This special issue of the Journal of Arts and Communities (JAAC) invites
scholarly and artistic contributions on the theme of ‘Trans-disciplinarity
in Disability, Art & Design’, which will be published in late 2024. Readers
will engage with rich content from a diverse range of scholars within the
expanded fields of disability, art, and design, from a trans-disciplinary
perspective. What does the cross-pollination of disability, art, and design
look, sound, and feel like from within and across the disciplines of art
history, visual culture, museum and curatorial studies, architecture,
design, the health humanities, film and theatre, and the creative
industries at large? What are some of the noteworthy trends and evolutions
in the field that highlight critical issues of the present, which will
likely become most impactful in the future? How does trans-disciplinarity
impact creative collaboration between disabled artists and people in a
range of communities? This issue also attempts to tackle the conventional
definition of ‘transdisciplinarity’, which typically straddles a basic
typology between theory and praxis, and where practitioners (such as
artists) are acknowledged as valid and critical producers of knowledge on
par with academics and intellectuals. Drawing from the work of French
scholar, Cyrille Rigolot, this issue will argue for a more complex
definition of ‘transdisciplinary’. As Rigolot states, ‘when
transdisciplinary is considered as a way of being, it is inseparable from
personal life and extends far beyond the professional activities of a
researcher.’1 Rigolot’s construction of trandisciplinarity resonates and
aligns with one of the foundational tenets of disability studies itself and
the social model, which is that disability is a way of being that offers
generative creative tensions for ableist society to consider. The authors
in this special issue will grapple with more complex philosophical and
practical applications of transdisciplinarity, and how these new
constructions might be felt across an ever-expanding ecology of disability
arts, design, culture and community.
