Violencias y producción somática de discapacidad

This exploratory and theoretical study examines the social and somatic production of disability at its intersection with the exercise of violence. Drawing on conceptual frameworks from critical disability studies, it analyzes how ableism—mediated through various forms of violence—has been institutionalized as a normative imperative of bodily capacity. Engaging with political theories of violence and biopolitics, the research explores state-perpetrated armed conflicts as emblematic, though not exclusive, manifestations of violence in the 20th century. Additionally, it identifies emerging modalities of consensual violence increasingly internalized in the early decades of the 21st century. These include mechanisms such as self-exploitation and the privatization of stress, which function as behavioral control strategies and contribute to new processes of pathologization.
