The shadow side of occupational therapy: Necropower, state racism and colonialism by Pier-Luc Turcotte, Dave Holmes

“…To prevent the recurrence of these injustices, history must be unveiled and occupational therapists urged to come to terms with their own involvement and responsibility.Objective and Method Utilising Achille Mbembe’s concept of necropolitics, this academic essay blends select historical and philosophical perspectives to explore occupational therapy’s concealed role in manifestations of institutionalised violence.Results By examining its roles in World War II and France’s colonisation of Algeria, we make visible the development of occupational therapy’s distinct ‘shadow side’. In Nazi Germany’s Euthanasia Programme, it became a tool for identifying which lives were deemed ‘worthy of living’ and which were not, which indirectly contributed to the killing of 200,000 disabled persons. …”

Today, biopolitics at the global level is implemented in the UN development programs, in various international and transnational initiatives to promote international development, as well as in global health governance. …”

Die frühe Schenker-Rezeption Hellmut Federhofers by Thomas Wozonig
