By introducing the concept 'inclusive differences' of disability this paper suggests that disability is the outcome of historically specific, embodied human and non-human configurations fabricated within the conduct of everyday life. Inclusive differences question the attempt given by exclusive perspectives that try to divide analytically, conceptually or politically 'disability' a priori into an individual (natural) bodily impairment or a purely socio-cultural attributed disability. Applying the concept of inclusive differences, neither the domain of 'nature' nor 'society' can function as a disability's self-explanatory force. Rather, inclusive differences highlight the connection between human and non-human relations that make up the different enabling and/or disabling scenarios of societal realities. Drawing on the practices of blind people in a visual culture this paper discusses related specificities of inclusive differences. |
