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.
