Drawing upon a Foucauldian conceptualisation of biopower in connection with Harraway’s articulation of the cyborg, we highlight how hybrid bodies inevitably fail to promote embodied difference because they constitute, in and of themselves, a product of “normalizing” technology. In light of critiques such as that of the sporting supercrip, we argue that the heroic glorification of Paralympic cyborgs further amplifies the inadequacy of non cyborg disabled bodies, whose impairments cannot be “compensated for” by movement technologies.
