Critical studies of disability and neurodiversity: deviations/imaginations analytical-methodological

Abstract

In this work I explore some of the main attributes that allow disability studies to be studied academically in terms of a false problem. What interests critical disability studies is how to inhabit diverse methods in order to undo the normative domains of knowledge to which they lead us. The method used to construct this essay has been that of critical documentary review. The work concludes that one of the most significant warnings that explanatory models of disability lead us to is their philosophical, ideological and epistemic inability to offer a radical alternative to destabilize the disabling tendencies – still in use – typical of society. modern, which have been made invisible and/or discussed with little contextual relevance. The problem of critical disability studies is multiple. It requires, on the one hand, recognition of the marked methodological deficit that affects its research practices, as well as the circle of epistemological reproduction that nourishes and informs the thinking habits of its practitioners, who position their objects of analysis through biopolitical paradigm of rights.
