Movimentos sociais e políticos das pessoas com deficiência: uma escuta das práticas de (re)existência

Abstract

This dissertation was carried out during the Master's Degree in Education in the Postgraduate Program in Education at the Federal University of Santa Maria (UFSM), as part of the Special Education, Inclusion and Difference Research Line (LP3), and associated with the Difference, Education and Culture Research Group (DEC)/CNPq. The main aim of the study is to problematize the perceptions of people with disabilities when analyzing the rights acquired by the socio-political movements that began in the 1980s in Brazil, in relation to their everyday experience. Theoretically, the research is aligned with post-critical conceptions in Education and, for its analytical approach, adopts the notions of biopolitics and resistance proposed by philosopher Michel Foucault. These concepts allow for a connection between listening to the participants and the analysis of materiality, which was developed using Conversation as a methodology. The choice of this methodology demonstrates the intention to include the narratives of people with disabilities in the body of the work and, through them, to explore three possible lines of analysis: the guarantee of rights because of the social and political movements of people with disabilities, the conquest of rights as a means of state control and management of their lives, and the various forms of existence and (re)existence that arise from the conquest of these rights. From listening to the subjects, it was possible to see that their presence in the various spaces they occupy is not only a transgression, but also a (re)existence. This knowledge must be based on careful listening and observation of others, recognizing their uniqueness and differences
