Dear Max
I do not really know of too many articles except one by Tom Shakespeare
in Disability and Society (called something like Dustbin of Disavowal -
Disability and Society is - as you probably know - a academic journal
(your UNI should have it).
I know of no one who has seen the tempest thing but here is Mike
Scarlet's e-mail: [log in to unmask]
Try him
Cheers and good luck
