Abstract:In providing an autoethnography of the author's own reproductive failures while working as a librarian, this paper considers the ways in which neoliberalism maps disability onto non-(re)productive bodies thought to be outside the realm of individual control. The author calls upon feminist disability theory to surface themes of embodiment and relationality and to unearth the unrecognized labor of reproductive failure. Suggesting that library and information studies would do well to take seriously all sorts of "failures," the author recommends that we turn to archives of failure; doing so would allow for a richer and more nuanced exploration of how neoliberalism casts some bodies and minds as "normal" and others as not, and makes the necessary space to, rather than celebrate the triumphant, recognize the failed.

生殖衰竭和信息工作：一部民族志

摘要：在为作者担任图书馆馆员时提供作者自身的生殖衰竭的民族志时，本文考虑了新自由主义将残疾映射到个人控制范围之外的非（生殖）生产体的方式。作者呼吁女权主义残疾理论浮出水面的体现和关系的主题，并发掘出无法识别的生殖衰竭劳动。认为图书馆和信息研究可以很好地处理各种“故障”，作者建议我们转向故障档案。这样做可以使人们对新自由主义如何将某些身心投掷为“正常”而将其他身心投掷为“正常”，并为而不是为胜利者庆祝而承认失败者留出必要的空间，进行更丰富，更细致的探索。
