An expansive volume presenting crip approaches to writing,
research, and publishing Crip Authorship: Disability as Method is a
comprehensive volume presenting the multidisciplinary methods
brought into being by disability studies and activism. Mara Mills
and Rebecca Sanchez have convened leading scholars, artists, and
activists to explore how disability shapes authorship, transforming
cultural production, aesthetics, and media. Starting from the
premise that disability is plural and authorship is an ongoing
project, this collection of thirty-five compact essays asks how
knowledge about disability is produced and shared in disability
studies. Crip authorship takes place within and beyond the
commodity version of authorship, in books, on social media, and in
creative works that will never be published. Crip authorship
celebrates people, experiences, and methods that have been
obscured; it also involves protest and dismantling. It can mean
innovating around accessibility or attending to the false starts,
dead ends, and failures resulting from mis-fit and oppression. The
chapters draw on the expertise of international researchers and
activists in the humanities, social sciences, education, arts, and
design. Across five sections—Writing, Research, Genre/Form,
Publishing, Media—contributors consider disability as method for
creative work: practices of writing and other forms of composition;
research methods and collaboration; crip aesthetics; media formats
and hacks; and the capital, access, legal standing, and care
networks required to publish. Designed to be accessible and
engaging for students, Crip Authorship also provides theoretically
sophisticated arguments in a condensed form that will make the text
a key resource for disability studies scholars. Essays include Mel
Y Chen on the temporality of writing with chronic illness; Remi
Yergeau on perseveration; La Marr Jurelle Bruce on the wisdom in
mad Black rants; Alison Kafer on the reliance of the manifesto
genre on conceptualizations of disability; Jaipreet Virdi on public
scholarship for disability justice; Ellen Samuels on the importance
of disability and illness to autotheory; Xuan Thuy Nguyen on
decolonial research methods for disability studies; Emily Lim
Rogers on virtual ethnography; Cameron Awkward-Rich on depression
and trans reading methods; Robert McRuer on crip theory in
translation; Kelsie Acton on plain language writing; and Georgina
Kleege on description as an access technique.
