Gendering disability and disabling gender: Critical reflections on intersections of gender and disability
Abstract
Discourses of normalcy are deeply imbricated
in the construction of the social world and
organise relations between persons, persons
and the State, persons and institutions and
intra-psychic relations. Conversely, discourses
about pathology and the abnormal underpin
the regulation and disciplining of subjectivities
intersected with ideas about race, gender,
sexuality, class, ethnicities, nationalisms,
and other identity vectors.
