La Classification internationale : Modèle de Développement humain – Processus de production du handicap (2018) comprend le schéma conceptuel du MDH-PPH, les définitions des domaines conceptuels « habitudes de vie », « facteurs environnementaux » et « facteurs personnels » et leurs différentes nomenclatures. Ce document de référence se révèle utile pour classer l’information disponible de manière cohérente en respectant le principe d’exclusion mutuelle des concepts, central à l’approche du MDH-PPH.

Over recent decades, poststructuralist theories have allowed critical disability scholars to challenge essentialist understandings of the human species and to contest discourses which divide humans into ‘normal’/‘impaired’ subjects with respect to a wide – and ever expanding – range of corporeal and cognitive traits. For critics, however, these theories are deeply flawed. By focusing primarily on language, poststructuralism shifts our critical attention away from the often harsh material realities of life for disabled people. This has led some to turn to critical realism and to effectively re-essentialise impairment. In this article, I wish to consider an alternative approach. I suggest that the recent ‘ontological turn’ in social theory has seen the emergence of new-materialist approaches – including Deleuze and Guattari’s ontology of assemblage and methodology of assemblage analysis – which allow us to consider disability as a material phenomenon without a return to essentialism.

Donna Haraway's enduring question—"Why should our bodies end at the skin?" (Haraway 1990, 220)—is ever more relevant in the postmodern era, where issues of bodies, boundaries, and technologies increasingly challenge not only the normative performance of the human subject, but also the very understanding of what counts as human. Critical Disability Studies has taken up the problematic of technology, particularly in relation to the deployment of prostheses by people with disabilities. Yet rehabilitation to normative practice or appearance is no longer the point; instead, the lived experience of disability generates its own specific possibilities that both limit and extend the performativity of the embodied self. I look at what is at stake in the challenge to the Western logos that comes specifically from the capacities of the disabled body, understood not as a less than perfect form of the normative, but as figuring difference in a nonbinary sense. Feminist theory has long contested the isomorphism of the logos, but I go beyond simply setting out the grounds for revaluing multiple variant forms. The feminist turn to Jacques Derrida and Gilles Deleuze opens up the problematic to a celebratory positioning of difference and transcorporeality as the very conditions of life.

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.

Dans la majorité des sociétés connues, la sexualité apparaît comme un échange asymétrique et non réciproque entre hommes et femmes, une compensation masculine pour une prestation féminine, un paiement qui peut revêtir les formes les plus variées en échange d'une sexualité transformée en service. Comment se fait-il que les hommes, même plongés dans les situations les plus misérables, peuvent se payer le service sexuel d'une femme - alors que non seulement les femmes n'ont pas, sauf exception, cette possibilité mais de plus n' ont même pas droit à leur propre sexualité ?
