Abstract
This article, characterized as a critical-reflective theoretical proposal, aims to provide contributions to the production of an epistemology of ableism. To this end, it scrutinizes the idea of a norm and reveals the violence contained in its constituent elements, which pushed the difference between disability and prohibition. It then historicizes the formative processes of ableist logic and highlights how it can serve as an analytical tool for understanding marginalization experienced by minority groups, given the centripetal character exercised by corponormativity idea. It ends by noting that the construction of an ableist epistemology can add contributions to studies on race, gender, and other minorities groups, configuring as part of the broader struggle for justice and the construction of a new Social Geography, a new Anthropology.
