Activist Affordances: How Disabled People Improvise More Habitable Worlds

Arseli Dokumaci

4.9/5 (28753 ratings)

Description:For people who are living with disability, including various forms of chronic diseases and chronic pain, daily tasks like lifting a glass of water or taking clothes off can be difficult if not impossible. In Activist Affordances, Arseli Dokumacı draws on ethnographic work with differently disabled people whose ingenuity, labor, and artfulness allows them to achieve these seemingly simple tasks. Dokumacı shows how they use improvisation to imagine and bring into being more habitable worlds through the smallest of actions and the most fleeting of movements that she calls “activist affordances.” Even as the environment shrinks to a set of constraints rather than opportunities, the improvisatory space of performance opens up to allow disabled people to imagine that same environment otherwise. In this way, Dokumacı shows how disabled people’s activist affordances present the potential for a more liveable and accessible world for all of us.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
