There is not Stories from a clinical device: A letter to the ableism that inhabits us

There is not

Authors

Abstract

This text-letter was produced based on clinical consultations performed with blind and low-vision individuals, at the Benjamin Constant Institute (Rio de Janeiro - RJ, Brazil). The produced affections called us to (re)know the ableism that inhabits each one of us and performs excluding and oppressive practices. With the field diaries records of this clinical and research experience, we have discussed the possibility of the (re)invention of self-existence concerning the challenges of seeing and not seeing in an ableist society. Through the theoretical-methodological approach of the Actor-Network Theory (ANT), it is proposed to accompany actants, their actions and connections, as well as the articulation between science in the feminine and our intention to produce knowledge that have the potential to transform the world. We share scenes, questions, and crossings that mobilize us, questioning our role as people with and without visual impairment in the social (de)construction of ableism.
