Chen, Mel. "Brain Fog: The Race for Cripistemology." Journal of Literary & Cultural Disability Studies 8.2 (2014): 171-184. ABSTRACT: The article inquires to what degree what is dismissively or apologetically called “brain fog," or other cognitive states of difference, must be excluded from the presumed activity of cripistemology, given its active suppression particularly within academic spaces, including disability studies. In turning to cripping partiality, it attends to the concomitant importance of addressing questions of racialization and decolonization. |

Wilson, Elizabeth A. Gut Feminism. Next Wave : New Directions in Women’s Studies. Duke University Press, 2015. In Gut Feminism Elizabeth A. Wilson urges feminists to rethink their resistance to biological and pharmaceutical data. Turning her attention to the gut and depression, she asks what conceptual and methodological innovations become possible when feminist theory isn’t so instinctively antibiological. She examines research on anti-depressants, placebos, transference, phantasy, eating disorders and suicidality with two goals in mind: to show how pharmaceutical data can be useful for feminist theory, and to address the necessary role of aggression in feminist politics. Gut Feminism’s provocative challenge to feminist theory is that it would be more powerful if it could attend to biological data and tolerate its own capacity for harm. |
