Heidegger and the Politics of Disablement

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Chapter 3 reconsiders disability studies' founding concern with medicine through Heidegger's phenomenology. I suggest Heidegger's reframing of truth as disclosedness, or the Greek Aletheia , lets us reframe these concerns along his fundamental ontology. After outlining Heidegger's understanding of truth, I review the relevant literature, looking to the social model of disability, other phenomenological approaches, and similar, but more recent, interpretive perspectives. I suggest that medicalization not only refers to medical practices, but models that see disability only in terms of restricted function. I make sense of this using the case of rehabilitation science, and three measures employed therein. Two are numerical measures; the interview is the third. I end by discussing future work in rehabilitation.Both critical disability studies and the rehabilitation sciences share a common object of critique: the so-called medical model of disability. They differ, however, on what exactly that model is. Classical disability studies -most prominently the British social model (Barnes 2000 ; Oliver 1986 )-understand the medical model as one that frames all problems of Medicalization 46 T. ABRAMS

“…Before we move on, a caveat: I do not mean to suggest that this brief summary reflects the entirety of Titchkosky's phenomenological contributions (an example: for a critical account of disability's place in the phenomenological lebenswelt, see Titchkosky & Michalko, 2012). It does, however, situate her work suitably in respect to my main goal, a phenomenological exegesis of the T2201 form.…”

Being-towards-death and Taxes: Heidegger, Disability and the Ontological Difference

Phenomenological disability studies seek to bridge the gap between the personal experience and cultural production of disability. This paper illustrates the manner in which the everyday experience of disability is shaped into a coherent object within the Canadian federal income tax regime. The Canada Revenue Agency's T2201 Disability Tax Credit Certificate is an essential component in this regard, allowing successful applicants access to tax credits and other programs aimed at offsetting the costs of impairment faced by disabled Canadians. This paper employs Martin Heidegger's notion of the ontological difference-the distinction between beings as merely present objects and Being as human experience-to highlight some of the difficulties faced translating human experience into bureaucratic categories. The argument proceeds as follows. First, the paper reviews the existing phenomenological disability studies literature and reviews the relevant work of Martin Heidegger. Next, the T2201 form is introduced and discussed in light of the ontological difference. By viewing disability as a merely present being, and not a way of Being, a great deal of experience is left out-especially that of exclusion. The paper concludes by highlighting the dividends of the second section, both in terms of future tax forms, and the future of disability studies.
