This special issue explores theorizing on disability and emotion as one
frontier of the Sociology of Emotions as it intersects with Disability
Studies. While the Sociology of Emotions has only engaged with disability in
limited ways so far, emancipatory knowledge produced about disability within
the broad field of Disability Studies (including fields like Mad Studies,
Deaf Studies, and Critical Autism Studies) provides a rich archive of
emotional first-hand accounts of feelings and affective relations such as
joy, pride, shame, disgust, and fear that are often undertheorised.
Importantly, the fields of Sociology of Emotions and Disability Studies
understand their central topics as primarily social, cultural, political,
and ecological phenomena, challenging their conceptualization as natural,
individual, or as limited to the realm of the human. By bringing both fields
into conversation with one another, this special issue aims to deepen our
understanding of emotions, feelings, and affect related to disability.
This special issue welcomes mutual inspiration and cross-fertilization of
sociological and disability studies theorizing on emotions and disability,
focusing on questions of ontology, epistemology, performativity, and the
more-than-human. Questions of ontology ask what disability and disabled
emotions, feelings, and affect are. Such questions draw attention to the
emotions, feelings, and affect that are triggered by experiences of,
encounters with, and discourses about disability. Epistemological questions
focus on how we know emotions, feelings, and affect through, with, and about
disability. Questions of performativity inquire what emotions, feelings, and
affect do, such as tracing the toll of living in a dis/ableist society or
the multifaceted ways dis/ableism unfolds via affect, feeling, and emotion.
Attending to the material impacts marks emotions, feelings, and affect
about, with, on, and through disability as a social, cultural, and political
endeavour. Questions of the more-than-human draw attention to the ways
emotions, feelings, and affect produce, maintain, alter, or dismantle
notions of disability, such as with disabled habitats, infrastructures,
animals, and more. This has deep implications for the survival and thriving
of disabled people, practices of disability justice, and nuanced engagements
with the more-than-human, including disabled animals, ecologies, and
environments.
We welcome a range of formats for papers including review articles,
conceptual papers, research papers, and contributions that creatively and
critically investigate disability and emotion. Interdisciplinary research,
co-authored submissions, and submissions from those with lived experience of
disability are particularly welcome. Possible themes of accepted papers
could include engagement with:
Ableism/ Disableism;
Affective politics of disability culture, economies, ecologies;
Ambivalence;
Crip, Mad, Neurodivergent, Deaf, Chronic, approaches to affect, emotions,
or feelings;
Disabling emotions (e.g. fear, shame, mourning, pity, inspiration,
disgust);
Disability joy, pride;
Disability justice;
Novel epistemological and methodological approaches to knowing emotion,
feeling, affect, and disability;
Cross-fertilizations with feminist theory, queer theory, critical race
theory, Indigenous thought.
The deadline for submission is 15 November 2023. Frontiers fast-track
review process means each article is published online as soon as its been
successfully peer-reviewed and accepted (typically within 61 days).
