" ... disability is a reading of bodily particularities in the context of social power relations … [an] attribution of corporeal deviance - not so much a property of bodies as a product of cultural rules about what bodies should be or do".
Rosemary Garland Thomson (1997) Extraordinary Bodies, New York, Columbia University Press, p. 6.

Foucault
Disability Discussion List 
Whilst there are several other academic/theoretical lists concerning the construction of 'disability', this list has been established specifically to focus/debate/dialogue around the application of the Michel Foucault's work to the theorisation/problematisation of 'disability'. The purview of the list is restricted to a discussion of theorists broadly situated within the Foucauldian tradition, e.g. Grosz, Latour, Law and Butler. This list is intended to be interdisciplinary and open to all irrespective of scholastic status. Students are particularly welcome. Aside from the benefits of increased dialogue and networking around Foucault's formulations, the list hopes to foster increased circulation/publication of material concerning 'disability' using Foucauldian methodologies.

Techno-Eugenic Email Newsletter : This newsletter stems from the work of academics, activists, and others in the San Francisco Bay Area who are concerned about the direction of the new human genetic technologies. We support technologies that serve the public interest. We oppose those--including human germ-line engineering and human cloning--that foster inequality, discrimination, objectification, and the commodification of human genes and tissues.
