Abstract

This research aims to find ways in which women that are in disability shape their subjectivity. In literature, the theme of body is addressed from occupational therapy; however it is consider necessary to investigate the constitution of an intervention subject that is specifically identified socially as a woman and disabled and, thus, provide new insights into our practice. The concept of subjectivity in this research is approached from the axes of gender, disability and corporeality. Taking into account the various meanings to address, we decided to use narrative productions, a qualitative methodology, with a narrative research design. This methodology understands knowledge as a co-construction between the team and the subject of study. The sample is given by key informants and snowball. As a result of the research process, experiences and knowledge of the participants and the research team culminates in a narrative production authoring each participant and a collective narrative generated by the research team are articulated. The main conclusions point out how from the experience of disability restructuring the discourses and practices of women participants was necessary, oriented to the use of public space.
