Sumario:This article seeks to propose a discussion of "disability", understood as a complex conceptual and political problem. Firstly, we recover the decolonial and intersectional feminist epistemologies to point out some of their contributions in the field of disability, fundamentally how the centrality of the concept of otherness implies a shift towards the idea of altering bodies that demand epistemic and political ruptures. Secondly, we reflect on how these contributions impact on the field of social intervention, where dialogue with others requires a rethinking of intervention in terms of hospitality. Thirdly, in the conclusions we offer a synthesis and highlight the importance of rethinking social intervention in disability from the perspective of otherness, bewilderment, and hospitality.
