From its origins, the dominant thought in the Western Culture, put the soul first and despised the body, generating distinctions and hierarchies in which the spiritual or immaterial was considered superior to the corporal or material. But the bodies, far from conforming to this, have not allowed themselves to be reduced to these dichotomous patterns. The queer, turning their complex identity around, discovered the body, worked with it, but returned to the field of immateriality in which the identity is lodged, although populated with hybridizations and transversalities. The crip movement have completed the gesture of the queer entering fully into the field of the body, denaturalizing categories that were anchored to him, such as deficiency or disability, and interpreting it as radically interdependent. However, in the absence of tradition in dealing with the body, both in reflection and politics, we are inspired by other cultures that always put corporality in the foreground to go in search of the body that the West Culture lost. The Native American Indians are explicit in terms of contrast between humans and non-humans, it follows that for them there is a unique culture with multiple natures, as opposed to Western, because it believes in plurality of cultures and in a uniform nature. In order to coexist with this diversity, the West has invented "cultural relativism" and "multiculturalism", while the Native American Indians have developed a "multinaturalism" with their "perspectivism". We propose to denominate perspectivism a modality of science and politics that could manifest the radical influence of bodies in the world.

Los estudios de la discapacidad cuentan con cuatro décadas de historia en las que este campo de conocimiento ha evolucionado y complejizado su análisis sumando nuevos enfoques teóricos y prácticos. En esta ocasión, con el fin de conocer la evolución de estos estudios hasta la teoría crip o teoría tullida, partimos del marco teórico anglosajón que nos permite trazar una genealogía de este campo de conocimiento para, posteriormente, poner esta en diálogo con la producida en nuestro contexto. Dado que los principales análisis del campo apenas han sido traducidos a nuestro idioma y que el mismo no cuenta con una amplia trayectoria en nuestro contexto, este artículo se propone como una breve guía de aproximación al campo de los estudios sobre la discapacidad y, en especial, al surgimiento de la teoría tullida.
