(Universidad Técnica de Ambato, Facultad de Jurisprudencia y Ciencias Sociales, Posgrado, Maestría en Antropología y medios digitales, 2018-08) Porras León, Carminia Soledad; Viteri Torres, Walter Francisco
The project focuses its research on social constructions emerged by physical disability, understood more as a constructive social phenomenon than by a biological anomaly. Disability in individuals provokes simultaneous reactions, in a society that sees difference as something "abnormal", deriving social paradigms such as social exclusion and social inclusion. Social exclusion denies the active participation of individuals with physical disabilities and does not allow free labor, intellectual and even political insertion. Social exclusion can be cognitive and society becomes the main actor of this social phenomenon, since it focuses its physical and social spaces for "normal" people and does not adjust to the needs of "different" individuals. There are methodological and medical models willing to study social and cultural constructions, to find the much desired inclusion and active participation of all individuals. From the anthropology will be studied these social constructions of the workers and ex-workers of the Electric Company Ambato Regional Centro Norte S.A.
