Power, knowledge, discourse and disability. Construction of "disabled" subject in the context of Michel Foucault philosophy

Summary/Abstract: Social issues related to disability can be seen from many perspectives. But its rare to analyse this issue from philosophical point of view. Thought of Michel Foucault, the French philosopher, with no doubt, can be linked to the modern understanding of disability. In the light of his ideas human body is not just the problem of the individual, but it belongs to much wider social conditions. From this point of view subjectivity of people with disabilities is also a part of social creation. This article deals with disability in terms of Foucault philosophy and tries to compare this problem to issue of discursive subject construction.
