This uncoupling may help explain the expressions of alienation from the actions of one’s body which recur in the autobiographical autism literature. Multi-modal/cross-modal coordination of different types of sensory information into coherent events may be difficult to achieve because amodal properties (e.g., rhythm and tempo) that help unite perceptions are unreliable.

In addition, data about the wider context was obtained through interviews, visits, observations and focus group discussions. Despite the extraordinarily difficult context, education was found to be highly valued and Palestinian educators, parents and decision–makers had achieved impressive progress.

  • An Ethico-Aesthetics of Imagination
    Racing Toward Uncertainty: an Ethico-Aesthetics of Imagination Jack Kahn Pomona College: Claremont, California Abstract In this paper, I examine imagination as a performative expression using an ethico-aesthetic paradigm (which I take from Baruch Spinoza and Félix Guattari) which accounts for the ways, affects, as ethical orientations toward the world, participate in creative world-making amidst conditions of social and political entrapment. Using William James’ notion of “medical materialism” as a critical tool, I turn to the work and life of South Asian autistic poet Tito Mukhopadhyay to trouble the ways critical discourse understands ‘autism’. These are namely as a signifier for particular reductive perceptuo-aesthetic relations (an understanding I find in the work of Erin Manning), in order to re-conceive how disability politics might resist and restructure totalizing systems of global domination without referring to rights or identity claims. Keywords/Terms Disability, autism, ethico-aesthetics, affect, world-making, imagination, medical materialism, embodiment, perception, neuro-reductionism, performativity, entrapment, crisis Correspondence information: [email protected] Introduction: On Autism and Ethico-Aesthetics Discourse frequently describes autism as an “enigma.” But what would it mean for one to live within enigma, for one’s body to be cast as a riddle, a puzzle, a question? To think through autism would compel not simply an analysis of its construction within discourse, but an analysis of what it means to be immersed within and to respond to the realities and entrapments created by the interactions between the cultural and the embodied. That which “autism” signifies exceeds its definition by diagnostic criteria, which comprehends autistic difference as a pervasive social and developmental pathology that disables those who embody it.

  • Autistic Sociality 69
    Journal of the Society for Psychological Anthropology AUTISTIC SOCIALITY 69 Autistic Sociality Elinor Ochs Olga Solomon Abstract This article is based on our decade-long linguistic anthropological research on children with autism to introduce the notion of ‘‘autistic sociality’’ and to discuss its implications for an anthropological understanding of sociality. We define human sociality as consisting of a range of possibilities for social coordination with others that is influenced by the dynamics of both individuals and social groups. We argue that autistic sociality is one of these possible coordinations. Building our argument on ethnographic research that documents how sociality of children with autism varies across different situational conditions, we outline a ‘‘domain model’’ of sociality in which do- mains of orderly social coordination flourish when certain situational conditions are observed. Reaching toward an account that comprehends both social limitations and competencies that come together to compose autistic sociality, our analysis depicts autistic sociality not as an oxymoron but, rather, as a reality that reveals foundational properties of sociality along with the sociocultural ecologies that demonstrably promote or impede its development. In conclusion, we synthesize the ‘‘domain model’’ of sociality to present an ‘‘algorithm for autistic sociality’’ that enhances the social engagement of children with this disorder. [autism, sociality, conversa- tion, theory of mind, baby talk] This study draws on our decade-long linguistic anthropological research on children with autism to introduce the notion of ‘‘autistic sociality’’ and its implications for an anthropo- logical understanding of sociality. Autistic sociality is not an oxymoron but, rather, a systematically observable and widespread phenomenon in everyday life.
