- In the II Region of Chile, located at the North of the country and possessing the highest salaries throughout the country, there are many people with physical disabilities that resort to mendicity, which is a survival strategy locally known as machetear. According to spontaneous sociology, this scene is explained through cultural and moral protagonism that possesses solidarity towards people with disabilities in Chile. Even though this country has endorsed international human rights treaties, handout and generous disposition towards people with disability have not been subjected to exclusive problematization within a thematic unit. While reporting the results of a qualitative research carried out in this space, this article analyses the social conditions regarding the possibility of this interaction and identifies the perceptions and dispositions awaken by a disabled body begging within citizenship. It also makes the denigrating effects of these social responses towards ways of living with a disability visible. The corpus comprises content analysis of the main disability laws, non-participant observations of the interaction and 47 semi-structured interviews to people with physical disabilities that live through mendicity in the region, which are the key actors as regards disability, and Chileans who donate alms or not.
Située dans le nord du pays, la deuxième région du Chili, Antofagasta, qui offre les salaires les plus élevés du pays, compte néanmoins de nombreuses personnes physiquement handicapées qui pratiquent la mendicité, « machetear » dans le vocabulaire local. Cette situation est spontanément expliquée par un contexte culturel et moral qui serait producteur de solidarité envers les personnes handicapées au Chili. Bien que ce pays ait signé les traités internationaux garantissant les droits de l’homme, l’importance de l’aumône et de la générosité supposée envers les personnes handicapées n’a jamais fait l’objet d’une réflexion spécifique unifiée. S’appuyant sur une enquête qualitative menée dans cette région, cet article a pour objectif d’analyser les conditions sociales de possibilité de ces interactions entre mendiants handicapés et citoyens ordinaires, ainsi que les perceptions et attitudes que suscite la présence d’une personne handicapée pratiquant la mendicité. Il contribue aussi à mettre en lumière les effets négatifs de cette forme de réponse sociale sur la vie quotidienne des personnes handicapées. La méthodologie employée s’appuie sur une analyse de contenu des principales lois sur le handicap, des observations non participantes et 47 entretiens semi-directifs menés soit avec les principaux concernés, c’est-à-dire des personnes physiquement handicapées vivant de la mendicité, soit avec des citoyens ordinaires, qu’ils pratiquent ou non l’aumône.
