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.
