Abstract

MADEO, ANGELA. Coming out of the creep closet From the private effort for autonomy to the public anti-ableism struggle. Rev. psicol. polít. [online]. 2024, vol.24, e24507.  Epub Aug 23, 2024. ISSN 2175-1390.  https://doi.org/10.5935/2175-1390.v24e24507.

The aim of this article is to present the trajectories of a group of people with disabilities in the city of Santa Fe, Argentina, focusing on the “coming out of the closet”, a metaphor by Mc Ruer that allowed us to reflect on the path they experienced from a moment of private effort to pass through the institutions of “normality”, to a moment of encounter with peers and anti-ableism struggle. The methodological proposal is qualitative and has eight in-depth interviews as its main input. For the construction of the problem from a sociological and relational perspective, authors such as Erving Goffman and Pierre Bourdieu were addressed, which were put in dialogue with the contributions of referential authors of crip studies such as Robert Mc Ruer and Mia Mingus.

Keywords : Disability; Cripple activism; Life trajectories.
