Abstract

From a genealogical perspective this research addresses two historical moments, which aims to include different treatments of bo- dies and contexts of people with disabilities in the Chilean institutions. The first relates to the normalization of the body as a work force and consolidating the medical / rehabilitation model of disability in the legal medical policy from 1920 to 1940 In this case study, the intervention focused on the body relative to its productive being. The second case study concerns the media infantilized body configuration and tragic disability, establishing private charitable assistance and disability, between 1940-1950, was treated in the disability associated with an economy of images of vulnerability primacy of the body child. The methodology is based on qualitative case studies, which from the review of literature, media and files, a critical descriptive and interpretive data analysis is performed. Results are expressed as the current coexistence of personal / institutional models. This patch enables a critical reflection of psycho- social intervention for persons with disabilities in light of institutional settings and their effects on interventional practices.
