Le concept de vulnérabilité et l’inclusion politique des personnes ayant une déficience intellectuelle
Publication date: Available online 4 May 2019Source: AlterAuthor(s): Bernard Gagnon, Olivier Clément-Sainte-MarieRésuméLes réformes du système électoral dans les démocraties libérales ont permis aux personnes ayant une déficience intellectuelle, historiquement dépouillées de leur citoyenneté, d’exercer leurs droits politiques. S’inspirant du contenu de la Convention relative aux droits des personnes handicapées (2008), de nombreux gouvernements nationaux ont étendu le principe de l’inclusion universelle au droit de vote aux personnes ayant une déficience intellectuelle, et ce, malgré certaines résist...

Paradigmes et expériences pour une sémiotisation des sensations vibrotactiles
This article presents a conceptual reflection on the conditions of possibility of the experience of vibrations in the field of music, at the intersection of bodily, psychosocial, technological and semiotic mediations. Based on three exploratory experiences, this study aims to articulate a psychological and semiotic approach to sensory experience with scientific and technological advances in the fields of acoustics and music. Vibrations are studied as a potential “sensory feedback” and “information channel” for intersubjective communication in the shared musical experience by disabled and non-disabled people. The mu...

Ableism and disablism in higher education: The case of two students living with chronic illnesses
This article offers a contribution to understanding how both disablism (the direct experiences of exclusion and discrimination faced by disabled people) and ableism (the norms and codes that shape our understanding of dis/ability) can manifest in the lives of students attending Higher Education. I use two case studies to illustrate how ableism and disablism manifest in particular ways. This is based in my research with people living with chronic illnesses in England and Portugal. I argue that being attentive to the conditions that produce barriers and exclusion for people living with chronic illnesses attending Higher Educ...

Encouraging real or make-believe citizen-workers? Narratives of self-realization versus disabling support-to-work contexts by individuals with High Functioning Autism
The objective of this paper is to analyse how narratives targeting ambitions and self-realisation in work life are expressed by individuals with HFA in relation to the citizen-worker discourse. This ethnographic study comprises 26 qualitative interview narratives by 11 participants with HFA. Findings indicate that the participants have developed a strong citizen-worker identity. The will is an essential point of gravity, expressed through notions of individual meaningfulness and ambitions of being perceived as resources in any vocational context. Barriers to these ambitions are experienced as personally counteractive suppo...

Personal assistance provided within the family can be seen as a hybridization between publicly regulated and paid work performed in the private family sphere, and thus conflicting norms and practices may coexist. In Sweden, family members of the assistant user can be employed as paid personal assistants. Many users comb...
