But this "revaluing" of disability is less straightforward than it seems and entails moments where the condition of disability is produced, reproduced, and contested. There are reports, for example, of nondisabled refugees "performing" disability and requesting specialized medical services for mental illness to procure permission to live outside camps. Such performances are often contested by medical professionals and declared as not legitimate (Hyndman 2000). […] On the other hand, such "productions" of disability reflect a strategy for survival and a desperate attempt to escape unlivable camp conditions. Regardless, the ultimate falsification of such claims likely reinforces the image of refugees as fraudulent and manipulative. Not to mention the likelihood of greater scrutiny over genuine mental health symptoms and future disability claims.
— "Refugee Camps, Asylum Detention, and the Geopolitics of Transnational Migration: Disability and Its Intersections with Humanitarian Confinement," Mansha Mirza in Disability Incarcerated: Imprisonment and Disability in the United States and Canada, edited by Liat Ben-Moshe, Chris Chapman, and Allison C. Carey
this quote—hm. thinking about, firstly, the socially constructed nature of disability (like how in china they have, iirc, different ideas about who’s disabled—what conditions merit that word being ascribed to a person. i use china as an example because i took a class on disability across cultures several semesters ago where we focused on china as our parallel to the u.s.) also, like, what is it that makes one’s performance of dis/ability legitimate? is it medical validation, testing, etc., that makes dis/ability legitimate? or just self-identification? mirza does not seem to think self-identification is enough. what is, then?
(nota bene: i am interpreting mirza’s use of “performance” to be meant in the same way as judith butler uses “performance” and using it accordingly.)

A Day On Fang Rock: Doctor Who Season 15 BFI Event for The Collection's Release
A Day On Fang Rock: #DoctorWho Season 15 BFI Event for The Collection's Release
It’s getting much more difficult nowadays to get tickets for any Doctor Who screenings, including the Riverside events. However, while grabbing a BFI ticket is nigh on impossible, my friend Maria always has quite good luck so we were able to go to and see one of the best classic Doctor Who stories around — Horror of Fang Rock.
For those who have never been to a BFI event, they are excellently…
