Theorizing Sex and Disability: An Interdisciplinary Approach
This volume was first published by Inter-Disciplinary Press in 2016. This volume aims to unpack the points of intersection not only between disability and sex, but the related facets of gender, sexuality, desire, and romance that constitute the broader theoretical and discursive constellation of sex and sexuality. Utilizing an interdisciplinary model that culls upon the related fields of sociology, anthropology, feminist theory, gender theory, queer studies, art history, and film studies (to name but a few), this volume seek to not only dismantle the dominant narratives of the disabled body as asexual and undesirable – a figure to be pitied, fear, or repulsed by the able-bodied – but also illustrates the myriad ways in which the disabled subject is indeed a sexually autonomous figure that is at once both desired and desiring. Finally, in seeking to challenge hegemonic constructions of a supposed ‘normal’ sexual and romantic desire vis-à-vis disability theory and subjectivity, this eBook also speaks to broader questions around the role of intersectionality within contemporary models of disability discourse and theory.

As recently as 1970, wheat crops were grown at Don Mills — and no small amount, but enough to line Toronto’s grocery-store shelves with baked goods. Single-herd milk was also commonplace, thanks to this last vestige of the city’s agricultural past. By 1980, it had been paved over, but Scott Kennedy offers a glimpse of the way things used to be.

Learning How to Fall
Beginning with Richard Drew’s controversial photograph of a man falling from the North Tower of the World Trade Center on September 11, Learning How to Fall investigates the changing relationship between world events and their subsequent documentation, asking: Does the mediatization of the event overwhelm the fact of the event itself? How does the mode by which information is disseminated alter the way in which we perceive such information? How does this impact upon our memory of an event? T. Nikki Cesare Schotzko posits contemporary art and performance as not only a stylized re-envisioning of daily life but, inversely, as a viable means by which one might experience and process real-world...
