Key Points

Disability shapes our understanding of meaning and representation, and it invites a rethinking of rhetoric.
Key insights from Robert McRuer and Jay Dolmage highlight the need for rhetoric to engage deeply with the complexities of disability.
The interplay between disability and rhetoric offers new paths for dialogue and understanding the body in discourse.
This analysis may enhance academic discourse, calling for collaborative exploration between disability studies and rhetoric.

Abstract

"We might say that disability refers to the open mesh of possibilities, gaps, overlaps, dissonances and resonances, lapses and excesses of meaning when the constituent elements of bodily, mental, or behavioral functioning aren’t made (or can’t be made) to signify monolithically." — Robert McRuer, Crip Theory: Cultural Signs of Queerness and Disability "Rhetoric needs disability studies as a reminder to pay critical and careful attention to the body. Disability studies needs rhetoric to better understand and negotiate the ways that discourse represents and impacts the experience of disability." —Jay Dolmage, Disability Rhetoric
