Formas de compreensão da diferença e processos de normalização nos currículos dos cursos de fisioterapia.

Abstract

This thesis sought to investigate how the curricula of Physiotherapy courses, institutions linked to CREFITO-5, address issues related to ways of understanding the difference and standardization processes, since the therapists work directly with people with physical and mental disabilities, seeking correction of the subject. This research was through looking at plans of the institutions listed disciplines, which were established markers, which refer to addressing the issue of difference. The tools used for analysis of this research are based on Foucauldian concepts of power and governmentality. The analysis pointed out two ways of understanding the difference: difference and diversity and difference as an abnormality, present in the curricula. With respect to standardization processes, physical therapy uses a set of technologies, devices, resources and specific techniques in order to intervene in the so-called abnormality or disability, seeking its correction or approximation of a supposed efficiency.
