Abstract

10.24917/20837275.10.1.10

Jak wielu aspołecznych i aseksualnych geniuszy, Sherlock Holmes był w większości adaptacji prezentowany jako bohater z cechami kojarzonymi w kulturze popularnej z autyzmem, takimi jak nieprzeciętna inteligencja analityczna, niechęć do nawiązywania bliskich relacji z ludźmi, niezrozumienie norm społecznych i brak empatii. Artykuł analizuje konstrukcję postaci Sherlocka w serialu BBC Sherlock oraz wykorzystaną w nim narrację o leczeniu detektywa, w wyniku którego traci on cechy autystyczne. Następnie przedstawiam krytykę tego rodzaju narracji z perspektywy studiów o niepełnosprawności, skupiając się na przemocy zawartej w dehumanizacji autystyków oraz w próbach wykorzenienia autyzmu.
