Nas linhas da cegueira : um estudo antropológico sobre trajetórias de pessoas cegas

Abstract

The blindness hapens in the whole world. This dissertation presents some trajectories of blind people, presented in the way of histories. These histories, by their turn, orientate each step of the construction of this work. Throught an anthropologic approach and starting from mediation provided by my professional experience, we try to show how the blind people feel their blindness. The central aim was to investigate the way by which the experience of the blindness has been perceived and realized by blind people who live and circulate in a sociability in very differents places, as well analyse the distance that there is between the blind people perceptions and of the normovisuals related to this deficiency. Therefore, was made personal and virtual interviews and collect of data as well in groups such as Whatsapp and facebook. The material collected gave us the possibiity for some reflextions and therefore are presented here. The histories of life are told through the characters and appears in the text as axes of theoric debae.
