“…Medical and legal expertise comingle in this case to decide if a rape has “really” occurred, the evidence of which must involve a factual discovery via biological samples that objectify the victim's body (White and Du Mont ). The very “intelligibility of woman's bodily boundaries” is held in question as part of the legal process (Hengehold ), which suggests the importance of this type of court legibility for persons with disabilities. In these ways, the court requires the displacement of the sufferer's subjectivity through its standards of evidence, creating what Gordon (:6) calls “the law's regime of objects.”…”

Custodial Citizenship in the Omnibus Autism Proceeding

In contemporary processes of citizenship, parents and other caregivers often must make claims to the state on behalf of children with disabilities. In this article, we draw from data on the Omnibus Autism Proceedings (OAP), which were a series of hearings in 2007 and 2008 in which parents of children with autism attempted to receive compensation from a federal program for vaccine injury. During these hearings, parents and their attorneys obfuscated the children's subjectivity and instead showcased the children's physical suffering in order to claim that their children had suffered a legitimate injury from vaccines that warranted compensation. We develop the concept of custodial citizenship to account for the process by which a legible rights‐bearing subject appropriates the bodily suffering of the injured party in order to gain citizenship rights on behalf of that individual. In doing so, we trace the slippages of harm that occur in the lived experience of disability among family members and caregivers, in contrast to the individualizing rights‐granting framework of the court system.

“…When a "responsible woman" is raped, she is typically depicted as a "fallen angel" or a "worthy victim" (Laura Hengehold 2001). However, if a woman is not cautious or goes against even one of the "precautions," she is often portrayed as either somewhat responsible for the rape or "asking for it.…”

“…Broucek (1991) argues that it is the notion of transference and the asymmetrical nature of the therapistclient relationship that frequently induces shame within the therapeutic relationship, both for the client and for the therapist. Foucault, speaking to the power imbalance inherent in this relational asymmetry, refers to the use of confessional technology by therapists as reifying the power dynamics that subject the client to the scrutiny of disciplinary surveillance (Foucault, 1982;Hengehold, 2000;Hook, 2004). Such an understanding of the power dynamics underlying the therapist-client research has propelled the emotional turn in feminist reflexive practice that emphasizes the dangerously fine line between care and control (Burman, 2006) or "speaking the truth [as] a means to incorporate subjects within disciplinary practices" (Flax, 2004, p. 907).…”

Despite the psychically toxic nature of shame, it has historically been under-researched and under-theorized. However, a recent burgeoning of literature has brought an increasing awareness of shame as a pathogenic force. An investigation of this noxious affect is especially pertinent in the context of feminist qualitative research. The authors consider the significant effect of shame on a specific dialogue that unfolded with a female survivor of rape in Cape Town. The analysis tracks the ubiquitous manifestations of shame between researcher and researched and reveals how shame was unavoidably generated, exacerbated, and maintained within the intersubjective field. What is highlighted is a need to reflexively locate the emotion within the racialized, gendered, and institutionalized relationships. Such a consideration would arguably provide invaluable insights for psychological research and practice as it pays critical attention to positionality, reflexivity, and the power relationships inherent in the production of knowledge.
