Paradoksy widzialności: o związkach teorii queer ze studiami o niepełnosprawności

The article foregrounds the category of visibility to examine the relation between disabilitystudies and queer theory. The text posits that changing social conditions of visibility is crucial for non-heteronormative people and people with disabilities. The analysis takes from “foundational” books for both disciplines: Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick’s Epistemology of the Closet and Rosemarie Garland-Thomson’s Extraordinary Bodies: Figuring Physical Disability in American Culture and Literature, along with other texts by leading queer and disability studies scholars, such as Lauren Berlant, Tobin Siebers, or Susan Schweik.
