SUMMARY:

The Theory of Social Representations aims to understand how the construction of references used by social groups for the interpretation and classification of everyday situations occurs. Thinking that it is essential to understand the representations that bodies have of themselves, that the blind body has a unique way of relating to the world and that it is possible to view sport as a life experience, this study aimed to analyze the social representations that the blind body that practices sports has of himself. It was a field research with qualitative approach. Data were collected from 17 sport practitioners blind bodies. The Free Word Association Test was used to investigate the content of the representation, the prototypic analysis in openEvoc 0.84 software to perform the search for the structure and central nucleus and the semi-structured interview to verify the centrality. The results indicate that the blind body that practices some kind of sport represents himself by four interrelated axes, namely: the fragmented body, with the various parts indicated by the participants as their means of being bodies in the world; body/mind dualism, in which the mind is an external entity and superior to the body; health, as an important element to be constituted as a body and, therefore, with the various practices considered good to health being understood as indispensable; and the performance body, which finds in sports experience the possibilities of inclusion in society.
