- aggregation abstract "In this chapter, we theorize the impaired subject as social, embodied and non-dualistic. This shift of perspective implies the rejection of framing subjectivity in terms of reproducing the existing political order, and refutes the negative or lack-based definition of bodies that are constituted differently. In this vein, we criticize the politics of mourning and melancholia and the extent to which they dominate social theory, leaving limited scope for alternative theoretical approaches (Braidotti, 2010). In our view, also the disciplinary identity of disability studies has failed to escape full from the collective mourning and melancholia, from the dominant understanding of impairment as loss, deficit, lack, tragedy, and so on. Nevertheless, as soon as we attempt to theorize impairment as social we encounter another tricky snake in the grass. Contemporary social theory still seems dominated by a socially constructivist vision of human embodiment which reduces the body to inert matter shaped by social, cultural and symbolic codes (Braidotti, 2010). It also assumes the primacy of a master code – be it a symbolic signifier, or a linguistically encoded grid of subjectification – which would somehow constitute the ultimate location of power. We oppose this binary and static view of mind-body interaction and propose instead a more dynamic process ontology of embodiment that assumes a vitalist vision. As an alternative to a politics of mourning and melancholia, we argue the case for a politics of affirmation inspired by Deleuze and Guattari’s vitalist materialism, which could also redefine the terms of the debate about impairment and disability. In what follows, we look at the meaning of disability studies as a project of affirmative politics. This implies an exploration of (i) alternative notions of ontology and epistemology, (ii) an expansion of our understanding of subjectivity as embodied, non-dualistic and nomadic, and (iii) a methodology that makes our praxis nomadic and involves another way of forming subjectivity as transversal connections or assemblages with multiple others. Throughout the chapter, we illustrate how we engendered subjectivity as nomadic through engaging with the lives of people labeled as having ‘intellectual disabilities’.".
