De los discursos actuales sobre la discapacidad en España

Abstract

In this paper we take under consideration the evolution of disability policies in Spain in the last 30 years to develop the idea that in this time has occurred what we call a ‘paradigm shift’ in the interpretation of this social category. To analyze this shift, we propose a discursive understanding of disability, based on joint consideration of practices, representations, values and multiple spaces in which discourses about disability are constructed. These discourses constitute the two paradigms involved in the mentioned change: the paradigm of rehabilitation and the paradigm of personal autonomy. We argue that in Spain this paradigm shift has not been complete, but has been unevenly in different spaces. From the proposed discursive approach we reviewed the paradigm shift in the legislative space, and we note the items that have hampered its implementation in other areas.
