Beschreibung
Autonomist Narratives of Disability in Modern Scottish Writing: Crip Enchantments explores the intersection between imaginaries of disability and representations of work, welfare and the nation in twentieth and twenty-first century Scottish literature. Disorienting effects erupt when non-normative bodies and minds clash with the structures of capitalist normalcy. This book brings into conversation Scottish studies, disability studies and Marxist autonomist theory to trace the ways in which these “crip enchantments” are imagined in modern Scottish writing, and the “autonomist” narratives of disability by which they are evoked.
