Book Synopsis Identity Construction and Illness Narratives in Persons with Disabilities by : Chalotte Glintborg
Download or read book Identity Construction and Illness Narratives in Persons with Disabilities written by Chalotte Glintborg and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-08-31 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book investigates how being diagnosed with various disabilities impacts on identity. Once diagnosed with a disability, there is a risk that this label can become the primary status both for the person diagnosed as well as for their family. This reification of the diagnosis can be oppressive because it subjugates humanity in such a way that everything a person does can be interpreted as linked to their disability. Drawing on narrative approaches to identity in psychology and social sciences, the bio-psycho-social model and a holistic approach to disabilities, the chapters in this book understand disability as constructed in discourse, as negotiated among speaking subjects in social contexts, and as emergent. By doing so, they amplify voices that may have otherwise remained silent and use storytelling as a way of communicating the participants' realities to provide a more in-depth understanding of their point of view. This book will be of interest to all scholars and students of disability studies, sociology, medical humanities, disability research methods, narrative theory, and rehabilitation studies.

Book Synopsis Women with Disabilities as Agents of Peace, Change and Rights by : Karen Soldatic
Download or read book Women with Disabilities as Agents of Peace, Change and Rights written by Karen Soldatic and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-10-29 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing on rich empirical work emerging from core conflict regions within the island nation of Sri Lanka, this book illustrates the critical role that women with disabilities play in post-armed conflict rebuilding and development. This pathbreaking book shows the critical role that women with disabilities play in post-armed conflict rebuilding and development. Through offering a rare yet important insight into the processes of gendered-disability advocacy activation within the post-conflict environment, it provides a unique counter narrative to the powerful images, symbols and discourses that too frequently perpetuate disabled women’s so-called need for paternalistic forms of care. Rather than being the mere recipients of aid and help, the narratives of women with disabilities reveal the generative praxis of social solidarity and cohesion, progressed via their nascent collective practices of gendered-disability advocacy. It will be of interest to academics and students working in the fields of disability studies, gender studies, post-conflict studies, peace studies and social work.
Book Synopsis International Disability Rights Advocacy by : Daniel Pateisky
Download or read book International Disability Rights Advocacy written by Daniel Pateisky and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-03-23 with total page 199 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides insight into the globally interlinked disability rights community and its political efforts today. By analysing what disability rights activism contributes to a global power apparatus of disability-related knowledge, it demonstrates how disability advocacy influences the way we categorise, classify, distribute, manipulate, and therefore transform knowledge. By unpacking the mutually constitutive relations between (practical) moral knowledge of international disability advocates and (formal) disability rights norms that are codified in international treaties such as the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD), the author shows that the disability rights movement is largely critical of statements that attempt to streamline it. At the same time, cross-cultural disability rights advocacy requires images of uniformity to stabilise its global legitimacy among international stakeholders and retain a common meta-code that visibly identifies its means and aims. As an epistemic community, disability rights advocates simultaneously rely on and contest the authority of international human rights infrastructure and its language. Proving that disability rights advocates contribute immensely to a global culture that standardises what is considered morally and legally ‘right’ and ‘wrong’, thereby shaping the human body and the body politic, this book will be of interest to all scholars and students of critical disability studies, sociology of knowledge, legal and linguistic anthropology, social inequality, and social movements.
Book Synopsis Disability and Citizenship Studies by : Marie Sépulchre
Download or read book Disability and Citizenship Studies written by Marie Sépulchre and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-09-24 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Focusing on the case of disability, this book examines what happens when previously marginalised individuals obtain the legal recognition of their equal citizenship rights but cannot fully enjoy these rights because of structural inequality. Bringing together disability and citizenship studies, it explores an original conceptualisation of disability as a distinct social division and approaches citizenship as a developing institution. In addition to providing innovative theoretical perspectives on citizenship and disability, this book is grounded in the empirical analysis of the claims of disability activists in Sweden. Drawing on a wide range of blog posts and debate articles, it sheds light upon the inequality and domination faced by disabled people in Sweden and underlines the disability activists’ proactive ideas and solutions for constructing a more equal citizenship. This book will be of interest to scholars, activists and policymakers in the fields of disability, citizenship, social inequality, human rights, politics, activism, social welfare and sociology.
