It focuses on Associação dos Deficientes Visuais do Estado de Goiás (ADVEG) (Association for the Visually Handicapped of Goiás State) in order to analyze the meaning attributed to the concept of citizenship. The study is based on the assumption that actions performed by the visually handicapped contribute to the formation of a political culture that is capable of promoting changes in their lives. This is especially true with regards to the emergence of citizen rights, a new concept of justice, and democratic practices. Theoretical references were extracted from the works of Almeida (1992; 2003), Cruz (2004; 2005), Dagnino (1994; 2002; 2004; 2006), Arendt (1989; 2001; 2007a; 2007b; 2007c; 2007d), and Gohn (1999; 2002; 2003; 2007a; 2007b). By recovering historical aspects of social movements, this research investigated characteristics of the trajectory of organization of visually handicapped people. The aim was to understand the dynamics of this trajectory and, above all, to reveal how this social condition is constructed, as far as the role these people attribute to citizenship is concerned. This study case consists of a qualitative empirical research involving twenty members of ADVEG and it employed semi-structured interviews, observations, and documental analysis in the city of Goiânia. Results indicate that the inclusion of visually handicapped people in the job market remains limited, which reveals a sense of citizenship composed of rights under the perspective of legal achievements previously defined by legislation. This is seldom put into practice, but it is linked to a strategy conveyed by dominant classes and by the State; this strategy aims at a social inclusion policy as a juridical and political condition that is crucial for the implementation of the reigning economic model / O presente estudo, intitulado Cidadania das pessoas com deficiência visual do Estado de Goiás: trajetória, organização e discurso, é resultado da investigação empreendida nos estudos de Mestrado em Educação ligada à Linha de Pesquisa: Formação e profissionalização docente, da Faculdade de Educação da Universidade Federal de Goiás. Este estudo tem por objetivo discutir o significado do conceito de cidadania, sendo a associação dos deficientes visuais do Estado de Goiás o objeto de estudo. Parte-se do princípio de que as ações empreendidas pelas pessoas com deficiência visual contribuem para a elaboração de uma cultura política que opere mudanças na vida dessas pessoas, em especial para a emergência da realidade de direitos de cidadania, de um novo conceito de justiça e de práticas democráticas. Utilizou-se dos referenciais teóricos de Almeida (1992,2003), Cruz (2004, 2005), Dagnino (1994, 2002, 2004, 2006), Arendt (1989, 2001, 2007a, 2007b, 2007c, 2007d), Gonh (1999, 2002, 2003, 2007a, 2007b). A pesquisa implica a recuperação de aspectos históricos dos movimentos sociais; investiga características da trajetória de organização das pessoas com deficiência visual, a fim de compreender sua dinâmica, o papel por elas atribuído à cidadania, buscando entender, antes de tudo, como tal condição social é construída. Para tanto, foi realizada uma pesquisa empírica, qualitativa e estudo de caso que envolveu vinte associados da Associação dos deficientes visuais do Estado de Goiás- ADVEG por meio de entrevistas semi-estruturadas, observações e análise documental no Município de Goiânia. Os resultados encontrados apontam para o fato de que a inserção social das pessoas com deficiência visual no mercado de trabalho continua limitada, revelando um sentido de cidadania composta de elementos como direitos, na perspectiva de conquistas legais, previamente definidos no formato da legislação. Muitas vezes isso não se efetiva na prática, mas vincula-se a uma estratégia das classes dominantes e do Estado, com vistas à política de inserção social como condição jurídica e política, indispensável à instalação do modelo econômico em curso.
