month period of fieldwork in West Bengal. The thesis establishes that there has been a tradition of worshipping clay images in Bengal that is at least two centuries old and suggests that there are earlier precedents for the tradition. It also concludes that it is a strongly regional tradition that developed in Bengal and influenced the neighbouring states of Bihar, Assam and Orissa. The worship of terracruda images in Bengal is a regional practice that is the product of both classical and 'folk' influences.

Flausino da Gama era surdo e aluno do Imperial Instituto dos Surdos-Mudos; empreendeu a sua obra, utilizando a técnica da litografia, em 1875. Por meio de pesquisa bibliográfica e documental, foi possível conhecer a obra e também todo o contexto que se apresentava à época em que Flausino decidiu estabelecer uma iconografia para a língua brasileira de sinais. O estudo também revelou que, ao elaborar o seu trabalho, Flausino da Gama reproduziu as pranchas de uma obra intitulada L'Enseignement Primaire des Sourds-Muets mis a la portée de tout le monde avec Une Iconographie des Signes, de autoria de um surdo francês chamado Pierre Pélissier. À luz dos elementos básicos que compõem a linguagem visual, analisamos a obra de Flausino para compreender a forma de constituição da mesma. A Iconographia dos signaes dos surdos-mudos de Flausino da Gama é formada por vinte estampas que apresentam 382 sinais, excetuando-se o alfabeto manual, também presente na obra. Além disso, traz 18 estampas com descrição verbal dos sinais que compõem o trabalho. Por meio dessa empreitada esperamos elucidar a origem da iconografia da língua brasileira de sinais e desmitificar a pessoa de Flausino, importante personagem da história da educação de surdos no Brasil e da língua brasileira de sinais / Abstract: The aim of this study was to analyze the first known sign language publication printed in Brazil, which was the Iconographia dos Signaes dos Surdos-Mudos, designed by Flausino José da Costa Gama. Flausino da Gama was deaf, and studied at the Imperial Institute for Deaf-Mutes. He produced his book in 1875 using lithography. Bibliographic and documentary research methodology enabled us to study the publication and understand the historical context of the period in which Flausino undertook the challenge of producing an iconography of Brazilian sign language. The study revealed that Flausino da Gama reproduced folios from an earlier French work entitled L'Enseignement Primaire des Sourds-Muets mis a la portée de tout le monde avec Une Iconographie des Signes, that was authored by a deaf Frenchman named Pierre Pélissier. Flausino's oeuvre was analyzed according to visual language categories in order to understand the rationale for its constitution. The Iconographia dos signaes dos surdos-mudos of Flausino da Gama is made up of twenty folios with a total of 382 signs, not counting the manual alphabet that is also present in the book. The publication also includes 18 folios with verbal descriptions of the signs that are in the book. By means of this study, we hope to clarify the origin of the iconography of Brazilian sign language, as well as bring to light an understanding of Flausino and his special standing for Brazilian sign language, as he has become a mythical figure in the history of the education of the deaf in Brazil / Doutorado / Artes Visuais / Doutor em Artes
