Hiya - not sure if this is the sort of thing you might be interested in but
I recently came across some work by Shelly Tremain that highlights some
conceptual problems with the social model. There are a few but see 'On the
Government of Disability' 2001 27/4 617-636 in Social theory and practice.
It draws on Foucault and asserts problems with the disability / impairment
distinction and how modern power relations / political arrangements produce
subjects who have impairments. I think it makes some good points.
