CRIP THEORY. A CRITICAL JOURNEY FROM DISABILITY (FUNCTIONAL DIVERSITY) STUDIES TO CRIP THEORY

Abstract

Disability Studies have four decades of history in which this field of knowledge has evolved and made its analysis more complex, adding new theoretical and practical approach-es. This time, and in order to know the evolution of these studies to Crip Theory, we start from the Anglo- Saxon the-oretical framework that allows us to draw a genealogy of this field of knowledge and, later, put it in dialogue with it is being developed in our context. Given that this field of studies does not have a long history in our context and that most of these analyzes have not been translated into our language, this article aims to be a brief guide to this field of study and, especially, to the rise of the Crip Theory.
