Abstract

GARDOU, Charles. Which are the contributes of Anthropology for the understanding of the deficiency situations?. Rev. Lusófona de Educação [online]. 2006, n.8, pp.53-61. ISSN 1645-7250.

In what way can Anthropology help to think the deficiency question? This is the interrogation, voluntarily purified, that guides our intention here. In first place, we will question ourselves, where it is that the meeting with the other, in deficiency situation, can contribute to open our eyes and lead us to discern beyond the singularity, sometimes extreme, the universes of humanity. After we will try to show that all the thought in this domain is at the same time a thought about society, because the deficiency functions as social significant, incarnating our difficult relation with the others. These questions, rolled in the deepening of the human societies obligate “to think” in what defines man, beyond the multiplicity of the contexts. The anthropologic position invites to establish the support, without all the comparative study, taking into the social and the educative of the deficiency situations, may seem disincarnate.
