A sexualidade da pessoa com deficiência nas capas da Revista Sentidos: inclusão ou perpetuação do estigma?

Abstract

Abstract The profusion of photography images in a contemporary world reveals a vast spectrum of the possibility to signify the human condition. The photographs of people with disabilities are included in these possibilities, revealing transformations of the significance of the disability in the cultural history context. Having a vision that sexuality can also make it possible to aim up in the world and that few studies treat with critical and emancipator way the relationship sexuality and disability, this article analyzes the representations about the sexuality of people with disabilities stamped on the covers of Sentidos Magazine - a magazine with segment of and for disabilities. Starting from the social model approach of disability it was possible to assess the tensions and overlaps between the meanings of disabilities present in the magazine and its relation to the social transformations that focus on ease of this social group.
