With Grief and Joy — Crip Pandemic Life: A Tapestry, Part II
No full textThis second installment of “Crip Pandemic Life: A Tapestry” opens with a reflection on transformative access and its visioning work. We weave this discussion through not only the eight new pieces found within this issue, but also through a reflection on the practices of access and care that enabled the writing, editing, and publication process itself. We conclude with two artifacts: The first is the “Accessible Knowledge Production Manifesto” that emerged as a collectively authored set of demands generated at a workshop we held in connection to the launch of our first installment of “Crip Pandemic Life.” The second is a link to a resource list, “Continuing Threads and Proliferations; Crip Pandemic Life Archive,” compiled by Corbin Outlaw, which links out to other pandemic projects documenting crip, disabled, chronically-ill, mad, and neurodivergent experiences, particularly highlighting experiences not captured within our tapestry of crip pandemic life
Crip
No full textW poniższym eseju Robert McRuer rozwija przemyślenia zawarte we wpływowej książce Crip Theory (2006). Po prześledzeniu queerowej etymologii i historii terminu crip, opisuje uderzające nowe przykłady politycznych, kulturowych i estetycznych strategii „kaleczenia” i przytacza dowody witalności teorii kalectwa jako narzędzia badań naukowych. Rozszerza, za Alice Kafer, kategorię niepełnosprawności, zaliczając do niej formy ucie¬le¬śnienia i stany umysłu wykraczające poza dychotomię pełnosprawny/niepełnosprawny umysłowo/fizycznie. Afir¬muje seksualność osób niepełnosprawnych i kulturę kalectwa. W przeciwieństwie do bardziej asymi¬lacjo¬nistycznej i reformistycznej teorii niepełnosprawności, teoria kalectwa odrzuca paradygmat medy¬czny, ogra¬niczający niepełnosprawność do patologii, którą należy zdiagnozować a następnie leczyć. Nie oczekuje od osób z niepełnosprawnościami przezwyciężania kalectwa ani kompensowania za nie, czyli – w ujęciu Eli Clare – bycia superkalekami. Emancypację widzi raczej w twórczych kulturowo i radykalnych poli¬tycznie wzorcach niepełnosprawności.In the essay Robert McRuer develops ideas published in his seminal book Crip Theory (2006). After exploring at length the queer etymology and history of the term crip, McRuer provides striking new examples of crip political, cultural, and aesthetic strategies, as well as evidence of the vitality of crip as a tool in academic research. In addition to affirming disabled people's sexuality and crip culture, the essay also expand the notion of disability, invoking Alice Cafer, to include forms of embodiment or states of mind beyond the able-minded or able-bodied/disabled dichotomies. In contrast to the more assimilationist and reformist disability theory, crip rejects the medical paradigm that reduces disability to a pathology that needs to be diagnosed and treated, and that encourages individuals to exert themselves in order to overcome or compensate for their disability (in Eli Clare's words – to become supercrips). Instead, crip seeks emancipatory potential in culturally creative and politically radical paradigms of disability
Crip Genealogies

Crip Collectivity Beyond Neoliberalism in Octavia Butler’s "Parable of the Sower"
No full textThe importance of Octavia Butler’s 1993 novel "Parable of the Sower" continues to crystalize, as Butler’s prescient imagining of urban California torn apart by neoliberal divestment comes to fruition. Following in the space opened up by Black feminist scholarship on Butler, the present essay examines her relevance beyond literary and cultural studies. I argue that "Parable" is a Black feminist crip theorization of political economy that diagnoses the disabling conditions of precarity under neoliberalism and also prescribes collectivity for crip and mad survival. Neoliberalism describes a global stage of advanced capitalism wherein governments are both incentivized and disciplined into enforcing economic policies that include privatization, deregulation, and market liberalization. As Jodi Melamed defines it, neoliberalism requires a certain kind of political governance, that puts the interests of business over the well-being of people (2011). Neoliberal governance engenders what I call “disabling contradictions,” yet the blame for conditions of precarity is deflected onto bodyminds themselves. In "Parable of the Sower," Butler theorizes these disabling contradictions of neoliberal governance under advanced capitalism, drawing into focus the political economic systems that cause suffering. Parable also depicts strategies for crip and mad survival that are made possible through the conscious creation of community and networks of solidarity that counter the neoliberal state’s devaluation of bodyminds. Gathering to read and discuss the novel, rather than a distraction from the crises, furthers the emergence of crip and mad collectivities. As such, it is an urgent and timely practice for building futures for crip and mad people

Crip heroes and social change
No full textTHIS ARTICLE PRESENTS a critical reading of Robert McRuer’s Crip Theory: cultural signs of queerness and disability (2006), in which the author, a professor of English, explores common ground between disability studies and queer theory. The conjunction of the two has been rare (Grönvik 2008:48; Kafer 2009:291) but does ap- pear in a special edition of the magazine GLQ: A Journal of Lesbian and Gay Studies for which McRuer was one of several guest editors (2003). The aim of the present article is two-fold. First, the consequences of McRuer’s choice of empirical data for Crip Theory are analysed. Second, the relevance of Crip Theory for a study on how female athletes with physical impairments relate to their bodies and to the field of sports is examined

Chronically Ill, Critically Crip?: Poetry, Poetics and Dissonant Disabilities
No full textIn this hybrid critical-creative paper, I explore disability poetry and crip poetics via my manuscript, Body Work. Poetry provides a site to explore crip experience because, as Petra Kuppers (2007) argues, "poems and their performance of meaning clasp something of crip culture's force" (p. 103). Here, the "instability of language" (Kuppers, p. 89) provides a way of understanding chronic illnesses as "dissonant disabilities" (Driedger & Owen, 2008). In placing chronic illness in a disability studies framework, and via crip theory, which critiques the common sense naturalness of ability and heterosexuality, I investigate how chronic illness demands ways of understanding that intelligently address mind and body unpredictability. In close, I will revisit Robert McRuer's notion of "critically crip" arguing that any claim to crip be enacted with intentional criticality.
