Abstract | A book, article, or theory might be judged not only by the insightfulness of the claims it makes, but also by the connections, possibilities, and politics that it fosters. By these criteria, Robert McRuer's publications, of which the most widely known is "Crip Theory: Cultural Signs of Queerness and Disability" (2006), are crucial. He weaves together an array of theories, cultural productions, and socio-historical contexts with great care, wit, and generosity. The result is a complex analysis of the role of compulsory able-bodiedness in the context of globalized neoliberal capitalism. McRuer's work is as generative as it is insightful, and as creative as it is political. He provokes his audiences to foster new crip connections, and to explore new crip possibilities and practices, whether academic, artistic, activist, or otherwise. This article presents an interview with Robert McRuer. In the interview, McRuer talks about the crip theory and offers some examples of crip cultural or artistic practice. (ERIC). |
