Somatic Care Performances: Turtle Disco and Tendings
This essay discusses accessibility, community, bodily pain, and writing engagement, as well as meanings of “dramaturgy” in somatic and improvisation contexts. We work together as tender bodymindspirits—never just one, always interwoven—in complex inner and outer worlds. As a group of people working together, we use writing to find paths for witnessing experience. We created performances for and with each other. These are all small practices, ofte…
Towards a Crip-Ethics: Explorations of Embodied and Embedded Digital Storytelling
Re•Vision, an assemblage of multimedia story- and arts-based research projects, works creatively and collaboratively to advance social well-being and justice. Drawing from videos made by Canadian healthcare providers in disability-led workshops, we investigate the potential of disability arts to disrupt dominant conceptions of personhood that cast disabled embodiments as inherently vulnerable and dependent against the striving-for-autonomous, inv…
Graying arts access: Crafting creative online programming to promote older adults' artistic engagement in and beyond pandemic time
As the normative world pushed for a return to ableist normative life in 2022, a year marked by "severe" rates of the highly infectious Omicron variant and the loss of effective public measures, such as community masking and widely available testing, participants described the need for continued access to creative and social participation via remote options that sidestepped socially exclusive and physically inaccessible spaces. Findings indicate a…

Representing Disability, D/deaf, and Mad Artists and Art in Journalism: Identifying Ableist Fault Lines and Promising Crip Practices of Representation
This paper revisits the dynamic discussion about journalism’s role in representing and amplifying disability arts at the 2019 Cripping the Arts Symposium. Chronicling the dialogue of the “Representation” panel which included artists, arts and culture critics, journalists, and scholars, it reveals how arts and culture coverage contributes to the cultivation of disability, D/deaf, and mad art. Given that the relationship between journalism and disa…

Difference Within and Without: Health Care Providers' Engagement With Disability Arts
Re•Vision, an assemblage of multimedia storytelling and arts-based research projects, works creatively and collaboratively with misrepresented communities to advance social well-being, inclusion, and justice. Drawing from videos created by health care providers in disability artist-led workshops, this article investigates the potential of disability arts to disrupt dominant conceptions of disability and invulnerable embodiments, and proliferate n…
Making spaces: Multimedia storytelling as reflexive, creative praxis
In this article, we explore our experiences as researchers and participants in multimedia storytelling, an arts-informed method wherein we work with artists and aggrieved communities to speak back to dominant representations through film. In positioning ourselves as storytellers, we do research with rather than “on” or “for” participants, allowing us to connect in practical and affective ways as we co-create films. Drawing from dialogues about ou…
Cultivating disability arts in Ontario
Although Deaf and disability arts has been practiced under this name since the 1970s in Canada, within the last 15 years it has begun to be recognized as its own field of arts practice and production by arts councils and cultural funding bodies (Gorman 2007). Increased funding has accelerated the production of Deaf and disability art and has increased attention from arts organizations and audiences alike. With this leveling-up of Deaf and disabil…
Imagining Disability Futurities
This article explores twelve short narrative films created by women and trans people living with disabilities and embodied differences. Produced through Project Re•Vision, these micro documentaries uncover the cultures and temporalities of bodies of difference by foregrounding themes of multiple histories: body, disability, maternal, medical, and/or scientific histories; and divergent futurities: contradictory, surprising, unpredictable, opaque, …
Imagining Otherwise: The Ephemeral Spaces of Envisioning New Meanings
Why is Quebec Separatism off the Agenda? Reducing National Unity Crisis in the Neoliberal Era
The development of federalism in the context of the neoliberal era in the 2000s has partly created the conditions for a more stable co-operation between the federal and Quebec governments, contributing to the trend of separatism being sidelined in Quebec. In the context of neoliberalism, federal–provincial agreements have created conditions for just enough asymmetry in the relationship between the federal government and Quebec, something that Que…
Transcendence in Simone de Beauvoir's The Second Sex: Revisiting masculinist ontology
A large number of feminist philosophers and social critics accept that Simone de Beauvoir's conception of transcendence in The Second Sex relies on masculinist ontology. In contrast with feminist interpretations that see Beauvoir claiming the success of masculinist ontology, this article argues that transcendence as masculinist ontology does not succeed in The Second Sex because it requires a relation of domination, something contrary to its own …
The Second Sex's Continued Relevance for Equality and Difference Feminisms
This article argues that Simone de Beauvoir's The Second Sex continues to teach academic feminism why difference feminism holds productive and generative potential for feminists and why equality feminism has been consistently subject to criticism since the second wave of feminism. Using Hegel's master—slave dialectic as a lens to interpret subjectivity in The Second Sex, this text reveals an aspect of equality feminism that relies upon masculine …
Local Activism and Neoliberalism: Performing Neoliberal Citizenship as Resistance
This paper examines cultural and anti-poverty resistance in the City of Peterborough. i Resistance in the City of Peterborough reveals activists creatively and vibrantly responding to the effects of neoliberal policy. Rather than conform to neoliberalism, as recent scholars suggest that social movements do, they perform good neoliberal citizenship by discursively appropriating neoliberal goals of economic growth in the case of cultural activism a…
Feminist Standpoint Theory, Hegel and the Dialectical Self: Shifting the Foundations
The claim that theoretical foundations are historically contingent does not draw the same intensity of fire as it did one or especially two decades ago. The aftermath of debates on the political boundaries created by foundations allows for a deeper exploration of the foundations of feminist theory. This article re-examines the (anti)-Hegelian foundations of the feminist standpoint put forward by Nancy Hartsock and argues that the Hegelian subject…
