Disability's Affect: Or, Refugees, Communication and Community
journal contribution
posted on 2023-05-16, 19:10 authored by Goggin, G, Newell, CJCultural theorists have given much attention recently to the notion of 'affect', yet such discussions have not seriously, if at all, raised the question of disability. However we would suggest that disability has very strong relationships with affect. In this paper we argue for the importance of rethinking affect and communication from the perspective of a critical, socio-political account of disability. To illustrate this, we look at affect and disability in two important cases of refugees in Australia.
