Resumo: Understanding how disability is interpreted today is also to revisit the senses of the past.  We focus on the medical domain with the intention to explain and understand how "deviation" was interpreted and invested within medicine, especially during the heyday of the degenerationist senses. The Archives of the Brazilian League of Mental Hygiene, from 1925 to 1946, are taken in account and our analysis are particularly based on the assumptions of biopolitics – as developed by Foucault. The League's sensitivity was to break with medical and social assistance, to restrict the entry of immigrants of abnormal mentality, to control diseases that would cause disabilities and to practice selective philanthropy, that is, to aid only the strongest. In short, it is from under the regime of inferiority - of delay to the development of the nation, of that evil that should be treated / annihilated - that people with disabilities were and can still be signified.

Nuestro recorte es el dominio médico y la intención es traer, por lo tanto, la forma en que el "desvío" era interpretado y creado por la medicina, especialmente cuando la teoría degeneracionista estaba en su auge. Se analizan "Los Archivos de la Liga Brasileña de Higiene Mental", comprendidos entre 1925 a 1946. Nuestro análisis se basa, especialmente, en los presupuestos de la biopolítica – conforme desarrollados por Foucault. La sensibilidad de la Liga, pues, era romper con la asistencia médica y social, restringir la entrada de inmigrantes considerados de mentalidad anormal, controlar enfermedades que causarían discapacidades y practicar la filantropía selectiva, o sea, dar auxilio sólo a los más fuertes. En suma, bajo el régistro de inferioridad, de atraso a la nación, de mal que debería ser tratado / aniquilado, es que las personas con discapacidad eran y aún pueden ser significadas.Entender a forma como a deficiência é interpretada na atualidade é, também, revisitar os sentidos do passado. Nosso recorte é o domínio médico, e a intenção é trazer, por conseguinte, a forma como o “desvio” era interpretado e investido pela medicina, especialmente quando os sentidos degeneracionistas estavam no auge. São considerados Os Arquivos da Liga Brasileira de Higiene Mental, compreendidos entre 1925 a 1946, e nossas análises se assentam especialmente nos pressupostos da biopolítica – conforme desenvolvidos por Foucault. A sensibilidade da Liga, pois, era a de romper com a assistência médica e social, restringir a entrada de imigrantes de mentalidade anormal, controlar doenças que causariam deficiências e praticar a filantropia seletiva, ou seja, dar auxílio apenas aos mais fortes. Em suma, sob o regime de inferioridade, de atraso à nação, de mal que deveria ser tratado/aniquilado, é que as pessoas com deficiência eram e ainda podem ser significadas.Programa de Pós-Graduação em Linguística - UFSC2019-10-22info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionavaliado por paresPesquisa Documentalapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/forum/article/view/1984-8412.2019v16n3p393610.5007/1984-8412.2019v16n3p3936Fórum Linguístico; Vol. 16 No. 3 (2019): Michel Foucault: governo, biopolítica e práticas de liberdade; 3936-3952Fórum Linguístico; Vol. 16 Núm. 3 (2019): Michel Foucault: governo, biopolítica e práticas de liberdade; 3936-3952Fórum Linguístico; v. 16 n. 3 (2019): Michel Foucault: governo, biopolítica e práticas de liberdade; 3936-39521984-84121415-8698reponame:Fórum Linguísticoinstname:Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)instacron:UFSCporhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/forum/article/view/1984-8412.2019v16n3p3936/41064Copyright (c) 2019 Fórum Linguísticoinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessDias, Vivian FerreiraCaponi, Sandra2019-10-22T14:30:10Zoai:periodicos.ufsc.br:article/60658Revistahttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/forum/indexPUBhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/forum/oaiportaldeperiodicos.bu@contato.ufsc.br || atilio.butturi@ufsc.br1984-84121984-8412opendoar:2023-01-12T16:40:35.279852Fórum Linguístico - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)false
