Abstract

This paper offers an approach to certain conceptual approaches to disability, and invite us to reflect on stopping thinking about disability, properly, as the body referring to a deficit built under an ideology of normality that erases the body and the experience of who lives, feels and coexist with a “disability”. In addition, the body and experience are approached from physical anthropology, as a discipline that has taken the body as its field of study, in which they have revolved from human diversity and a series of categories to understand, describe, explain, represent, mean and give it meaning.
