“…This, in turn, has motivated the position taken by authors such as Sloep & van der Steen (1987a, b) and Ereshefsky (1991) and the response and/or further developments of Beatty (1987), Lloyd (1987Lloyd ( , 1988 and Thompson (1987Thompson ( , 2007. This variant of semantic view has also been applied to the analysis of theories of sex and gender (Crasnow 2001) and of ecology (Castle 2001). We also find the use of the axiomatization à la Suppes for attempting to identify the class of models of the theory of evolution by natural selection and of population genetics (Magalhães & Krause 2000).…”

At the present time, the importance of models in scientific practice is being emphasized. The semantic view-which deals with the subject matter of models within the framework of a general conception of scientific theories-is being imposed as an alternative to the classical and historicist views of scientific theories, 1 and model views of science are being developed-which deal with questions of the relationship between models and experience and between models and general theories independently of a general metatheory of science (

“…Licia Carlson (2001), comienza la centuria a través de una reflexión feminista acerca de la discapacidad mental a lo largo de las épocas, seguida en la misma línea por Andrea Nicki (2001), quien aborda la discapacidad psiquiátrica y el trauma; Sharon L. Crasnow, (2001) se centra en la temática científica y aborda la cuestión de los modelos en la ciencia.

In the last decades, Feminist Gender Studies have raised the invisibility of women as well as the later recognition of feminine specificity. The main european and american universities have considered disability process from the occidental culture, which is jointly affected. The observance of the women with disabilities circunstances is a relevant item, whereas women have been central subject in the Gender Studies analysis. This article describes the different gender theories contributions and recognizes a variety of publications and its relevance. Current contribution tries to come close to the reflection on difference´s women with disabilities.RESUMENEn las últimas décadas, se viene abordando, en el marco de los Estudios de Género, la invisibilidad de las mujeres como grupo y de forma vinculada, el posterior reconocimiento de la diferencia femenina. Se ha estudiado el proceso de discapacitación que ha afectado a las mujeres de forma colectiva. A este respecto, resulta de interés la observación de las mencionadas circunstancias en el colectivo de las mujeres con discapacidad, grupo que ha sido sujeto central de análisis en los Estudios de Género. Con este objeto, se realiza un recorrido por las diferentes aportaciones al tema desde las teorías de género y a partir del análisis que combina género y discapacidad. Se menciona además el sentido y la importancia de las publicaciones que al respecto se han editado; se aproxima su línea de trabajo con la muestra de algunos ejemplos. La presente contribución pretende acercar la reﬂexión alrededor de la construcción de la diferencia en las mujeres con discapacidad, como grupo "minorizado" en la sociedad.
