Disability studies, a new field of inquiry in the human sciences, has the potential to unsettle many basic assumptions about the body, citizenship, capital, and beauty. This special issue of Public Culture explores disability criticism, an emergent sub field within disability studies. In order to develop the sub field of disability criticism, this collection of articles builds on recent work in the larger arena of disability studies, addressing such subjects as the hegemony of the concept of normalcy, the idea of the able body, and the constitutive place of disability in ethics, liberalism, and capitalism."The Critical Limits of Embodiment" examines the common sense of many recent disability studies, which tend to universalise Western norms and assumptions in which the normal is foregrounded and the able body forms the basis for the universal liberal subject. In order to query the body-related universalisms of Western thought, the issue seeks to be self-conscious about cultural locations. The volume examines the figure of the disabled in the cultural imaginaries of a variety of historical, cultural, and disciplinary contexts including English, anthropology, philosophy, and art history. The contributors include: Renu Addlakha, Carol A. Breckenridge, Veena Das, Faye Ginsburg, Wu Hung, Eva Kittay, Celeste Langan, David Mitchell, Rayna Rapp, Susan Schweik, Sharon Snyder, Candace Vogler, and, Hank Vogler.
