Abstract
Partiendo de ciertas evidencias estadísticas de la Encuesta Nacional de Discapacidad, del marco analítico que provee la obra de Bourdieu y las historias de vida de dos varones con discapacidad motora, en este trabajo se propone una concepción de la discapacidad como situación de dominación sujeta al marco estructural definido por las trayectorias de clase y el habitus adquirido. La referencia central es el cuerpo, en tanto que manifestación más evidente de cómo las predisposiciones que condicionan la existencia de las personas con discapacidad, y que provienen de la imposición de cánones estructurales, de tradiciones culturales y de dictámenes científicos expertos, no sólo se interiorizan, sino que se “encarnan”. Este habitus encarnado se organiza en el campo de la salud (ampliación del propio de la medicina) y las posibilidades de superar las constricciones que condenan a las personas con discapacidad a la dominación, la marginación y la subordinación pasan por su desplazamiento hacia los campos de la política y del conocimiento.
Our start points are some statistical evidences from Argentina National Enquiry on Disability (2003), Bourdieu theoretical framework and the histories of life of two males with disability motorboat; from these, our proposal is a conception of disability as a domination situation determined by the structre of class paths and adquired habitus. Main reference is the body, as evidence of how predispositions conditioning disabled people experience, coming from structural standards imposition, cultural traditions and scientific expertise, not only are interiorized but also embodied. This embodied habitus is configured in the Health Field (an extention of Medical Field), and constrictions overcoming possibilities, constrictions which imply domination, margination and subordination, are based on the translation throw Policy and Knowledge Fields.
