ABSTRACT
By highlighting and unfolding the concept ‘inclusive differences’ of dis/ability this last chapter of Rethinking Disability suggests that disability is the outcome of historically specifi c, embodied human and non-human confi gurations fabricated within the conduct of everyday life. Inclusive differences question the attempt given by exclusive perspectives (modern religions as it were) that try to divide analytically, conceptually, or politically ‘disability’ a priori into an individual (natural) bodily impairment or a purely socio-cultural attributed disability. Applying the concept of inclusive differences, the domain of neither ‘nature’ nor ‘society’ can function as a disability’s self-explanatory force. Rather, inclusive differences highlight the connection between human and non-human relations that make up the different enabling and/or disabling scenarios of societal realities.
