Embodying disabled liminality: A matter of mal/adjustment to dis/ableism.

This article combines the line of work that links disability and liminality with feminist dis/ability studies to analyse how the 'disabled body-subject' is produced and subjectified during hospitalisation and post-hospitalisation. This analysis is based on six bodily itineraries conducted with three men and three women with a spinal cord injury (five with tetraplegia and one with paraplegia) acquired during their adolescence. First, we interpret hospitalisation as a phase of 'acute liminality' in which the disabled body-subject starts being produced as suspicious, expropriated and de/gendered.
