摘要
This article testifi es to the fact that focusing on the body can facilitate history, speaking to the presence - without the necessity of anachronistic categorizations and retro- diagnoses. This does not preclude - or devalue the usefulness of - diachronic phenomenological and philosophical meanderings, in particular when the focus, limitations and parameters of such enquiries are clearly defi ned. With these caveats, I would like to open up a dialogue between contemporary critical disability theory with Buddhist thought, moving in this chapter from investigating selected variable bodies within the circumscribed yet still somewhat fl uid, fuzzy and messy discursive context of Buddhist practices, narratives and philosophies to infusing ‘variability’ as a critical angle with Buddhist ‘theology’ (i.e. Buddhist constructive-critical thought).
