  One of the most commercially successful films of all time, Avatar (2009) is a blockbuster hit that provides a good example for investigating how disability and animality are far more intertwined and complicated than they might appear at first glance. We identify key scenes in Avatar in order to explore what we call “companion prosthetics”, in which transhuman and posthuman interactions and becomings have the potential for being more symbiotic, helping to deconstruct simplistic binaries such as able/disabled and human/animal. Different kinds of prosthesis need to be considered, such as the distinction between those with compensatory and augmentative goals, and the possibility for prosthetics to be associated with pleasure at times, rather than simply negative aspects of impairment. Jake’s fantasy-made-“real” of transcending his wheelchair by transforming into his avatar body by the end of the film can be seen as both an example of “narrative prosthesis” and a more interesting alternative. Choosing “companion prosthetics” over a “cure”—particularly in terms of the interspecies relationship required for the Na’vi to fly—has the potential for modelling utopian, posthumanist, and anti-speciesist visions.

  “Darwin propagated the idea that humans are like other animals fighting for survival, but distinguished supposedly by our intellect. This logic makes it possible for some human lives to be seen as more valuable than others,” says Professor of literature Michael Lundblad.

• Grue, Jan & Lundblad, Michael (2019). Embodying the narrative: Disability and animality in Game of Thrones. Show summary

  This paper asks how narrative tropes linked to disability and animality are deployed in a work of (extremely) popular fiction, namely the television series Game of Thrones (GoT). While disability and animality are often not theorized together, we argue that their sites of intersection are highly productive. By investigating the tensions and possibilities that arise when disability and animality meet, we seek new insight into how different forms of embodiment and different lives are culturally (de)valued.
