Abstract
GARDOU, Charles. Thinking of disability in an inclusive perspective. Rev. Lusófona de Educação [online]. 2011, n.19, pp.13-23. ISSN 1645-7250.

It is somehow corrupt the vision embedded in a culture. An ideal that defines the compliance, defined “unconventional”, prepares categories, ensuring that people comply, creates and maintains interaction process, opposition or segregation. This article examines the ways to devise and take it into account in our culture. It questions the format developed and the usual cultural representations. In an inclusive perspective, it invites a “deconstruction” and “New Lights” on disability
