Abstract
The text aims at addressing issues related to the hybrid body–natural/artificial fusion–observed at Globo.com portal regarding the Pistorius polemic involvement in the 2011 World Championships in Athletics. During the event we have identified 23 news report related to Pistorius, analyzing them taking the depth hermeneutic method in consideration. We have found a scheduling in relation to the cited athlete for his originality and controversy, i.e., because he is a bi-amputated athlete who competes with prosthesis–which characterizes a hybrid body - along with athletes without disabilities. Pistorius' participation requires openness to the awareness of different levels of reality and perception.
