Project of life and project for living
Andrea Canevaro, Vincenzo Biancalana
The aspirational identities of disabled subjects, or more simply their desire, require us an afterthought and an adjustment on what, for a long time, has been indicated as a life project. So, in this redefinition, the vital project emerges. In this new declination, not only semantics, the individual ceases to be the object of the project to become its subject. By overcoming the logic "for objectives”, he becomes active protagonist of a personal and original journey, which considers its environments and aspirations, revealing imaginary perspectives placed at the focus of the project itself. If the legal and social goals of the recent law, which provides for disabled subjects after the death of their parents, are eventually realized, from what we would recognize on that occasion, a "happy" disabled from a "not happy” one. Probably from the vital project he is carrying out.
