Abstract

FERRANTE, Carolina. Disability policy and ʹparadigm shift?: Reflection from the case of persons  with physical impairments begging on the north of Chile. Trab. soc. [online]. 2018, n.30, pp.411-433. ISSN 1514-6871.

From a qualitative research conducted in Region II of Chile -located in the north of the country on disability policies and practices begging for people with physical impairments, this article discusses the diagnosis that affirms the existence of a paradigm shift in the consecrating the subject of a human rights approach. Far from this postulate, the recovery of view of key actors of disability, people with impairments begging and citizens who give them (or not) alms, evidence exclusion processes and in / social validation produced by an ambivalent state, that, in the context of neoliberal social relations, promotes a symbolic market of personal medical tragedy. In the same -from pity / almsgiving exchange identifications and supportability mechanisms that reproduce the domination of people with impairments and an unequal society occur.

Keywords : Alms; Disability policies; A paradigm change personal medical tragedy.
