Normal/anormal. La construcción social de la locura y su incidencia en la exclusión e invisibilización de los habitantes de calle del centro de Quito.

Abstract

The dominant cultural dynamics and social imaginary in downtown Quito establish boundaries that define the norm and its deviations. Society constructs spaces for common coexistence that, following this logic, exclude and make homeless people invisible, perceiving them as "abnormal" due to their lack of a home and the perception of not being productively functional.
