20.500.12556/RUL-187081 Avtizem onkraj patologije: normalnost, oblast in paradigma nevrodiverzitete magistrsko delo Autism beyond pathology: normality, power, and the neurodiversity paradigm V magistrskem delu smo poskušali osvetliti zgodovinske razmere, pod katerimi je avtizem nastal, in razkriti normativne predpostavke, vgrajene v pretekla in sodobna razumevanja tega stanja ter tako denaturalizirati in debiologizirati trenutno prevladujočo konceptualizacijo avtizma kot nevrorazvojne ‘motnje’. Skozi uporabo konceptov Foucaulta, študij hendikepa in študij avtizma smo razkrili, da se avtizem vzpostavlja kot motnja, ker predstavlja odklon od normalnosti. Sam koncept ‘normalnosti’ je historični artefakt, ki je nastal razmeroma nedavno, v 19. stoletju, in postal centralen medicinski in psihiatrični vednosti, ki deviacije od raznih norm medikalizira in opredeljuje kot individualne patologije, ‘okvare’. V delu smo demonstrirali, da so ‘okvare’, pogosto razumljene kot ahistorične in univerzalne, same pravzaprav produkt oblasti. S tem smo razkrili, da je tudi avtizem kot hendikep historični artefakt, vzpostavljen, konstituiran skozi tehnike oblasti, in ne naravna kategorija, ki bi bila zgolj odkrita s strani psihiatrije. Oblikovanje avtizma kot psihiatrične kategorije je bilo odvisno od številnih historičnih pogojev, med drugim razvoja psihiatričnih klasifikacij in razvoja psihiatrične oblasti. Ker je avtizem zapleten v mrežo oblastnih razmerij, smo skušali ugotoviti, kako se mu vlada in prikazali, da se vladanje odvija skozi interakcijo disciplinskih in biopolitičnih norm. Predstavili smo, da se trenutno prevladujočemu načinu vladanja avtizmu, ki avtizem patologizira, močno upira avtistična skupnost in gibanje nevrodiverzitete. Te smo interpretirali kot produktivno obliko protivodenja in izpostavili potencial za rekonceptualizacijo avtizma onkraj logike patologije. In this Master’s thesis we sought to examine the historical conditions under which autism emerged and expose the normative assumptions underlying past and current understandings of this condition and thereby denaturalize and debiologize the currently dominant conceptualizations of autism as a neurodevelopmental ‘disorder’. Drawing on Foucault, disability studies, and autism studies, we revealed that autism is constituted as a disorder because it is defined as a deviation from normality. Rather than a timeless concept, ‘normality’ emerged in the nineteenth century and became central to medical and psychiatric knowledge, where deviations from various norms are medicalized and constructed as pathologies, ‘impairments’. The thesis further demonstrated that impairments, commonly treated as natural and universal, are themselves products of power. Consequently, autism as a disability should be understood not as a natural category discovered by psychiatry, but as a historical artefact produced through techniques of power. Its emergence as a psychiatric category depended on specific historical conditions, including the expansion of psychiatric classifications and psychiatric power. Since autism is entangled in power relations, we sought to determine how it is governed and showed that governing unfolds through the interaction of disciplinary and biopolitical norms. We showed that the dominant pathologizing approach to governing autism is challenged by the autistic community and the neurodiversity movement. Interpreting these as a productive form of counter-conduct, we highlighted the potential to reconceptualize autism beyond the logic of pathology. avtizem normalnost oblast vladanje nevrodiverziteta autism normality power governance neurodiversity true true false M.
