Description

This special issue addresses disability as a central dimension of contemporary markets and consumption. Building on recent scholarship including a previous JMM special issue on the disabling marketplace and the Cripped Marketing Manifesto, the collection seeks to move beyond foundational work on marketplace exclusion toward deeper investigations of embodied, temporal, and affective aspects of disabled market life. The issue invites contributions exploring what remains theoretically, methodologically, and practically unsaid about how disability reshapes our understanding of markets themselves.
