Cuerpos, capacidades, exigencias funcionales... y otros lechos de Procusto

Abstract

[ES] El denominado modelo social de la discapacidad interpreta ésta como una construcción social, pero no presenta de la misma manera la capacidad. Habitualmente se supone que las capacidades lo son propiamente del cuerpo, mientras que se pasa por alto que llegar a poseer un determinado conjunto de capacidades es un hecho normativamente impuesto por nuestros patrones culturales de vida. Las capacidades que definen este conjunto retratan fielmente las capacidades de lo que aquí denominamos cuerpo normativo. La reflexión en torno al cuerpo, como elemento sociocultural clave, debe cuestionar el esencialismo en la atribución de tales capacidades, notando que el primer paso para caer bajo las miradas médica y capacitista es, precisamente, definir y asumir un conjunto previo de capacidades inherentes atribuibles al cuerpo. Como vía para la deconstrucción del cuerpo normativo nos planteamos poner en práctica una mirada alternativa, que se sitúe lejos de la creencia generalizada en un modo de funcionamiento mayoritario y único, y permita también tener en cuenta los modos minoritarios y menos habituales. La reflexión se convierte así en una cuestión de respeto a la diversidad funcional que, como condición inherente al cuerpo y al ser humano, resulta del reconocimiento de todas las expresiones diferentes de funcionamiento posibles.

[EN] The so-called social model of disability interprets it as a social construction, but it does not present capability in the same manner. Usually abilities are supposed to be inherent to the body, whereas is overlooked that being able to reach certain set of abilities is an imposed normative fact demanded by our cultural life standards. This set defining abilities reflects accurately the abilities of what we call normative body. The reflection around the body, as a key sociocultural element, must question the essentialism in the attribution of such abilities, remarking that the first step to fall under medical and able-bodied gazes is, precisely, defining and assuming a previous set of body inherent abilities. As a way to deconstruct normative body we propose putting into practice an alternative gaze, far from the general belief in a majority and unique functioning way, that allows taking into account as well the minority and less frequent functioning ways. So that the reflection turns into a matter of respect to functional diversity, as an inherent condition of human body and human being, which results from recognition of all different possible functioning ways.
