Event Description
This talk offers an ethnographic analysis of the Pennhurst Asylum, a haunted attraction primarily staffed by disabled performers, located on the site of a former custodial institution for disabled people. It unmasks how the attraction’s immersive performances mix fact with fantasy and obscure ongoing violence against disabled people. The Pennhurst Asylum attraction serves as a bracketed performance space by creating a bounded, safe, aestheticized experience of an institution. This space exposes profound societal fears around the performative aspects of the “spectre of disability,” performances that reinforce perceptions of disability as the ghost of ability lost. This bracketed performance space also conceals ongoing acts of violence perpetrated against disabled people in institutions, all the while transferring embodied knowledge about disability, care, and violence. While this violence evades the review of both society and the justice system, the Pennhurst Asylum attraction, through its location in this former institution, captures this violence, making it possible for review. Finally, the Pennhurst Asylum not only reveals nondisabled society’s willingness to commodify institutional violence, but it also creates a space and a mode of performance—haunting—where disabled people unsettle nondisabled ontological assumptions of disability that returns political agency back to the spirits of the former Pennhurst inmates.
