Sensing Disability
Disability theory privileges masculinist notions of presence, visibility, material “reality,” and identity as “given.” One effect of this has been the erasure of “sensibility,” which, it is argued, inscribes, materializes, and performs the critique of binary thought.

In order to bring disability theory closer to the lives of disabled people and the politics of new social movements, it is arg…
