Reposted by @betskyyy.bsky.socialThe Polyphony @the-polyphony.bsky.social · 11/09/2026How would literary/cultural studies look if neurodivergent ways of knowing were treated as foundational? @autisticrealms.bsky.social and @betskyyy.bsky.social explore essays that occupy neurominority positions as 'productive sites of embodied meaning-making'. thepolyphony.org/2026/09/11/r...thepolyphony.orgA ‘Neurodivergent Turn’: Review of ‘Critical Neurodiversity Studies: Divergent Textualities in Literature and Culture’This essay collection refuses to ‘reduce neurodiversity to a pathologised object of clinical study or passive trope in literature’, say Betsy Selvam and Helen Edgar. 0119
