Resumen

PICCOLO, Gustavo Martins  y  MENDES, Enicéia Gonçalves. Sobre formas e conteúdos: a deficiência como produção histórica. Perspectiva [online]. 2013, vol.31, n.01, pp.283-315. ISSN 0102-5473.

The purpose of this article is to use a bibliographic review to open a field of dialog and possibilities regarding the understanding of disability through the prism of social production. It begins by demarcating the need to think about social phenomena beyond their appearances. It then contextualizes the sovereignty of medical knowledge over other knowledge as a process intimately linked to the strengthening of the capitalist system as dominant societal tropes. It concludes by presenting what is known as Disability Studies, which interprets disability as a category marked by intense mechanisms of oppression and historical segregation, therefore, as nothing natural or eternal, whose transformation is processed in unequivocal reciprocity to mutation of the very social structure that circumscribes it.

Palabras clave : Special Education; Disability; Sociology.
