Abstract
El texto presenta una interpretación sociológica del fenómeno de la discapacidad que muestra cómo, a fecha actual en España, implica la posesión de una identidad social débil, heterónoma e impuesta por el entorno no-discapacitado así como unas condiciones objetivas de existencia que parecen condenar a las personas con discapacidad a ocupar las zonas inferiores de la pirámide social, según los datos que ofrece la Encuesta sobre Discapacidades, Deficiencias y Estados de Salud (EDDES) realizada por el INE en 1999. No obstante, esta “condena” no está suficientemente ilustrada con información empírica y sería deseable que se emprendiesen estudios que la suministrasen. Asimismo, y pese a la existencia de normativa internacional al respecto, la accesibilidad de las nuevas tecnologías de la información se muestra como un factor adicional de exclusión. Todas estas evidencias apuntan a la necesidad de un drástico cambio de conciencia, y de práctica, frente al fenómeno de la discapacidad.
The text provides a sociological interpretation of disability from which is evident that currently in Spain it impllies the posession of a weak and heteronomus social identity imposed by the non-disabled enviroment, and also existence objective conditions that seem to condemn disabled people to be placed in the low positions of social pyramid, as Disabilities, Impairments and Health Status Survey (performed by INE in 1999) data indicate. But this “condemnation” is not enough shaped with empirical information and it would be desirable to develop researchs in order to offer it. In addition, although international normative on new technologies accesibility exists, these technologies constitute another exclusion factor. All this evidence indicates the necessity of a dramatic concience and practice change towards disability.
