Recovering a ‘Subjugated History’: Disability and the Institution in the Industrial City
The paper explores physically disabled people’s experiences of institutions in the industrial city, focusing on the case of nineteenth‐century Melbourne. Here ‘institutions’ refers to the panoply of public, semi‐public, private and charitable places that were established in industrial cities to house, and frequently confine, a diverse estate of poor, ill, elderly, disabled and otherwise socially dependent persons. The aim of this paper is to retr…
Disability Studies: A historical materialist view
This paper presents an historical materialist view of recent accounts of disability in Western societies. This view is presented in two main parts: first, as an in-depth appraisal of the field of disability studies, and secondly, as an outline for an alternative, historical materialist account of disablement. The critical assessment of disability studies finds that recent accounts of disability are in the main seriously deficient in terms of both…

We di…
