Amélioration conceptuelle en réponse à la présomption de langage descriptif neutre
No full textLibraries are reliant on knowledge organization systems such as the Library of Congress Subject Headings to make information accessible to users. This article draws on writing in critical librarianship to highlight areas, particularly involving the description of people, where the language of classification can perpetuate harm, dehumanization, and misunderstanding. It also charts progress and criticism of the way we classify gender and sexuality, disability, race, and immigration status. The paper uses the work of analytic philosophers Sally Haslanger and Ludwig Wittgenstein to highlight the problems of treating classification terms as neutral descriptive language rather than inherently political and social concepts. Haslanger’s project of ‘conceptual amelioration’ is used to frame the ways libraries can and should acknowledge that the way language is organized has real-world impacts on the way members of a community coordinate, or interact, with each other. Identifying the ways we privilege assumptions from the dominant white, settler, heteronormative mainstream culture and recognizing them as a trained set of symbols can help us make localized decisions about language that are better for our communities of learning, our colleagues, and our library users.Les bibliothèques dépendent de systèmes d\u27organisation du savoir tels que les Library of Congress Subject Headings pour rendre l\u27information accessible aux utilisatrices et utilisateurs. Cet article s\u27appuie sur l\u27écriture en bibliothéconomie critique pour mettre en évidence des domaines, en particulier la description des personnes, où le langage de la classification peut perpétuer l\u27exclusion sociale, la déshumanisation et l\u27incompréhension. Le texte retrace également les progrès et les critiques dans la façon dont nous classifions le genre et la sexualité, le handicap, la race et le statut d\u27immigration. L\u27article utilise les travaux des philosophes analytiques Sally Haslanger et Ludwig Wittgenstein pour mettre en évidence les problèmes de traitement des termes de classification comme un langage descriptif neutre plutôt que comme des concepts intrinsèquement politiques et sociaux. Le projet d’« amélioration conceptuelle » de Haslanger est utilisé pour encadrer la manière dont les bibliothèques peuvent et doivent reconnaître que la façon dont la langue est organisée a des impacts réels sur la façon dont les membres d\u27une communauté se coordonnent ou interagissent entre elles. Identifier les façons dont nous privilégions les présupposés de la culture blanche, colonisatrice et hétéronormative dominante et les reconnaître comme un ensemble de symboles articulés peut nous aider à prendre des décisions localisées sur la langue qui conviennent mieux à nos communautés d\u27apprentissage, nos collègues et aux utilisatrices et utilisateurs de nos bibliothèques

Scraps, Scrappiness, Scrapper: Crafting/Coding as Disabled Feminist (World)Making
No full textDIY maker culture is booming, and while mainstream spaces and practices often reproduce systemic injustices and inequalities, disabled queer feminist creators are crafting/coding/making differently, generating alternative futures and worlds that are accessible, ethical, and collaborative. This paper explores how disabled feminists engage with technology and design to create community and intervene in dominant narratives of able-bodiedness. My case studies move between digital and physical technologies, including crip/queer game design; the creation and use of masks (both prior to and during the COVID-19 pandemic); and modding, hacking, and other fandom practices that build access into media, perform collective care, and challenge ableist attitudes. Throughout this process of sewing together scraps, I hold onto a crip feminist understanding of materiality and the body: We prick ourselves with sewing needles or get migraines from staring at the screen; our hearts and bodies are heavy with the effort of surviving violence—digital and physical, slow and fast, personal and structural.
LETTER TO THE EDITOR REGARDING "HEALTH ECONOMIC EVALUATION OF MICROPROCESSOR AND NON-MICROPROCESSOR-CONTROLLED PROSTHETIC KNEES"
No full textThis Letter to the Editor responds to the article by Bosman et al. ( https://doi.org/10.33137/cpoj.v8i2.45823 ).
Real-world Dutch resource use data from Bosman et al. demonstrated lower non-prosthesis healthcare costs for microprocessor-controlled knee users compared with non-microprocessor-controlled knees, although the reported incremental cost per QALY (€457,063) appears unexpectedly high. This estimate likely overstates cost per QALY because prosthesis-related expenses were inconsistently prorated and implicitly assumed a 6-month replacement cycle, which is not clinically plausible. Recalculation assuming a conservative 5-year prosthesis replacement cycle resulted in an ICUR of €19,603 per QALY, consistent with accepted health technology assessment thresholds.

CORRIGENDUM: INVISIBLE STRUGGLES: EXPLORING CHALLENGES FACED BY WOMEN WITH AMPUTATION IN INDIA

CORRIGENDUMINVISIBLE STRUGGLES: EXPLORING CHALLENGES FACED BY WOMEN WITH AMPUTATION IN INDIA
In the article mentioned above¹, published in Volume 7, Issue 1, 2024, the authors cited Mishra et al. (2020)² for the following statement:
“The 2019 Global Burden of Diseases (GBD) report highlighted that India sees about 23,500 new cases of people with amputation each year, with men making up the majority—around 20,200—while approximately 3,300 are women.”
These statistics were incorrectly attributed to the 2019 Global Burden of Diseases (GBD) report and were originally reported in Mohan D (1986).³ These figures do not represent current national statistics.
