Following is a quote from Davies. can anyone help me trace the page number?
Thanks

"The body is seen as a site of "jouissance" that defies reason, that takes dominant culture and its rigid, power-laden vision of the body to task. The nightmare of that [disabled] body is one that is deformed, maimed, mutilated, broken, diseased. Rather than face this ragged image, the critic turns to the fluids of sexuality, the gloss of lubrication, the glossary of the body as text, the heteroglossia of the intertext, the glossalia of the schizophrenic. But almost never to the body of the differently abled."
