Abstract

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

What is more cultural than the way to understand disability and to provide answers? Disability affects the person but also its wider environment, by challenging the prevailing cultural order. 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

Keywords : inclusion; culture; deconstruction; New Enlightenment; reinvention of the social order.
