Healthy, independent and productive? Nothing last forever. Some ideas to doubt about ability through the lens of disability

Abstract

This paper argues that a critical approach to disability might help in doubting about the idea of ability, in reveling the myths imposed over the body and the mind of those apparently able. Via building bridges among those able and those disabled this paper presents the ideaof a citizenship rooted in the main characteristics of the human condition: fragility, uncertainty and ephemerality.
