SUMMARY:

The research in progress seeks to analyze the reading and comprehension of information contained in digital infographics by deaf students from federal higher education institutions in Minas Gerais. To this end, theoretical studies were mobilized from the field of social semiotics and multimodality (Kress, 2010), reading from a multimodal perspective (Ribeiro, 2008, 2013; Coscareli and Novais, 2010) and from the perspective of Portuguese as a second language for deaf people (Bernardino, Pereira, 2019; Pereira, 2018; Pereira, 2017; Karnopp, Pereira, 2012; Pereira, 2009; Pereira, Karnopp, 2003; Fernandes, 2024 and Fernandes, 2006). In addition, studies on reading and the concepts of infographics and digital infographics with contributions from Paiva (2013), Cairo (2008b) and Valero Sancho (2008) complete the theoretical framework. The methodological design includes reading and question-and-answer sessions on two infographics from the O Estado de S. Paulo newspaper, from 2013 and 2022 respectively, preceded by an interview to find out about the participants' backgrounds and their experiences with reading multimodal texts. Five participants were selected and two activities were carried out, each referring to an infographic. To analyze the data generated, the table of complex infographic reading skills developed by Paiva (2013): navigate-locate, relate-evaluate and understand-use was used in a revised and expanded way for the context in question. Preliminary analyses show that the various semiotic modes contribute significantly to reading the digital infographic genre; however, the complex skills of navigating-locating and understanding-using were not fully achieved, since many answers were not given due to difficulties in navigating and locating the data on the screen. Finally, it is hoped that the research will make significant contributions to the field of reading infographics, specifically for deaf people, whose research is lacking.
