BUSTOS GARCIA, Brenda Araceli. Ableism and Neo-Repression: Tabooization of Touch and Aggression on Sensitivities. Nómadas [online]. 2020, n.52, pp.29-43. ISSN 0121-7550.  https://doi.org/10.30578/nomadas.n52a2.

The article analyses the ways in which touch is tabooized. This represents the beginning of an escalation of practices that normalize forms of repression, which its most critical expression is to punish those who make use of this sense: blind people. Hence, the paper posits the intersection between disability and necropolitics as forms of neo-repression structuring the daily life of ableist societies. Among some of the conclusions, it presents how the "do not touch!" imperative becomes an order obeyed throughout life.

Palabras clave : Blindness; Neo-Repression; Sensitivities; Contemporary Warfare; Ableism; Tactile Experience.
