Campbell, Fiona A. Kumari (2004) The case of Clint Hallam's wayward hand: print media representations of the 'unco-operative' patient. Continuum: Journal of Media and Cultural Studies, 18 (3). pp. 443-458. ISSN 1030-4312
Abstract
This article follows the travails of Clint Hallam and the (re)writing of Clint's `hand' in media discourses. It analyses the convergence of the personal tragedy approach to`disability' with the criminalized `hand' (body). I conclude that far from considering new technologies as neutral isolated objects, the practices, coupling and effects of technologies reassert a new and vigorous biomedicalization of species-typical functioning and ultimately protect domains of ableism from critical review.