Book Synopsis Reimagining Disablist and Ableist Violence as Abjection by : Ryan Thorneycroft
Download or read book Reimagining Disablist and Ableist Violence as Abjection written by Ryan Thorneycroft and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-07-26 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing upon vivid and harrowing life history narratives of people labelled intellectually disabled, this book examines the ways in which disabled subjects are constituted, regulated, governed, and violated through an account of abjection. Extending interdisciplinary dialogues and approaches, it abandons a construct of violence (which by law requires a stable notion of a victim and a perpetrator) and moves to a theorisation of abjection to explore the ways in which disabled subjects are (re)produced, constituted, and treated through time. Deploying a wide range of interdisciplinary approaches, this book sits at the intersections of criminology and sociology, re-thinks notions of dis/ability, violence, and subjectivity, and utilises crip and queer theory to imagine dis/ability differently. It will be of interest to all scholars and students of disability studies, sociology and criminology, and specifically those working the areas of life history work, post-structuralism, hate crime, and post-modern criminology.
Book Synopsis Recovering Bodies by : G. Thomas Couser
Download or read book Recovering Bodies written by G. Thomas Couser and published by Univ of Wisconsin Press. This book was released on 1997-11-01 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a provocative look at writing by and about people with illness or disability—in particular HIV/AIDS, breast cancer, deafness, and paralysis—who challenge the stigmas attached to their conditions by telling their lives in their own ways and on their own terms. Discussing memoirs, diaries, collaborative narratives, photo documentaries, essays, and other forms of life writing, G. Thomas Couser shows that these books are not primarily records of medical conditions; they are a means for individuals to recover their bodies (or those of loved ones) from marginalization and impersonal medical discourse. Responding to the recent growth of illness and disability narratives in the United States—such works as Juliet Wittman’s Breast Cancer Journal, John Hockenberry’s Moving Violations, Paul Monette’s Borrowed Time: An AIDS Memoir, and Lou Ann Walker’s A Loss for Words: The Story of Deafness in a Family—Couser addresses questions of both poetics and politics. He examines why and under what circumstances individuals choose to write about illness or disability; what role plot plays in such narratives; how and whether closure is achieved; who assumes the prerogative of narration; which conditions are most often represented; and which literary conventions lend themselves to representing particular conditions. By tracing the development of new subgenres of personal narrative in our time, this book explores how explicit consideration of illness and disability has enriched the repertoire of life writing. In addition, Couser’s discussion of medical discourse joins the current debate about whether the biomedical model is entirely conducive to humane care for ill and disabled people. With its sympathetic critique of the testimony of those most affected by these conditions, Recovering Bodies contributes to an understanding of the relations among bodily dysfunction, cultural conventions, and identity in contemporary America.

Book Synopsis Narratives of Disability and Illness in the Fiction of J. M. Coetzee by : Pawel Wojtas
Download or read book Narratives of Disability and Illness in the Fiction of J. M. Coetzee written by Pawel Wojtas and published by Edinburgh University Press. This book was released on 2024-03-31 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study offers a detailed analysis of the fiction of J. M. Coetzee, including the novels of the South African and Australian periods, to demonstrate the development of Coetzee's engagement with the complexities of non-normative embodiment. In this illuminating monograph, Pawel Wojtas demonstrates the extent to which Coetzee's multifaceted depictions of disability offer a sustained critique of the ableist implications of political violence and neoliberal inclusionism alike. Exploring a wide range of notions, such as ocularnormativism, mute speech, eco-disability, disability Gothic, dismodernism, autogerontography, and bibliotherapy, Wojtas shows how Coetzee's 'disabled textuality' provokes a sustained meditation on various forms of cultural denigration of disability experience.
