The proposition of the theme of this thesis is the discussion collection that highlights the real possibility of a blind person to construct mental images. The possibility of constructing these images was therefore discussed from the very conditions of which the blind individual is endowed. We sought to demonstrate how the body, with its senses and its unlimited valences, becomes an instrument capable of assessing sensory resources which give information, pass data, materialize sensations and perceptions, formulate concepts. On the tripod - knowledge, culture and the arts - a research was made that due to the complexity and comprehensiveness of the subject, required the crossing of different disciplines, of different lines of thought, even if keeping their differences it could establish a dialogue that would lead to understanding clearly the heart of the proposal. Zubiri, Bachelard and Durand were used to compose the basis of the reading of three blind poets and the writer Marina Colasanti, pointing out the expressive force of the images in both cases.
