Naomi Lawson Jacobs#DisabilityResearchForum Arianna Introna now presenting on their book, 'Crip Enchantments: Autonomist Narratives of #Disability in Modern #Scottish Narrative.' We usually start with premise that capitalism is a problem for disability. Turning that around: how can we be a problem for capitalism & normalcy? Non-normative bodies & minds clashing with structures - "crip enchantments." How Scottish writing imagines disability this way. #DisabilityStudies #LiteraryStudies #ScottishStudies 1/
The contradictory location disabled people occupy in working class Scottish lit. Avoidance & devaluing of disability in 'nationed' lit. "Disability as the presence which haunts the space of the nation" - metaphors of cure/eugenics. Disruptive power of disability in ideas of class & nation. Celebrating non-normative bodies refusing to meet demands of capitalism - showing the need to re-enchant the world. Traces disability imaginaries across periods of literature. #DisabilityResearchForum 2/3
Ends by sharing a call for papers on critical approaches to Marxism & disability for a discussion group - online sessions for presentations. (I don't want to share Arianna's email without permission, but if I find a public call online I'll share it) #DisabilityResearchForum 3/3
