Journal Article
Remapping Disability through Contested Urban Landscapes and Embodied Performances
2021
Overview
[...]the Blackness of “Modern Choreomanias” becomes synonymous with disability, disease, unsoundness, madness, and disorder (illustrating Freud’s “return to the repressed”). [...]probing the embodied knowledge of such repertoire contributes to decolonizing the ways in which the mainstream obscures and devalues Afro-diasporic performatic repertoire, intangible traditions, 14 and embodied knowledge pertaining to the global south. [All] become a single flowing movement of people unified in the rhythm … creating relationships that would not otherwise be possible in everyday life, which is dominated by the moral economy of the postindustrial city. 19 In New Orleans, racial disparities indicate that Blacks are more impacted by low income, poverty, including limited access to employment and health care. 20 Racist policing of Black bodies is also prevalent in New Orleans, where the murder rate is one of the highest in the country (200 murders in 2001; 175 in 2016; 196 in 2020). [...]racial disparities in New Orleans indicate that Blacks are more impacted by disabilities (higher than the national average). [...]Santoro gives value to an embodied repertoire that bears physical, psychological, and structural pain.
