Unraveling

In "Unraveling," Matthew J. Wolf-Meyer presents a groundbreaking cybernetic model of subjectivity and personhood that centers on disability experiences, challenging traditional views shaped by twentieth-century neuroscience. By analyzing personal narratives from individuals with neurological disorders alongside insights from neuroscientists and psychiatrists, he seeks to expose and dismantle ableist biases in our understanding of identity. The book redefines the relationship between the nervous system and its environment, emphasizing concepts such as animation, modularity, and facilitation through the lens of communication and caregiving.
