Voices of Silence: Foucault, Disability, and the Question of Self-determination.
Erevelles, Nirmala
Studies in Philosophy and Education, v21 n1 p17-35 Jan 2002
Examines two controversial issues: Foucault's analysis of a French murder case and the debate surrounding facilitated communication and autism in the United States. Asks whether persons identified as mentally disabled are capable of representing themselves. Uses a materialist analysis to explore the implications that the poststructuralist depiction of the humanist subject as a fiction holds for both issues. (Contains 31 references.) (AUTH/NB)
