Editorial: Cripping Development

Editorial: Cripping Development Sheila L. Cavanagh and Malena Gustavson We are thrilled to introduce the special issue of Somatechnics devoted to `Cripping Development.' Katerina Kolaova and M. Katharina ´r ´ Wiedlack, our guest editors, have choreographed a uniquely crip approach to urgent issues in development studies including, but not limited to, race, class, labour, capitalism, migration, gentrification, neo-liberalism and globality. What unites the collection is a willingness to move beyond the terms of disability studies narrowly defined by talk about `access' and `accessibility.' Conventional approaches to `access' fit into neo-liberal institutional, hegemonic and capitalist fantasies of progress, capacity, efficiency, metrics, productivity, optimism and ultimately westernization. The articles all consider how development projects impact upon the bodies, lives, communities and cultures of those implicated by ideas, policies and practices of development. Questions about time, geo-politics and subjectivity are central. Each contributor writes from an academic, activist or artistic perspective. Together, they make a compelling case for critical development studies from a uniquely crip perspective. The issue is arranged in four main parts: a roundtable discussion; the articles; an open forum with positioning papers; and book reviews. As editors of Somatechnics we are welcoming and saying good-bye to some esteemed colleagues.

Abstract

Sheila L. Cavanagh and Malena Gustavson We are thrilled to introduce the special issue of Somatechnics devoted to `Cripping Development.' Katerina Kolaova and M. Katharina ´r ´ Wiedlack, our guest editors, have choreographed a uniquely crip approach to urgent issues in development studies including, but not limited to, race, class, labour, capitalism, migration, gentrification, neo-liberalism and globality. What unites the collection is a willingness to move beyond the terms of disability studies narrowly defined by talk about `access' and `accessibility.' Conventional approaches to `access' fit into neo-liberal institutional, hegemonic and capitalist fantasies of progress, capacity, efficiency, metrics, productivity, optimism and ultimately westernization. The articles all consider how development projects impact upon the bodies, lives, communities and cultures of those implicated by ideas, policies and practices of development. Questions about time, geo-politics and subjectivity are central. Each contributor writes from an academic, activist or artistic perspective. Together, they make a compelling case for critical development studies from a uniquely crip perspective. The issue is arranged in four main parts: a roundtable discussion; the articles; an open forum with positioning papers; and book reviews.
