Abstract

This paper aims, through a process of literature review, contribute to the understanding of disability as social production temporally and spatially located. It focuses on the Medieval period, with the objective explain how the disability was understood in this historical context, to do so, we make use of studies Kapler, Minois and fundamentally Rosemaire Garland-Thompson and his work on the freak shows. These texts allow us to brush the relationship between disability and society against so unusual forms, allowing the critical of the alleged condition as aforesaid limitation or dependence, whose achievement is embodied as a work of capitalism and not the entire history of humanity as they intend our notes.
