No one has searched my tea leaves for answers or my stars for omens, and my palms remain unread. But people have been telling my future for years. Of fortune cookies and tarot cards they have no need: my wheelchair, burn scars, and gnarled hands apparently tell them all they need to know. My future is written on my body. In 1995, six months after the fire, my doctor suggested that my thoughts of graduate school were premature, if not misguided. He... 1 Time for Disability Studies and a Future for Crips (pp. 25-46) 1 Time for Disability Studies and a Future for Crips (pp. 25-46) https://www-jstor-org.proxy.bibliotheques.uqam.ca/stable/j.ctt16gz79x.6 What would it mean to explore disability in time or to articulate “crip time”? Temporal categories are already commonly used in formulations of disability; one aspect of cripping time might simply be to map the extent to which we conceptualize disability in temporal terms. The medical field in particular has a long tradition of describing disability in reference to time. “Chronic” fatigue, “intermittent” symptoms, and “constant” pain are each ways of defining illness and disability in and through time; they describe disability in terms of duration. “Frequency,” “incidence,” “occurrence,” “relapse,” “remission”: these, too, are the time frames of symptoms, illness,... 2 At the Same Time, Out of Time: Ashley X (pp. 47-68) 2 At the Same Time, Out of Time: Ashley X (pp. 47-68) https://www-jstor-org.proxy.bibliotheques.uqam.ca/stable/j.ctt16gz79x.7 In thinking about crip futurity, I find myself haunted by Ashley X. Born in 1997, the girl known as Ashley X was diagnosed with “static encephalopathy” a few months after her birth. “In the ensuing years,” doctors note, “her development never progressed beyond that of an infant,” and her doctors held no hope that her cognitive or neurological baseline would improve.¹ “At the age of 6 years, she [could] not sit up, ambulate, or use language.”² Concerned about their daughter’s long-term future, Ashley’s parents met with doctors in 2004 to discuss the potential effects of puberty and physical growth on... 3 Debating Feminist Futures: Slippery Slopes, Cultural Anxiety, and the Case of the Deaf Lesbians (pp. 69-85) 3 Debating Feminist Futures: Slippery Slopes, Cultural Anxiety, and the Case of the Deaf Lesbians (pp. 69-85) https://www-jstor-org.proxy.bibliotheques.uqam.ca/stable/j.ctt16gz79x.8 The pervasiveness of prenatal testing, and especially its acceptance as part of the standard of care for pregnant women, casts women as responsible for their future children’s able-bodiedness/able-mindedness; prospective parents are urged to take advantage of these services so as to avoid burdening their future children with any disabilities.¹ This notion of “burdening” children finds an echo in the debate over same-sex marriage, with LGBT couples cast as selfish parents, placing their own desires over the physical and mental health of their children (and, by extension, of all children). Moreover, according to Timothy Dailey of the Family Research Council, homosexual... 4 A Future for Whom? Passing on Billboard Liberation (pp. 86-102) 4 A Future for Whom? Passing on Billboard Liberation (pp. 86-102) https://www-jstor-org.proxy.bibliotheques.uqam.ca/stable/j.ctt16gz79x.9 “Super man,” the billboard exclaims, the unfamiliar gap between the two words emphasizing both the noun and its adjective. Below this phrase is the word “STRENGTH,” followed by the imperative “Pass It On.” At the bottom, in small print, runs the name and web address of the organization behind this public relations campaign: Values.com/Foundation for a Better Life. The “super man” referenced in the caption is, of course, the late Christopher Reeve, the white actor who starred in a series ofSupermanfilms in the 1980s before becoming a quadriplegic in a riding accident in 1995. A black-and-white photograph of... 5 The Cyborg and the Crip: Critical Encounters (pp. 103-128) 5 The Cyborg and the Crip: Critical Encounters (pp. 103-128) https://www-jstor-org.proxy.bibliotheques.uqam.ca/stable/j.ctt16gz79x.10 Controversy came quickly to the cyborg. In 1983,Socialist Reviewinvited several feminist theorists, among them Donna Haraway, “to write about the future of socialist feminism in the context of the early Reagan era.”¹ Haraway responded with “A Manifesto for Cyborgs,” framing the cyborg as a figure of feminist critique.² Her cyborg was a radical border-crosser, blurring the boundaries between human and animal, machine and organism, physical and non-physical.³ Such a cyborg, she argued, could “guide us to a more livable place,” an “elsewhere,” in which “people are not afraid of their joint kinship with animals and machines, not afraid... 6 Bodies of Nature: The Environmental Politics of Disability (pp. 129-148) 6 Bodies of Nature: The Environmental Politics of Disability (pp. 129-148) https://www-jstor-org.proxy.bibliotheques.uqam.ca/stable/j.ctt16gz79x.11 Although concern with the environment has long been an animating force in disability studies and activism, “environment” in this context typically refers to the built environment of buildings, sidewalks, and transportation technologies. Indeed, the social model of disability is premised on concern for the built environment, stressing that people are disabled not by their bodies but by their inaccessible environments. (The wheelchair user confronting a flight of steps is probably the most common illustration of this argument.) Yet the very pervasiveness of the social model has prevented disability studies from engaging with the wider environment of wilderness, parks, and nonhuman... 7 Accessible Futures, Future Coalitions (pp. 149-170) 7 Accessible Futures, Future Coalitions (pp. 149-170) https://www-jstor-org.proxy.bibliotheques.uqam.ca/stable/j.ctt16gz79x.12 When describing disability studies to my students, I often draw on Douglas Baynton’s insight that “disability is everywhere in history once you begin looking for it.”¹ For Baynton, “looking for it” entails not only recovering the stories of disabled people or tracing histories of disability discrimination but also exploring how notions of disability and able-mindedness/able-bodiedness have functioned in different contexts. Baynton issues his provocation to historians, but disability studies scholars in other fields have extended its reach, pushing their own colleagues to recognize disability as a category of analysis. Deeply influenced by and indebted to this work, I use this...

