A sociological approach to disability from the social model: characteristic notes

Abstract

This work proposes to analyse disability from a sociological perspective similar to that of the Anglo-Saxon social model. This calls into question the traditional perspective, according to which disability is understood as an insufficiency suffered by an individual, leaving aside the socio-cultural context in which it makes sense (the medico-physiological model). If this context is taken into account, it is found that disability, as a social phenomenon, affects three interconnected areas: everyday practices, social identity and social stratification. This analysis involves the development of a theoretical framework that looks at disability in terms of ‘difference’ and demonstrates why it translates into marginalisation, exclusion and oppression. It should also be developed on the basis of empirical studies taking into account the experience of people with disabilities.
