Chapter 1 Section 1: A Naturalized Narrative
In “A Naturalized Narrative,” Tremain argues that disability is not a fixed biological fact but a socially and politically produced category. She critiques how dominant narratives treat disability as “natural,” masking the ways that institutions, medical discourse, and power relations actually create and sustain it. Drawing on Foucault, Tremain shows that disability is an effect of biopower—a system that defines, regulates, and normalizes bodies in ways that uphold ableist norms.
