“…3 On the recent attempt to move disability studies beyond the confines of Anglo-American contexts see the journal issues edited by Murray and Barker (2010) and Mitchell and Snyder (2010). 4 Disability in Spanish film has also been addressed by Conway (2000Conway ( , 2001; Marr (2009Marr ( , 2013; Minich (2010Minich ( , 2014; and Prout (2008); see also Discapacidades humanas (2010); Ferreira (2008); Fraser (2013a); Gámez Fuentes (2005); and Hirtz (2009).

“…Recent editions by Hispanic studies scholars have attempted to broaden the global scope of Anglophone study of disability: Susan Antebi's Carnal Inscriptions: Spanish American Narratives of Corporeal Difference and Disability (2009), Matthew Marr's The Politics of Age and Disability in Contemporary Spanish Film (2013), Encarnación Juárez-Almendros's special section of the Arizona Journal of Hispanic Cultural Studies titled "Disability Studies in the Hispanic World: Proposals and Methodologies" (2013), Julie Avril Minich's Accessible Citizenships: Disability, Nation, and the Cultural Politics of Greater Mexico (2014), and Susan Antebi and Beth Jörgensen's Libre Acceso: Latin American Literature and Film through Disability Studies (2016), for example. Such editions have of course built on a range of pioneering essay-length contributions in Hispanic studies (e.g., Conway 2000Conway , 2001Gámez Fuentes 2005;Juárez Almendros 2010;Marr 2009;Minich 2010;Prout 2008;Rivera-Cordero 2009, 2013b) -a tradition I hope will receive greater attention within disability studies proper.…”

Three book-length publications are arguably the foundational contributions to the study of physical disability representations in the aesthetic realm: Martin Norden's Cinema of Isolation: A History of Physical Disabilities in the Movies (1994), which traces the centrality of disabled characters in one hundred years of American film; David Mitchell and Sharon Snyder's innovative and foundational Narrative Prosthesis: Disability and the Dependencies of Discourse (2000), which privileges the nuances of literary disability representation; and Tobin Siebers's Disability Aesthetics (2010), which brought a similarly innovative thesis to bear on visual art forms, prioritizing painting and sculpture. Norden writes that "the history of physical disability images in the movies has mostly been a history of distortion in the name of maintaining an ableist society" (1994: 314). Mitchell and Snyder's book "argues that images of disabled people abound in history" (2000: 52) and that "once a reader begins to seek out representations of disability in our literatures, it is difficult to avoid their proliferation in texts with which one believed oneself to be utterly familiar" (2000: 52). Siebers's argument asserts that in painting and sculpture, the presence of disability is the element that has allowed "the beauty of an artwork to endure over time" (2010: 5). The representation of disability is, each text argues in its own way, thus central to the aesthetic histories of these directions in human cultural production. Often under-acknowledged as such in both literary and visual art, physical disability has long been clothed in the normative trappings of an able-bodied society and mobilized to suit a range of symbolic, metaphorical, and perhaps even purportedly transcendent artistic purposes. Preface xvii in their present form they have been greatly revised and elaborated.

“Transgender rights are the civil rights issue of our time.” So stated Vice President Joe Biden just one week before the November 2012 election. This article critically reframes calls such as this by foregrounding a historical trajectory not celebrated by national LGBT groups or media or explicitly theorized in most queer or trans theory: the move from the 1990 Americans with Disabilities Act to the present moment of trans hailing by the US state. Such a trajectory helps map the ways that neoliberal mandates regarding productive, capacitated bodies entrain the trans body to recreate an abled body not only in terms of gender and sexuality but also in terms of economic productivity and the economic development of national economy. Rather than argue for a better form of discretion between the categories of trans and disability, this article analyzes the ontological irreducibilities of such categories, irreducibilities that dissolve them through multiplicity. In following the implications of such an argument, this article unfolds trans and disability studies' concerns within a broader analysis of the geopolitics of racial ontology.
