Alexis Shotwell: Against Purity (2016) 4 stars

The world is in a terrible mess. It is toxic, irradiated, and full of injustice. …

In this chapter, I argue that speculative fantasizing about disability futures can attune us to the possibilities for imagining worlds not identical to the world we’re currently in. We can pursue SF modes, to follow LaBare’s terms, that open practices of what Angela Davis calls identifying into a new world, shaping ourselves toward that world such that we call it into being as a prefigurative practice. I argue that we can do this however we are currently identified in terms of disability.
