Disability and Activism: The Performative Power of Protest

Summary/Abstract: The article explores the British and American tradition of disability activism, which has constituted a political force since the 1970s. The focus is on the performativity of protest activities, from demonstrations to sit-ins, and the notion of visibility which is crucial for achieving both political goals and for the emergence of a new positive group identity for people with disabilities. The strategies that activists use to break conventional medical and charitable representations of disability are presented through notable examples such as the 504 sit-in, Capitol Crawl, demonstrations on accessible transport and Stop Telethon.
