La voz de la “dis”capacidad: “Nada sobre nosotras, sin nosotras”

Abstract

The hegemony of the colonizing discourse also permeates the discourses of dissidence, where gender studies have not impacted in the sphere of "dis”ability. The transcendence acquired by the intersectional approach in gender studies allows us to understand the cross-oppression and the construction of reality in which the habitus of "dis"ability is structured. The intersectionality visibilizes the configuration of naturalized privileges, which, for Latin American women with "dis"ability, implies the configuration of invisible relationships and identities. In this way, it reproduces the cultural logic of hegemony, which is related to the vitality of the colonizing thought that legitimizes the asymmetries that constitute the basis of the oppression of various human groups as modern forms of social control. It devaluates the marginalized voice of women with "dis"ability and introjects into their heretical bodies political and ideological technologies.
