在批判性残疾研究中，残疾身体已不仅仅是一种“缺席的存在”。残疾理论通过社会模型论者、实在论者、现象学家、精神分析学家和后习俗主义者之间的争论，探讨了一种原始的身体恐惧症。我们简要追溯这些争论，然后本文考虑对非规范性受损身体的两种解读。通过关注残疾儿童的身体体现故事，我们思考他们的身体表现出某些形式的“泄漏、过度、缺失或移位”的时刻。我们的第一种解读“残疾”，采用社会精神分析的视角，提醒我们注意残疾身体作为缺失的文化构成。我们的第二种解读“可能性”，采取后习俗主义的立场，将残疾身体视为积极要求富有想象力的理论和实践回应的对象。我们旨在探索受损身体如何能被当作一个独特的具身实体来接纳，通过它来修正身体应该以及能够如何被体验。我们希望理解这些双重平行的过程能让我们将残疾和可能性作为残疾差异的关键要素结合在一起。
The disabled body has come to occupy more than an 'absent presence' in critical disability studies. Disability theory has addressed an original somatophobia through debates between social modellists, realists, phenomenologists, psychoanalysts and postconventionalists. We briefly trace these debates and then the present article considers two readings of non-normative impaired bodies. Through a focus on the embodiment stories of disabled children we consider those times when their bodies demonstrate some forms of 'leakage, excess, lack or displacement'. Our first reading, 'disability', adopts a social psychoanalytic lens to alert us to the cultural constitution of the disabled body as lack. Our second reading, 'possability', adopts a postconventionalist stance and considers the disabled body as productively demanding imaginative theoretical and practical responses. We aim to explore the ways in which the impaired body can be embraced as a unique embodied entity through which to revise how bodies should and could be lived in. Our hope is that understanding these dual parallel processes allows us to keep together disability and possability as key elements of the difference of disability.