Book Synopsis Claiming Disability by : Simi Linton
Download or read book Claiming Disability written by Simi Linton and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 1998-01-01 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A comprehensive assessment of the field of Disability Studies that presents beyond the medical to dig into the meaning From public transportation and education to adequate access to buildings, the social impact of disability has been felt everywhere since the passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act in 1990. And a remarkable groundswell of activism and critical literature has followed in this wake. Claiming Disability is the first comprehensive examination of Disability Studies as a field of inquiry. Disability Studies is not simply about the variations that exist in human behavior, appearance, functioning, sensory acuity, and cognitive processing but the meaning we make of those variations. With vivid imagery and numerous examples, Simi Linton explores the divisions society creates—the normal versus the pathological, the competent citizen versus the ward of the state. Map and manifesto, Claiming Disability overturns medicalized versions of disability and establishes disabled people and their allies as the rightful claimants to this territory.
Book Synopsis Beyond Narrative Coherence by : Matti Hyvärinen
Download or read book Beyond Narrative Coherence written by Matti Hyvärinen and published by John Benjamins Publishing. This book was released on 2010 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Beyond Narrative Coherence" reconsiders the way we understand and work with narratives. Even though narrators tend to strive for coherence, they also add complexity, challenge canonical scripts, and survey lives by telling highly perplexing and contradictory stories. Many narratives remain incomplete, ambiguous, and contradictory. Obvious coherence cannot be the sole moral standard, the only perspective of reading, or the criterion for selecting and discarding research material. "Beyond Narrative Coherence" addresses the limits and aspects of narrative (dis)cohering by offering a rich theoretical and historical background to the debate. Limits of narrative coherence are discussed from the perspective of three fields of life that often threaten the coherence of narrative: illness, arts, and traumatic political experience. The authors of the book cover a wide range of disciplines such as psychology, sociology, arts studies, political science and philosophy.
Book Synopsis Disabled Self/Other Performativity in Autoethnographic Film Praxis by : Robert Cettl
Download or read book Disabled Self/Other Performativity in Autoethnographic Film Praxis written by Robert Cettl and published by Robert Cettl. This book was released on 2020-07-18 with total page 31 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This ebook contextualizes the performativity of self/Other dialectics in autoethnographic film-making praxis by examining two films post-produced on disability and LGBT performance art while the author was in award of a SAR Research Fellowship at Australia’s National Film & Sound Archive [NFSA]. Autoethnographic film’s self/Other performativity is contextualized with reference to Disability Studies identity theory such as it affects the two films under discussion, specifically to the fusion of autoethnography and Disability Studies in the last decade. Thus framing the Other with reference to Disability Studies considerations of mental health (esp. schizophrenia), the paper examines the effect of auto-ethnographic film praxis on the construction of an autoethnographer-as-filmmaker self-as-Other persona through which to interrogate the social reality delimiters affecting the construction of a human research subject sexual, LGBT-referential self-identity upon which have been superimposed the constraints of Otherness. It examines specifically the use of autobiographical, biographical and both montagist and dialogic techniques in the representation of the interpretivist phenomonology of self-as-Other identity construction as inherent in autoethnographic film-making praxis. Examples are given from the films under discussion and related to the existing body of work on autoethnography and disability.

Book Synopsis The Social Construction of Intellectual Disability by : Mark Rapley
Download or read book The Social Construction of Intellectual Disability written by Mark Rapley and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2004-06-10 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Intellectual disability is usually thought of as a form of internal, individual affliction, little different from diabetes, paralysis or chronic illness. This study, the first book-length application of discursive psychology to intellectual disability, shows that what we usually understand as being an individual problem is actually an interactional, or social, product. Through a range of case studies, which draw upon ethnomethodological and conversation analytic scholarship, the book shows how persons categorized as 'intellectually disabled' are produced, as such, in and through their moment-by-moment interaction with care staff and other professionals.
