In this article, we present six autoethnographies of lives marked by crisis that reflect on the issues of access, very broadly defined, that the COVID 19 pandemic has raised or redefined for each of us. As the time of crisis has made access concerns more and more evident it also exposes how access is not an issue just for disabled people, but for all lives. Drawing on recent scholarship in disability studies that critically interrogates access th…
Activist Affordances
Vision Portraits
In his most recent documentary feature Vision Portraits, award-winning filmmaker Rodney Evans follows the stories of four artists – choreographer and dancer Kayla Hamilton, writer Ryan Knighton, photographer John Dugdale and Evans the filmmaker – who are either born sighted (or, like Hamilton, partially sighted) as they negotiate their way out of sightedness into blindness. This article analyzes how Vision Portraits depicts becoming blind as a “r…
People as Affordances
This article builds on the critical disability theory of affordances that I have been developing through ethnographic inquiries and the notion of "microactivist affordances," by which I mean micro and everyday acts of world building with which disabled people literally make up, and at the same time make up for, whatever affordance fails to readily materialize in their environments. Drawing from fieldwork in Turkey and Quebec with people who have …
The ‘disabilitization’ of medicine
This article presents an archaeological inquiry into the early histories of Quality of Life (QoL) measures, and takes this as an occasion to rethink the concept of the ‘medical model of disability’. Focusing on three instruments that set the ground for the emergence of QoL measures, namely, the Karnofsky Performance Scale (KPS, 1948), and the classification of functional capacity as a diagnostic criterion for heart diseases (Bainton, 1928) and as…
A Theory of Microactivist Affordances
This article proposes a new theory of affordances that is developed through a critical disability and performance lens. Through parallels to be drawn between the creative space of aesthetic performance and the performance of everyday life lived with disability, this new theory situates affordances in the improvisatory space of performance, and introduces the notion of "micro-activist affordances" as a way to understand mundane acts of world-build…
Performing Pain and Inflammation
These drawings represent everyday experiences of an artist who has been living with rheumatoid arthritis since her teenage years. Over the course of 20 years, the disease has damaged a series of joints in her body. Pain and inflammation accompany the most mundane of her movements and gestures. Fatigue and side effects of medications are routine parts of life. None of her impairments are publicly recognized and duly accommodated, as she is not (ye…
Vital affordances, occupying niches
This article proposes a new conceptual approach to disability and performance through a contribution that comes entirely from outside the disciplines; a re-theorisation of Gibson’s [1979. The Ecological Approach to Visual Perception. Hillsdale: Lawrence Erlbaum Associates] theory of affordances. Drawing on three visual ethnographies with differently disabled individuals, and building upon my previous consideration of performance as ‘affordance cr…
