“…As disability, D/deaf, and mad arts and culture flourish, so does crip aesthetic -an aesthetic that emerges from disabled, D/deaf, and mad lived experiences that are valid in and of themselves (Chandler & Rice, 2013, Chandler et al, 2018, bringing into cultural consciousness new and multiple spaces and narratives, orienting audiences to new perspectives and artistic presentations. Erin Ball's performance at "Crip Shorts," a performance event that took place at Cripping the Arts, is an example of a promising crip aesthetic for the plural ways she presented her acrobatic art form with and without different prostheses, with and without a wheelchair.…”

This paper revisits the dynamic discussion about journalism’s role in representing and amplifying disability arts at the 2019 Cripping the Arts Symposium. Chronicling the dialogue of the “Representation” panel which included artists, arts and culture critics, journalists, and scholars, it reveals how arts and culture coverage contributes to the cultivation of disability, D/deaf, and mad art. Given that the relationship between journalism and disability communities continues to be fractured in Canada, speakers were invited to reflect on journalism and disability arts in relation to their own engagement with media as subjects, authors, and critics of disability arts reviews. The methods for presentation were cripped in multiple ways to provide the fullest access possible. The panel concluded with examples of ableist fault lines in representation practices where the disabled figure is an absent “ghost” in journalistic representation, warnings against journalistic reliance on traditional and objective narratives, and a call for artists to claim and write their own stories. Ultimately, disabled, D/deaf, and mad artists need both control over artistic endeavours and output and influence over representation. This article reconnects journalism and disability communities, ultimately demonstrating that representation is a critical, co-constitutive process that can become more aesthetically and politically oriented toward social justice in its focus on disability, D/deaf, and mad arts.

“…Biopedagogies of health attempt to induce youth and others to subscribe to normative ideas about the healthy body, live according to the lifestyles medical science suggests are needed to accomplish that, and engage in continuous self-monitoring (Halse, 2009). As Chandler and Rice (2013) assert biopedagogies encompass “the loose collection of information, advice, and instruction about bodies, psyches, health, and well being […] that works to control people by using praise and shame alongside ‘expert knowledge’ to urge their conformity to mental and physical norms” (p. 231). Biopedagogies are directed toward all people, not just children.…”

In this article, we use the notion of "biopedagogical practices" to explore how Dutch youth respond to health messages that focus on body weight. Previous studies suggest that such health messages encourage body dissatisfaction in youth. Few studies, however, focus on the local/cultural specificity of youth's responses to these biopedagogical practices. In this article, we address questions about the re-interpretation of and resistance to health messages that Dutch youth engage in and how these can be understood in their local context. The data were drawn from two previously conducted studies in which a total of 64 Dutch teenagers (aged 12-18 years) took part. We employed a variety of qualitative data collection methods and a feminist poststructuralist perspective to analyze how Dutch youth negotiate biopedagogical practices about health. The results show that our participants constructed health in terms of appearance and reproduced negative constructions regarding fat embodiment. Yet they also often circumvented "healthy" lifestyle behaviors prescribed by biopedagogies of health. They did so first by avoiding physical activities because they were afraid of displaying fat embodiment in the settings of sport and physical education where surveillance is omnipresent. Second, they disregarded advice about healthy eating by drawing on having fun as an alternative discursive resource. We argue that having fun is both part of youth culture and characteristic of the discourse about sociability ( gezelligheid) that is a central element of Dutch culture.

Les expériences des personnes crip et folles, tout comme les disciplines qui abordent ces enjeux, soit la théorie crip et les études de la folie, ont rarement été réunies de manière synthétisée. Dans cet article, je mets en relation la théorie crip et les études de la folie pour en explorer les similitudes, les intersections et les points de départ. L’article commence par un examen des expériences de vie similaires entre les corps crip et les corps fous. Nous abordons entre autres l’isolement familial, la honte, la culpabilité et l’essentialisme, les stéréotypes et la discrimination, les expériences et les taux de violence, le pouvoir des étiquettes de diagnostic ainsi que les phénomènes de « passing » et de « coming-out ». Ensuite, la discussion se tourne vers les chevauchements théoriques entre la théorie crip et les études de la folie, notamment l’essentialisme (stratégique) versus le constructionnisme, l’opposition aux normes, la subversion et la transgression comme outils politiques et la problématisation des binarités. L’article se conclut par une réflexion sur la combinaison des deux écoles de pensée afin de soutenir la création de stratégies collectives et par une interrogation sur les méthodologies politiques axées sur la centralisation des dialogues autour des théories crip (cripping) et de la folie (maddening).
