Abstract:

This text, in the form of an essay, aims to make a dialogue between disability studies, in its postmodern aspect, with Anthropology of Performance in two ways: 1) to discuss the influence of body on the meanings attributed to the experience of disability; 2) discuss how performance, with emphasis on sport, places the body in the light of sociability, generating a tension between new norms for the body and reproduction of current models on disability and health. We conclude that the performance of disabled people can contribute to a revision or reinvention of the concept of health,the construction of new identities and projects of empowerment. It disentangles disabilitybiological function/dysfunction and brings it closer to the capacity of action in the world by the sociability established in sport.
