It's a while ago (1996) but I did once do a very short paper called 'The
Disabled People's Movement - Class or Post-class?'. I don't think I have
an electronic copy and to be honest I can't remember what's in it. But I
can probably find a hard copy if it's any use. I don't think it's
generally available in print (and most likely not worth the searching)
but it's in a Cambridge Sociological Research Group conference
proceedings called 'Post Class Society?' edited by Wendy Bottero in 1996
Actually, I thought Tom's 1993 paper was very useful...

Subject: That Shakespeherian Rag
"It's so elegant, so intelligent" (Eliot, 1922)
Well attempting to be serious for a moment. I have not yet managed to
read
the latest Shakespeare Tome, which is probably a testimony either to my
meanness or poverty, or the popularity of the book whichever way you
look at
it.
So I am looking for a useful citation (not from Eliots Waste land again
please)wondering do we find anywhere in Shakespeare (the baronet not the
bard) the critique of the disability movement from the sociological
standpoint of its being an elitist or "high" culture analogous to the
notions of classical music vs rock and roll for the hoi polloi.
I rather suspect it would be a wonderful post modernist irony for
Shakespeare to say this, but I am willing to accept any lesser luminary
who
has pointed this notion out from the opposite class perspective, that is
to
say that the "disability movement" is a middle class educated ideal
attempting to patronise the ordinary experience of working class
"disability" (whatever disability in this context means).
And don't shoot me for asking for it, I am simply looking for a critique
of
this sort to balance an essay I am writing, not necessarily agreeing
with
the idea, cos who says the lumpenproletariat can't have culcha :)
