Abstract

This text, having as a departure point the proposals from the social model of disability, tends to a theorethical framework beyond them. To comprehend disability as a social phenomenon it is neccesry to develop an historical genealogy of its current dimensions, and also an analithical explanation of the daily inscription of this historical structures in the experience of disabled people. These implies the consideration of disciplinary technologies proposed by Foucault, in connection with the Theory of Practice developed by Bourdieu. Upon this conceptual fremework, emerge the social model “great the body; body as recipient of opressive social structures that experiment disabled people. Take in consideration this embodiement as key reflexion issue will provide, in the future, the oportunity to overcome limitatinos that constrict the three perspectives on disability evaluated: the one concerned with handicap, the one concerned with disability, and the other one which, as a critical not consolidated proposal, talks about functional diversity.
