TY - JOUR PY - 2016// TI - De-privatizing self-harm: remembering the social self in how to forget JO - Journal of bioethical inquiry A1 - Danylevich, Theodora SP - 507 EP - 514 VL - 13 IS - 4 N2 - This article reads Malu De Martino's 2010 film Como Esqueçer (How to Forget) as a case study in self-harm as a mode of expression and self-inquiry. Drawing on disability and queer theory, psychoanalysis, and sociology of medicine, the author argues that How to Forget charts a "crip" epistemology of self-harm and theorizes a "social self." That is to say, the film models an orientation towards self-harm that offers a coalitional and social therapeutic understanding. Based on this reading, the author suggests the application of practices of knowing-with, or knowing-in-relation as "cripistemology" to a broader therapeutic, research, and lay context.
