Au-delà du handicap : de l’expression par les mots à l'expression par l'espace

This paper is part of the sociology of disability. It aims to examine the potential exclusionary, or otherwise binding, words applied to the body. Based on a survey conducted with the participation of men in wheelchairs, this investigation developed the following statement: the dominant conceptions of the body, of movement and exchange, that display in front of men in wheelchair the words of a language that precarious the expression of their presence in the world. In the absence of a rejection of this language, they are rejecting a large part of themselves. The working on meanings aimed to abolish the borders between the weirdness of one of them and the familiarity of one of us. It would be a possible basis for everyone to be heard.
