障害学における唯物論の再検討――障害のポリティクスをめぐる批判的想像力に向けて――

抄録

The purpose of this paper is a theoretical examination of materialism in disability studies. Materialism is an important theoretical starting point for disability studies. Therefore, materialism in disability studies was seen as the source of disability studies’ imagination to grasp disability as social oppression and the cause of disability studies’ dismissal of difference. After reviewing the materialist assumptions of disability studies, this paper examines the critique of the materialist assumptions of disability studies and the response to the critique of poststructuralism by materialist disability studies. The theoretical foundations that open the critical imagination of a new disability politics are explored through this work.
