'You find out what's important': the crip spacetime of wheelchair users.
Disability studies traditionally emphasise the spatial inequalities experienced by individuals with mobility impairments, whereas contemporary crip studies examine temporal inequities experienced by those with mental or psychological disabilities. Although existing studies on crip temporalities advo...

Although existing studies on crip temporalities advocate alternative temporalities at the theoretical level, they often point to negative aspects of disability at the empirical level. In response to that, this research explores the spatial and temporal experience of individuals with mobility impairment, specifically of wheelchair users with muscular dystrophy. Inspired by Price, we develop the concept of crip spacetime, emphasising the interconnection between the spatial and temporal dimensions of life with disability. The study argues that crip spacetime emerges not only as a critical concept addressing social oppression but also as an emancipatory framework providing alternative, non-normative, emancipatory crip temporalities. Accordingly, the paper examines when a time disadvantage can be compensated for by space and a spatial disadvantage by time. Points of interest: This article looks at how time and space are connected in shaping the experience of disability. We focus on wheelchair users, showing how they manage time challenges by adjusting their use of space, and space challenges by managing their time. We suggest that understanding both time and space together can lead to more empowering ideas about disability than looking at them separately. Our approach shows that disability is not just about limits in time or space, but also includes opportunities. This research comes from Central Europe and offers new insights into disability from a non-Western perspective. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: research Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
