本文为一个关键的全球残疾人类学提供了一个空间，认为残疾不是一种医学上的损伤分类，而是一种关系类别。我认为，残疾人专业知识是残疾人发展和制定的关于非正统配置的机构，文化规范，以及自我，身体和设计的世界之间的关系的特定知识。残疾专门知识是一个描述性领域，也就是说，人种学家可以列举残疾人如何在不同的文化背景下制定人格和道德机构的观察。为了说明我的意思是残疾的专业知识，我从一个对话者的经验，在俄罗斯更广泛的人种学研究期间进行的采访中描述的例子。我阐述了一个特殊的残疾专业领域：管理残疾的看法，特别是非残疾人的倾向，通过痛苦和怜悯的比喻来看待残疾。我呼吁人类学家将残疾人类学称为批判性的跨学科知识生产的空间。
This paper stakes out a space for a critical global disability anthropology that considers disability not as a medicalized classification of impairment but as a relational category. Disability expertise, I argue, is the particular knowledge that disabled people develop and enact about unorthodox configurations of agency, cultural norms, and relationships between selves, bodies, and the designed world. Disability expertise is a descriptive domain, that is, a container into which ethnographers might enumerate observations about how disabled people enact personhood and moral agency in diverse cultural settings. To illustrate what I mean by disability expertise, I draw examples from one interlocutor’s experiences, described in interviews conducted during broader ethnographic research in Russia. I elaborate one particular domain of disability expertise: managing perceptions of disability, especially the tendency of nondisabled people to view disability through the tropes of suffering and pity. I call for anthropologists to claim disability anthropology as a space for critical, interdisciplinary knowledge production.
