Musiques sourdes? Face à cette expression, plusieurs se représentent les efforts pour donner aux personnes sourdes un « accès » à la musique, considérée ici dans sa forme entendante normative (p. ex. une piste sonore musicale). Traduction de chansons vocales en langues des signes diverses, transformation de pistes sonores en expérience vibratoire, rythmes musicaux traduits par des haut-parleurs visuels, etc. Les initiatives d’accessibilité sont multiples, mais la plupart du temps unidirectionnelles : elles visent à rendre la musique entendante accessible aux personnes sourdes, réputées vivre dans un « monde de silence ». Nos mains qui vibrent vise à déconstruire le concept d’accessibilité : et si c’étaient les personnes entendantes qui avaient accès aux musiques signées?

The title of this collection of essays, Sex and Disability, unites two terms that the popular imagination often regards as incongruous. The major texts in sexuality studies, including queer theory, rarely mention disability, and foundational texts in disability studies do not discuss sex in much detail. What if'sex'and'disability'were understood as intimately related concepts? And what if disabled people were seen as both subjects and objects of a range of erotic desires and practices? These are among the questions that this collection's contributors engage. From multiple perspectives—including literary analysis, ethnography, and autobiography—they consider how sex and disability come together and how disabled people negotiate sex and sexual identities in ableist and heteronormative culture. Queering disability studies, while also expanding the purview of queer and sexuality studies, these essays shake up notions about who and what is sexy and sexualizable, what counts as sex, and what desire is. At the same time, they challenge conceptions of disability in the dominant culture, queer studies, and disability studies.Contributors. Chris Bell, Michael Davidson, Lennard J.

Ce mémoire s’appuie sur une recherche ethnographique réalisée principalement au sein de la communauté sourde de Montréal et tente de déceler les représentations de l’identité sourde au sein de performances artistiques de la scène montréalaise. Le but de cette recherche est d’inscrire la culture sourde dans les réflexions sociales et scientifiques portant sur l’expression identitaire de minorités culturelles par les arts. Afin de démontrer les liens à la fois théoriques et pratiques entre l’identité sourde et celles de minorités socio- politiques, telles que les Noirs, les gays, les femmes ou les Queers, cette étude s’appuie sur les concepts de performativité (Judith Butler), de performance (Clifford Geertz et Victor Turner) et de représentations (Stuart Hall et Serge Moscovici). Y seront également démontrées les relations entre ces notions, le vécu des sujets, leur agency et leur expression artistique.

Consideration of sexual pleasure in the lives of people with disabilities plays little part in lay consciousness, and practically none in social policy. This article investigates such repression by engaging with a cultural imaginary that fears nonnormative sexuality as being a potential point of societal breakdown. Recent work in disability studies gives a very different understanding of the sexuate body that opens up the parameters of sexuality for everyone. This work challenges current social policy’s supposedly rational utilitarian basis and the principle of equality that together ground a sociopolitical economy of disability predicated on rehabilitation or compensation. Nonetheless, the call for sexual citizenship for people with disabi lities is fraught with difficulties, not least regarding the potential extension of govern mentality. An effective approach not only will take into account the sociopolitical aspects of this issue but also will respond to both the full embodiment of disability and its significance in mainstream culture.

As the interdisciplinary field of disability studies develops its own theoretical paradigms, it necessarily borrows from various sources. Such borrowing means that disability scholars have not had to reinvent the wheel but have been able to build on the conceptual foundations of identity-based theories that have grown out of other interdisciplinary fields, such as gender studies and critical race studies. But disability studies offers as much to its predecessors as it borrows from them. This essay explores the productive reciprocity between queer theory and disability studies, queer identity and crip identity, queer activism and crip activism.