Challenging the ways in which ideas about the future and time have been deployed in the service of compulsory able-bodiedness and able-mindedness, Kafer rejects the idea of disability as a pre-determined limit. She juxtaposes theories, movements, and identities such as environmental justice, reproductive justice, cyborg theory, transgender politics, and disability that are typically discussed in isolation and envisions new possibilities for crip futures and feminist/queer/crip alliances. This bold book goes against the grain of normalization and promotes a political framework for a more just world.

This research-creation dissertation focuses on the emergence of electroclash as a dominant form of electronic dance music in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Electroclash combines the extended pulsing sections of techno, house and other dance musics with the trashier energy of rock and new wave. The genre signals an attempt to reinvigorate dance music with a sense of sexuality, personality and irony. Electroclash also emphasizes, rather than hides, the European, trashy elements of electronic dance music. This project addresses the following questions: what is distinct about the genre and its related practices, both in and out of the studio? Why do rock and electro come together at this point and in this way? Why is electroclash affectively powerful for musicians, audiences and listeners? And, what does the genre portend in terms of our understandings of the politics of electronic music? The coming together of rock and electro is examined vis-à-vis the ongoing changing sociality of music production/distribution and the changing role of the producer. Numerous women, whether as solo producers or in the context of collaborative groups, significantly contributed to shaping the aesthetics and production practices of electroclash, an anomaly in the history of popular music and electronic music where the role of the producer has typically been associated with men. These changes are discussed in relation to the way key electroclash producers often used a hybrid approach to production involving the integration of new(er) technologies, such as laptops containing various audio production software with older, inexpensive keyboards, microphones, samplers and drum machines to achieve the ironic backbeat laden hybrid electro-rock sound.

Aucune pensée psychologique, morale, sociale, juridique ou politique ne peut faire l’économie d’une étude de la famille, quand bien même elle adopterait des positions individualistes ou libérales. Or quand il s’agit de la famille, l’effort de définition se lie immanquablement à une réflexion normative, car nul ne se contente de dire ce qu’est la famille et chacun croit savoir ce qu’elle devrait être. Les textes cités dans ce recueil, qu’ils proviennent de la philosophie classique (Aristote, Rousseau, Diderot, Kant, Hegel), contemporaine (Okin, Walzer), ou encore de représentants des sciences humaines (Durkheim, Freud, Lenoir, Donzelot), témoignent de ce entrelacement et le questionnent. Que la famille soit considérée comme la plus naturelle des unions, comme une violence faite à la nature, ou comme une construction sociale; qu’elle soit définie comme une société contractuelle ou comme une communauté transcendant l’existence de ses membres : tout cela commande qu’on détermine si cette institution est nécessaire, oppressive et essentiellement hiérarchique, ou si elle peut favoriser certaines formes de liberté et d’égalité; et qu’on dise quels pouvoirs elle subit à son tour et quelle justice elle appelle.

Paru aux Éditions La Dispute en 2013, le dernier ouvrage de Pascale Molinier s’attelle à ouvrir la boite noire du care, tel qu’il se déploie dans le quotidien d’un EHPAD de la région parisienne (renommé Villa Plénitude). S’inscrivant dans la lignée des travaux de psychologie et de philosophie qui en ont tenté une formalisation outre-Atlantique, son principal apport est de donner chair à une notion devenue « tarte-à-la-crème », en l’ancrant dans la réalité de situations professionnelles qui dé...
