Abstract

How can the wheelchair be other than a placeholder for tragedy or negativity? Kuppers examines the wheelchair as a prop and as a playground of multiple intersecting narratives, desires, textures, and signs in Murderball, Guillermo Gómez-Peña's Museum of Fetishized Identities, and the X-Men movies.
