Analisi sulla disabilità e sulla queerness ormai sono al centro del dibattito in ogni società. Entrambi i campi di studio si occupano d’altra parte di corpi, piaceri e identità, eppure il modo in cui questi due ambiti disciplinari si intrecciano e si scambiano informazioni è ancora tutto da scoprire.Attingendo alla teoria femminista, alle teorie culturali afroamericane e latinoamericane, alla narrazione letteraria, cinematografica e televisiva, alle teorie della globalizzazione e de...

Contends that disability is a central but misunderstood element of global austerity politics.Broadly attentive to the political and economic shifts of the last several decades, Robert McRuer asks how disability activists, artists and social movements generate change and resist the dominant forms of globalization in an age of austerity, or “crip times.”Throughout Crip Times, McRuer considers how transnational queer disability theory and culture—acti...

A bold and contemporary discourse of the intersection of disability studies and queer studies.Crip Theory attends to the contemporary cultures of disability and queerness that are coming out all over.

Before the 1969 Stonewall Riots ushered in the contemporary gay liberation movement, overt representations of same-sex desire in American literature and the arts were few and far between. Even in the 1970s, when gay and lesbian cultures began to register on our national consciousness, such work was still quite rare.In the 1980s and 90s, however, all that changed. The Queer Renaissance puts a name to the unprecedented outpouring of creative work by openly lesbian and...

What revolutionary disability politics look like today, with lessons for larger liberatory movements.In recent political times, disability identity has been mobilized in ways that paradoxically compound bodily injury and disability. This single-issue approach obscures the oppression of disabled people and prevents solidarity across difference.In Disability, Revolution, Robert McRuer introduces alternatives to "one-dimensional disability," providing...

The title of this collection of essays, Sex and Disability, unites two terms that the popular imagination often regards as incongruous. The major texts in sexuality studies, including queer theory, rarely mention disability, and foundational texts in disability studies do not discuss sex in much detail.
