Abstract

This article examines how recent welfare reform in the UK has caused systemic violence to people with severe disabilities who are reliant on state benefits. It evaluates the underpinning discourse framings and changes in welfare policies, using concepts of debility and recognition to reveal the inherent contradictions in policies targeting people on the ‘wrong side of inequality’. To help contribute to a recognition of the impact of these changes, the article gives voice to six people with severe disabilities who, through their benefit stories, expose the impact of this violence. Despite these injustices, their stories reveal lives lived with great courage and resilience, and worthy of much greater recognition.

寻求对重度残疾人福利的认可

这篇文章探讨了英国最近的福利改革是如何对依赖国家福利的严重残疾人造成系统性暴力的。它评估了福利政策的基本话语框架和变化，使用弱势和认可的概念来揭示针对“不平等错误一方”的政策中的内在矛盾。为了帮助人们认识到这些变化的影响，这篇文章为六名严重残疾人士发声，他们通过自己的福利故事揭露了这种暴力的影响。尽管存在这些不公正现象，但他们的故事揭示了他们的生活充满勇气和韧性，值得更多的认可。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
