DISABILITY ART AND CULTURE AS RESISTANT SUBJECTIVE PRACTICES. AN EFFORT FROM CRITICAL STUDIES OF DISABILITY

Abstract

The article points out the coordinates to approach critical investigation in disability from the subjectivity, disability and biopolitics relationship. For this, it analyzes the struggles of the feminism and post-feminism movements, along with the social movements of disability, from Marxism, to affirmative movements. It raises a critique of equality policies as a social response to disability, given its dualistic character, focused on fixed identities, which maintains the division of a single possible world.Finally, it features disability art and culture as own practices that are expressed as critical attitudes and reflections on the forms of body subjection established by the hegemonic biopower; which have a transforming potential to establish new forms of self-government and that of the others, that escape binary logics, and reshape imposed identities to configure other possible worlds.
