Abstract

The aim of this paper is to propose a conceptualization of disability as a political issue. To do this, based on input from the Anglo- Saxon social model, it is suggested that the incorporation of the concepts of body experience, originally exiles analysis of studies in this tradition, may provide elements intended to illuminate the processes of discrimination, exclusion and segregation experienced by people with “disabilities” in contemporary Western societies. The text consists of three parts. At first the social model of disa- bility is characterized. In the second stage, the exclusion of the body is described, its necessary political dimension. Also, the exile experience within the social model is analyzed and a need to recover this dimension to enhance understanding of disability as a relationship of domination. Finally some thoughts tending to discuss the limits and starts to think of the social model of disability in our Latin American contexts are elaborated.
