M/C Journal 11.3 (Jul. 2008). 31 Oct. 2009 <http://journal.media-culture.org.au/index.php/mcjournal/article/view/57>.1441-2616http://hdl.handle.net/1880/47467The purpose of this paper is to explore discourses of ‘ability’ and ‘ableism’. Terms such as abled, dis-abled, en-abled, dis-enabled, diff-abled, transable, assume different meanings as we eliminate ‘species-typical’ as the norm and make beyond ‘species-typical’ the norm. This paper contends that there is a pressing need for society to deal with ableism in all of its forms and its consequences.engAttribution Non-Commercial No Derivatives 3.0 UnportedAbleism, disability, enhancementrat race of abilitiesjournal article10.11575/PRISM/33422
