Abstract
The article analyzes the concept of visibility aiming to create theoretical bases to think about the invisibility of the person with disabilities today. In an essayistic perspective, it articulates theoretical review and testimonials of these people on social networks, in three movements: it thinks of visibility as social recognition; it discusses the visible through the notion of visibility regime; it analyzes its current configurations, when its meaning is being reduced to mere display. It deals, finally, with an alterity in contemporary relations between image, visibility and recognition, requiring that people with disabilities, in addition to conquer places in the space of the visible, create different semantics from those hegemonically imposed, even by images.
