Abstract
ZEREGA, María Mercedes; ROMAN, Carlos Tutivén and BUJANDA, Héctor. Becoming Disabled: New Monsters, Cyborgs, and Displaced People in Contemporary Capitalism. Nómadas [online]. 2020, n.52, pp.149-165. ISSN 0121-7550. https://doi.org/10.30578/nomadas.n52a9.
This article posits an approach to the concept of disability by expanding the field of analysis to the effects that transhumanism, the society of efficiency, and accidents or catastrophes -social, economic, political, technological- leave on bodies, which open the space to think other modes of subjectivity associated with vulnerability. It argues that becoming disabled is presented to us, then, as the new horizon from which to think the ethical, social, and political forms of resistance in the present.
