Affecting, Emoting, and Feeling Disability: Entanglements at the
Intersection of Disability Studies and the Sociology of Emotions

Edited by Yvonne Wechuli, Marie Sepulchre and Kelly Fritsch
Deadline for Abstracts: 15 November 2023 | Deadline for Articles: 15
March 2024

Frontiers in Sociology, peer-reviewed journal indexed in PubMed Central
(PMC), Scopus, Google Scholar, DOAJ, CrossRef, Web of Science Emerging
Sources Citation Index (ESCI), CLOCKSS, ERIH PLUS, welcomes new and
exciting research papers for its upcoming issue “Affecting, Emoting, and
Feeling Disability: Entanglements at the Intersection of Disability
Studies and the Sociology of Emotions” edited by Yvonne Wechuli
(University of Cologne), Marie Sépulchre (Lund University), and Kelly
Fritsch (Carleton University).

This special issue explores theorizing on disability and emotion as one
frontier of the Sociology of Emotions as it intersects with Disability
Studies. While the Sociology of Emotions has only engaged with
disability in limited ways so far, emancipatory knowledge produced about
disability within the broad field of Disability Studies (including
fields like Mad Studies, Deaf Studies, and Critical Autism Studies)
provides a rich archive of emotional first-hand accounts of feelings and
affective relations such as joy, pride, shame, disgust, and fear that
are often undertheorised. Importantly, the fields of Sociology of
Emotions and Disability Studies understand their central topics as
primarily social, cultural, political, and ecological phenomena,
challenging their conceptualization as natural, individual, or as
limited to the realm of the human. By bringing both fields into
conversation with one another, this special issue aims to deepen our
understanding of emotions, feelings, and affect related to disability.

This special issue welcomes mutual inspiration and cross-fertilization
of sociological and disability studies theorizing on emotions and
disability, focusing on questions of ontology, epistemology,
performativity, and the more-than-human. Questions of ontology ask what
disability and disabled emotions, feelings, and affect are. Such
questions draw attention to the emotions, feelings, and affect that are
triggered by experiences of, encounters with, and discourses about
disability. Epistemological questions focus on how we know emotions,
feelings, and affect through, with, and about disability. Questions of
performativity inquire what emotions, feelings, and affect do, such as
tracing the toll of living in a dis/ableist society or the multifaceted
ways dis/ableism unfolds via affect, feeling, and emotion. Attending to
the material impacts marks emotions, feelings, and affect about, with,
on, and through disability as a social, cultural, and political
endeavour. Questions of the more-than-human draw attention to the ways
emotions, feelings, and affect produce, maintain, alter, or dismantle
notions of disability, such as with disabled habitats, infrastructures,
animals, and more. This has deep implications for the survival and
thriving of disabled people, practices of disability justice, and
nuanced engagements with the more-than-human, including disabled
animals, ecologies, and environments.

We welcome a range of formats for papers including review articles,
conceptual papers, research papers, and contributions that creatively
and critically investigate disability and emotion. Interdisciplinary
research, co-authored submissions, and submissions from those with lived
experience of disability are particularly welcome. Possible themes of
accepted papers could include engagement with:
• Ableism/ Disableism;
• Affective politics of disability culture, economies, ecologies;
• Ambivalence;
• Crip, Mad, Neurodivergent, Deaf, Chronic, approaches to affect,
emotions, or feelings;
• Disabling emotions (e.g. fear, shame, mourning, pity, inspiration,
disgust);
• Disability joy, pride;
• Disability justice;
• Novel epistemological and methodological approaches to knowing
emotion, feeling, affect, and disability;
• Cross-fertilizations with feminist theory, queer theory, critical race
theory, Indigenous thought.

The deadline for submission is 15 November 2023. Frontiers’ fast-track
review process means each article is published online as soon as it’s
been successfully peer-reviewed and accepted (typically within 61 days).
