CASTELLI RODRIGUEZ, Luisina. Memories from the Body-Archive among People with Disabilities. Nómadas [online]. 2020, n.52, pp.183-197. ISSN 0121-7550.  https://doi.org/10.30578/nomadas.n52a11.

The article invites us to think about the past time of people with disabilities by merging categories like body and memory. It presents the body as a sensitive archive that produces multiple horizons of the past and by the making of public memories, it challenges the established point of view about this population. Some of the conclusions are that there is a link between social memory and corporal normalization, that what is socially bearable in the stories of people with disabilities is linked to their social position, and that it is necessary to disarm the obvious.

Keywords : Body; Disability; Memory; Ethnography; Medicine; Art.
