Слепота и „нормалност“ – случаят Руми
Blindness and „Normality“ – Rumi’s Case

Summary/Abstract: The article deals with the problem of research tools, whereby there is a greater chance of understanding Rumi’s world as a blind man; it traces the relationship between the world of blindness and the world of sight in this particular case. The main aim is to thematize manifestations of „normality“. The text consists of three parts. The first part considers questions related to research methods. It problematizes the conducting of interviews and highlights the „go-along“ (Kusenbach 2003) as a main research tool. The second part includes moments of Rumi’s story that illustrate different modes of his biography. These modes reveal his identity in certain perspectives and his attitude to the world of sight. The third part dwells on the „significant others“ and their point of view, on their ideas of Rumi as a person and the world of blindness.
