Performing the Pain: Opening the (Crip) Body for (Queer) Pleasures
نویسنده
چکیده
Abstract: With a view to interdisciplinary dialogue(s) between queer theory and disability studies, this article discusses the work of Bob Flanagan and his partner Sheree Rose. Specifically, it focuses on their queer S/M practices as a strategy of negotiating disability/pain, but also as a practice redefining notions of (disabled) embodiment. It also discusses Flanagan and Rose’s queer/crip politics as an opening for “desiring disability.”

We propose a ‘queering’ of aging futures that disrupts the ways that expectations of a good later life and happy aging are seen to adhere to some bodies and subjectivities over others. Drawing on feminist, queer, an...
متن کاملPurification and properties of rat cysteine-rich intestinal protein.
Cysteine-rich intestinal protein (CRIP) is a zinc-binding protein where the binding domain is in the so-called LIM double zinc finger motif. Methods are described for the preparation of CRIP from rat small intestine. Gel-filtration and ion-exchange chromatography and preparative PAGE gave homogeneous CRIP, based upon analytical PAGE, mass spectrometry and microsequencing. Initial localization o...
متن کاملLipopolysaccharide regulates cysteine-rich intestinal protein, a zinc-finger protein, in immune cells and plasma.
Cysteine-rich intestinal protein (CRIP), a double zinc-finger LIM protein, is expressed in great abundance in the intestine. We have found comparable levels of CRIP mRNA in peritoneal macrophages, peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC), and lesser amounts in thymus and spleen. Because CRIP expression was high in immune cells, rats were challenged with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) to determine wh...
