Doing interdependence




This was the work that made me want to share some of the best stuff about dis/ability on the web. In it feminist philosopher Judith Butler and disability activist Sunaura Taylor go for a walk and have a conversation about disability as not merely a physical status but also about ones 'place' in society (which turns out to also be an issue for so called "able-bodied" persons.)


It is one of a series of videos called The Examined Life combined as a documentary film by Astra Taylor , and made up of interviews with eight philosophers about  their central ideas.
