Özet

Bu makale, engelli bireylerin sosyal içerme ve dışlama dinamiklerini incelerken, aynı zamanda normallik, öznellik ve eşitliğin değişen anlamlarını yapabilirlik ve erişilebilirlik kavramlarına odaklanarak sorgulamaktadır. Çalışma bir yandan mutlu bir yaşama erişmeye çalışan engelli bireylerin beklentilerine ve karşılaştıkları zorluklara ışık tutarken, diğer yandan da engelli bireyleri kucaklayan daha eşitlikçi bir toplumun koşullarını irdelemektedir. Dünya genelinde, yaklaşık bir milyardan fazla insanın bir engellilik deneyimi yaşadığı tahmin edilmektedir. Bu anlamda engelli bir çok birey sosyal, fiziksel ve ekonomik alanlara erişimlerinde birçok engel, dışlanma ve damgalanma ile karşı karşıya kalmaktadırlar. Engellilik bir insan hakları meselesidir çünkü engelli bireyler temel haklarını kullanırken ihlallerle karşılaşmaktadırlar. Çalışma, çağdaş engellilik paradigmasına uygun olarak, engelliliğin bütüncül bir bakış açısıyla ele alınması gereken ilişkisel bir mesele olduğunu, çünkü engelliliğin yalnızca fiziksel bir mesele değil, aynı zamanda insanların etkileşimlerinin yanı sıra toplumsal ve kurumsal algılar nedeniyle deneyimledikleri sosyokültürel bir olgudur.
