ABSTRACT

Demands for accessibility bring dis/abled bodies and in/accessible infrastructures together in mutually defining encounters. Through the case of accessibility in Berlin’s public transport system, I explore how these encounters figure in practice. Specifically, I present movement through public transport as an object of knowledge and intervention in accompaniment services and advocacy for accessibility. I analyze three forms in which this movement figures: Journeys, Mobility and Flows. Each of these forms delimits bodies and infrastructure in specific ways. Their limits and capacities are thus not self-evident givens, but variously known and negotiated in the critical work of creating and maintaining accessibility.

摘要

对可访问性的需求将残疾/残疾的身体和/可访问的基础设施在相互定义的相遇中结合在一起。通过柏林公共交通系统的可达性案例，我探讨了这些遭遇在实践中的表现。具体来说，我将通过公共交通的运动作为知识和干预伴随服务和倡导无障碍的对象。我分析了这种运动的三种形式：旅程、流动性和流动。这些形式中的每一种都以特定的方式界定了身体和基础设施。因此，它们的限制和能力不是不言而喻的，而是在创建和维护可访问性的关键工作中得到了广泛的了解和协商。
