Ich kann, also bin ich? Eine Kritik ableistischer Diskriminierung in unserer Gesellschaft

Lecture

Der Vortrag von Dr. Regina Schidel im Rahmen der Goethe Lectures Offenbach analysiert Ableismus aus philosophischer und sozialtheoretischer Perspektive, und zwar exemplarisch am Fall von Menschen mit kognitiven Einschränkungen/geistiger »Behinderung«. Es werden Ursprünge ableistischen Denkens in der philosophischen Tradition entwickelt, in ihrer gesellschaftlichen Funktionalität untersucht und Möglichkeiten befragt, diese zu überwinden – diese stammen etwa aus kritischer und feministischer Theoriebildung.
