La disabilità delinea uno spazio semantico dai confini labili, privo di definizione univoca e universale. Nell'essere socialmente costruita rimanda alle tre dimensioni del potere proposte da Arendt: privato, politico e sociale. Questo lavoro si focalizza sulla dimensione privata del-la costruzione della disabilità all'interno delle interazioni tra care giver/familiari ed educato-ri. L'analisi riguarda un progetto nazionale per la promozione di percorsi di autonomia di cinquantadue persone con disabilità all'interno di tredici organizzazioni, in dodici regioni italiane. La discourse analyis è applicata ai dati raccolti in un focus group realizzato tra i rappresentanti delle organizzazioni coinvolte nei processi di autonomia. Lo studio mette in luce la presenza di una violenza epistemica da parte sia dei familiari/care giver che degli educatori nei confronti delle persone disabile caratterizzata da processi di infantilizzazione. Il tema della costruzione a livello privato della disabilità necessita però di essere messo in rela-zione con la dimensione del contesto istituzionale delle politiche di welfare familistico. Pone infine l'attenzione sul diritto delle persone disabili a superare il silenzio al quale la violenza epistemica li relega, generata da una ignoranza perniciosa che ne definisce la subalternità.

This discipline works not in isolation but with the patient’s family or care giver. The family becomes a part of providing treatment to the patient and they are also given emotional and mental support.
