This essay has the objective to reflect about the reports produced by Itard (1822, 1828), like documents that express about the bewildered look about the difference, analyzing it like possibility to arrange questions about the historic moment that was produced about education and connect with actual questions on Special Education proposes. Analyses were performed that aimed to confront an important question to Special Education today, the government of the body and its relations with prejudice and stigma. I realized a profitable dialogue with Lígia Assumpção do Amaral´s production, that studied the cultural construction of deficient body, as well as the discourse studies´ camp. Concluding, we observes that, on contemporary, the Special Education is still affiliated to these questions: beliefs in the resilience, in standard and in funcionality-instrumentality of life.
