Abstract

Guadagnare la disabilità tra gli ambiti di riflessione della fenomenologia è un’azione politica urgente. Con questo contributo, si vuole concorrere al dibattito intorno alla disabilità fisica, partendo dai significati dell’esperienza concreta e disvelandone le strutture che socialmente informano questi corpi nelle loro relazioni con gli altri. Vivere la disabilità fisica significa vivere un corpo compromesso che riordina l’esperienza propriocettiva di spazio, tempo, relazione con il sé e con gli altri, definisce la conoscenza del mondo e subisce una ingiusta e abilistica organizzazione sociale e culturale. In questo ambito, si introduce il concetto di dis-apparenza: il corpo compromesso dis-appare di fronte a norme prodotte dai corpi abili ed è escluso dal progetto condiviso di un mondo-insieme-con-gli-altri. La riflessione fenomenologica appare, in questo senso, in grado di ripensare e sostenere la partecipazione sociale delle persone con disabilità fisica.
