O conceito de capacitismo em artigos publicados: um estudo teórico

Abstract

This theoretical review aims to identify how the concept of ableism is described and used in articles published in scientific journals. The search for the studies was carried out in the Scopus, Periódicos CAPES, BVS-Psi, LILACS, and SciELO databases. At first, a pre-search was made with the terms " ableism OR capacitist", but it was found that using only the term "ableism " resulted in greater retrieval of articles. Thus, it was decided to use only the term/writer "ableism" in the searches.  From the inclusion criteria, 17 final articles were selected. The results and discussions suggest that there is a theoretical gap in terms of scientific productions that use a grounded concept about ableism.  The article points to the importance and urgency of incorporating the theme of disability intersected with other categories of analysis, from studies on ableism in Brazil.
