Explaining the unexplainable: theorizing the starving of the disabled other

Every year, stories emerge of cases involving the starvation of disabled people, such as Ann Marie Smith in 2020 in Adelaide, Australia. Despite this, starvation practices against disabled people remain under-theorized. This may reflect that starvation as a topic is largely confined to international...

520 |a Every year, stories emerge of cases involving the starvation of disabled people, such as Ann Marie Smith in 2020 in Adelaide, Australia. Despite this, starvation practices against disabled people remain under-theorized. This may reflect that starvation as a topic is largely confined to international relations literature (e.g. during war), or conversely, in medicalized accounts pathologising the individual body (e.g. anorexia, Munchausen syndrome by proxy). More broadly, the "unique" starvation practices against disabled people are sidelined as rubrics of "neglect" or "abuse" take precedence, meaning we fail to engage with the specificity/particularity of starvation practices as forms of violence. Starvation practices against disabled people in interpersonal (or familial) contexts are qualitatively different; this article addresses this gap by providing a preliminary theorization of such violence. We survey the existing literature before invoking two frames - "Vulnerability and Harm by Design" and "Disability’s Deathly Status" - which we suggest provide an account of starvation as a form of violence. Rather than conceive these practices through an individualizing lens, we consider the broader social and institutional norms and practices that facilitate this conduct. We then turn to the promise of crip utopian futures in collective efforts to resist these cycles of violence and to promote interdependent, accessible, and crip socialities/futures.
