Cortez.): that of the disabling individual problem, this essay aims to: analyze, from a Socio-Historical argumentation (Vigotski, 1997Vigotski, L. S. (1997). Defectología y la teoría del desarrollo y la educación del niño anormal. In L. S. Vigotski. Obras Escogidas - Tomo V (pp. 181-188). Visor Dis.; 2001; 2008Vigotski, L. S. (2008). A formação social da mente. Martins Fontes.), the mediations that determine and mark the disability people. Our conclusions point us to the necessity of understanding this mediations, which are cultural, economic and social - in addition to denouncing and redefining them from a collective effort - in order to transform the historical genesis and opacity of the real, by detaching the meaning of minus, failure, or limit implied in the cultural birth of a life with disability. Although the resolution of such implications it is not the focus of this essay, it can be comprehended as a step to understand that the issue must be faced as a socio-historical and consequently political struggle in the search for overcoming the ideologies that daily rape and kill disabilities people.
