Parental Care as Infrastructure for Adults with Intellectual Disabilities in Norway
We explore the care work of parents in the lives of adults with intellectual disabilities in Norway. We theorize these parental contributions as a form of care infrastructure. Through their presence in the daily lives of the persons with intellectual disabilities as well as through maintenance work and repair work on welfare services, parents respond to unpredictable care provision in the welfare state. These efforts sometimes entail invention an…
Rethinking empathy: Professional work with persons with Pimd
This article combines ethnographic interpretations with analyses of the conceptual history of empathy. Moving beyond the more common notions, which often rely in psychological theories and terminologies, the conceptual-historical analyses trace its roots to 18th and 19th century notions of ' Einfühlung '. As the ethnographic work follows the professional work with two young women with profound intellectual and multiple disabilities, the article m…
How care holds humanity: The myth of Cura and theories of care
Modern medicine has often struggled to grasp the cultural aspects of interpersonal care. The medical humanities, on the other hand, have struggled to grasp the embodied, intimate character of care. In a recent appeal to the medical humanities, Julia Kristeva et al argue that care can be a point of crossing between these two 'ontological domains'. They evoke the myth of Cura, referring to previous utilisations by such diverse thinkers as Heidegger…
The urge to work: Normative Ordering in the Narratives of People on Long-Term Sick Leave
This study analyses the narratives of people on long-term sick leave due to low back pain. We draw upon the theory of justification - as developed by the French sociologists Luc Boltanski and Laurent Thévenot - to investigate how the informants’ narratives evoke and rely upon three ‘orders of worth’. These are the industrial order concerning being a productive citizen, the domestic order of home and family, and the civic order positioning the cit…
Freedom and Disability Rights: Dependence, Independence, and Interdependence
The increasing focus on disability rights—as found, for instance, in the U.N. Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD)—challenges philosophical imaginaries. This article broadens the philosophical imaginary of freedom by exploring the relation of dependence, independence, and interdependence in the lives of people with disabilities. It argues (1) that traditional concepts of freedom are rather insensitive to difference within …
Psycho-emotional disablism: A differentiated process
This article presents analyses of data from a Norwegian survey. By way of descriptive statistics and linear regression analyses, the study investigates the relations between disability, psycho-emotional well-being, social participation, bullying and violence. It is demonstrated that disability is strongly associated with low psycho-emotional well-being. Relying on Carol Thomas' concept of ‘barriers to being’, it is argued that this finding testif…
Politics of love: Narrative Structures, Intertextuality and Social Agency in the Narratives of Parents With Disabled Children
Recent research has highlighted how parental narratives can be important in the resistance against disabling processes. This article contains analyses of enabling language in narratives published by Scandinavian disability rights organizations. First, drawing on the work of Fisher and Goodley, I point out that the material constitute a threefold: normality narratives, resistance narratives, and narratives that demonstrate an appreciation of the p…
