This entails a thorough examination of the ways in which time can. Life beyond the self: Rethinking enhancement II. In Feminist Queer Crip, Alison Kafer endeavours to re-politicise disability and its relations to gender and sexuality. Challenging the ways in which ideas about the future. We consider three of Braidotti’s themes in relation to disability: I. In Feminist, Queer, Crip Alison Kafer imagines a different future for disability and disabled bodies. ![]() We examine the ways in which disability and posthuman work together, enhancing and complicating one another in ways that raise important questions about the kinds of life and death we value. Disability also invites a critical analysis of the posthuman. Critical disability studies, we argue, are perfectly at ease with the posthuman because disability has always contravened the traditional classical humanist conception of what it means to be human. We then introduce disability as a political category, an identity and a moment of relational ethics. We ask: what does it mean to be human in the 21st Century and in what ways does disability enhance these meanings? In addressing this question we seek to work through entangled connections of nature, society, technology, medicine, biopower and culture to consider the extent to which the human might be an outdated phenomenon, replaced by Braidotti’s posthuman condition. Alison Kafer’s Feminist, Queer, Crip makes important interventions into feminist theory, queer theory, and disability studies by bringing disability to bear on feminist and queer theoretical frameworks and addressing how disability is figured in and through the- se categories of difference. This paper explores the human through critical disability studies and the theories of Rosi Braidotti. ![]() |
