The Crisis of Collage

Abstract

This performative essay is a collage of personal narratives of family woven together with theories of queer temporalities and crip theory. I juxtapose bits and pieces of performance scripts, papers from graduate seminars, attempts/experiments in performative writing, and other autoethnographic accounts of my families, to explore crises of meanings. My aim is to provide a space for possibilities, for new understandings of time, inheritance, (re)production, family interactions, and privilege. I use chrononormativity, the process of naturalizing dominant notions of time for maximum “productivity,” as a strategic framework to explore intersections of disability and queerness.
