The aim of this article is to challange the notion of an unquestioned bodynormativity. It is proposed that the able and disabled body is a social and cultural construction, related to bodily variations and linked to an ability/disability order of power. The theme can be discussed in ways, which are similar to those, exploring gender by gender and feminist research. Based on a handful of bronze and silver figurines from Scandinavian Late Iron Age, showing a focus on ocular matters that are connected to variations in visual ability, it is stated that in this context vision and eye-sight was a theme open for negotiations within an ability/disability axis of power.
