Abstract

abstract:This article aims to explore motives around the topic of reading within ADHD online communities from a book studies perspective. Such reflections must account for neuro-ableism in educational institutions and resulting hermeneutical injustices, as well as decades of pathologizing research about ADHD(ers) in favor of medical models of disability. Ultimately, the article argues that a deeper knowledge of book history might be a source of empowerment, especially for ADHDers struggling with reading or picking up a book at all. For example, the invention of the codex originally gave way to discontinuous and interruptible reading practices, and the novel as a genre to be read alone, silently, and from cover to cover is in many ways a peculiarity. Furthermore, books are three-dimensional material objects and therefore an "antilibrary" can very well be reinterpreted as consisting of stimming or fidget tools.

手抄本总是在瘸子时间:多动症(ADHD)和阅读

本文旨在从书籍研究的角度探讨ADHD在线社区中阅读主题的动机。这样的反思必须考虑到教育机构中的神经残疾，以及由此导致的解释学上的不公正，以及几十年来对ADHD(ers)的病理研究，这些研究支持残疾的医学模型。最后，这篇文章认为，对书籍历史的深入了解可能是一种赋权的来源，特别是对于那些在阅读或拿起一本书时挣扎的多动症患者。例如，手抄本的发明最初让位于不连续和可中断的阅读实践，小说作为一种类型，可以单独阅读，默读，从头到尾，在很多方面都是一种独特性。此外，书籍是三维的物质对象，因此“反图书馆”可以很好地重新解释为由刺激或烦躁的工具组成。
