February 2023 – Katharine Terrell: The fat* disabled Walmart shopper; or, how not to be a good consumer under capitalism
This paper considers an everyday occurrence: going grocery shopping. The normative expectation is that everybody will enter a shop, reach the shelf with the item they need, pick it up and put it in a basket. Du Gay (2004, 157) describes this “autonomous” shopper being encouraged to spend in “the proper exercise of individual shopping liberty” – they are not free, ut they are sold the idea that they are. For disabled people, this becomes more complex. Jennifer Knapp Wilkinson, a disabled American, discovered that strangers were mocking a photograph of her (which had been taken without her permission and published on the Internet) in which she falls from her mobility scooter as she reaches for groceries from a shelf.

Liberation insists on what could yet be, breaking down what is. And we must never stop insisting... From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free.
