We analyze the paths marked by the process of 'metamorphosis' (KAFKA, 2001) imposed on a deaf student/researcher in undergraduate and graduate education. Despite legislation that recognizes the language and culture of the deaf community (BRASIL, 2002; 2005; 2015; 2021), deafness remains interpreted in our society from a clinical-therapeutic bias. This understanding has repercussions in a stereotypical notion of overcoming cast on people with disabilities that reveals the capacitism present in society (DI MARCO, 2020). We use the qualitative approach and 'life stories' (GAULEJAC, 1996) as investigative methodology, with the following research question: how the binomial 'inclusion versus exclusion' is present and impacts the academic trajectories of deaf people, amidst the contributions and contradictions of legislation that determine bilingual education? We studied the case of Sívio, a deaf researcher in the field of education and language who had the conclusion of his master's degree widely publicized by the institution in which it was held. We focus on the (re)construction of his academic trajectory from an interview conducted in Libras and transcribed into Portuguese, and we operate through 'discourse analysis' (GREEN; BLOOME, 1997) to build analytical categories that allow us to explain the influence of the clinical-therapeutic vision in the deaf community's bumpy school trajectories. We indicate the importance of training teachers proficient in Libras, the encouragement of engagement between hearing and deaf students in academic activities and the promotion of basic education policies based on bilingual education. These elements can contribute to making the university more inclusive and democratic.
