  1. Blindness: Cultural and corporal constructions of a condition Photo: wbu

  2. Portuguese “lack of social movement”: • A recent culture of rights and a fragile participatory democracy • A State that remains with some traits of authoritarian centralism • A weak welfare-state that obliges the organizations to compensate its deficits in the delivery of social services

  3. ─ Go on with your life! ─ What life? I’ve got no life. I’m here in the darkness!

  4. “Blindness is also this: to live in a world where hope is gone”

  5. Anguish of corporal transgression: vulnerability in the existence given by a body that fails us, that transgresses references in the manner of being in the world.
