Thinking about the possibilities of antiracist disability epistemologies and crip genealogies, this chapter turns to East/ern Europe, as one of the locations that bears witness to the complex transnational translations of disability theory and to the ways in which its predominantly white and West-focused canon cannot take hold of the embodied effects of the postsocialist shock cure and its reverberations. It follows movements of desires, bodies, viruses, and knowledge across borders as an archive from which to destabilize canonical disability epistemologies. Leaning against Ahmed’s concept of mixed genealogy, this chapter argues for engagement with compromised past as well as hurtful presents. Hence, it turns to chronicity, time failing to proceed in its expected course, as a record of frustrations to the compulsory curative narrative of „transformation“, and matterings that allow for new mappings of how disability, race, sexuality, and postsocialism interarticulate.
