Cripistemological Concerns in Ellie Terry’s Forget Me Not

Author(s) Dr. Kala S J, Ms. Anto Jerlin C
Country India
Abstract The academic field of Disability studies muses over the rights and representations of disabled individuals and has shown prolific growth in the last decade. Disability studies perceive disability as a social construct, integrating with it the ideas of culture, religion, gender, race and sexuality. The application of an intersectional framework to study disability led to the formation of crip-theory, catering to the need for authentic representation otherwise known as cripistemological representations. Cripistemological representations further enhances the scholarship on disability especially intellectual disability which is convoluted and perplexing in nature.
The novel, Forget Me Not, by Ellie Terry, a semi-autobiographical novel unfolds Terry’s journey as a neurodiverse person through the character of Calliope. It stresses upon the need for self-expression as a disabled individual. This research paper focusses on the portrayal of Tourette’s Syndrome, an intellectual disorder and the need for cripistemological representations as found in the novel Forget Me Not by Ellie Terry. Adopting the library research methodology the article will explore the adversities encountered by an intellectually disabled individual and their effort to mask while constructing their personal identity.
Keywords Tourette Syndrome, Epistemic Injustice, Cripistemology, Intellectual Disability, Shame and Crip Theory
