ABSTRACT

This paper problematizes, in the spirit of loving critique, the paucity of global intersectional dis/ability politics in the fields of Disability Studies and Critical Race Theory. In this paper, we attempt to account for a more global and humane, liberatory theoretical positioning of Disability Critical Race Theory (DisCrit) by analyzing the human rights discourses employed by the United Nations Convention on the Rights of People with Disabilities (UNCRPD). DisCrit scholars emphasize ‘the social construction of race and ability … which sets one outside of the western cultural norms’. We push DisCrit further to (a) account for the impact of these western cultural norms and ideals in global and local contexts, and (b) problematize how the binary between the Global South-Global North gives impetus for and further reifies the global racist and ableist hegemony of western cultural norms, domination, and violence identified within human rights discourses.

摘要

本文本着爱批评的精神，对残疾研究和批判种族理论领域中全球交叉残疾/能力政治的缺乏提出了问题。在本文中，我们试图通过分析《联合国残疾人权利公约》(UNCRPD) 所采用的人权话语来解释残疾批判种族理论 (DisCrit) 更全球化、更人道、更自由的理论定位。DisCrit 学者强调“种族和能力的社会建构……将其置于西方文化规范之外”。我们进一步推动 DisCrit (a) 解释这些西方文化规范和理想在全球和地方背景下的影响，
