  • - Disability in Contemporary Life Writing
    av G. Thomas Couser
    385,-

    Memoirs have enjoyed great popularity, experiencing significant sales, prominent reviews, and diverse readerships. This book shows that at the heart of the memoir phenomenon is our fascination with writing that focuses on what it means to live in, or be, an anomalous body - in other words, what it means to be disabled.

    av Stephen Knadler
    445 - 1 263,-

  • - Materiality, Biopolitics, Crip Affect
     
    1 294,-

    A collection of essays, that investigate the impact of disability across various art forms - including literature, performance, photography, and film.

  • av Shelley Lynn Tremain
    426 - 1 175,-

    By combining the work of Michel Foucault, the insights of philosophy of disability and feminist philosophy, and data derived from empirical research, Shelley L. Tremain compellingly argues that the conception of disability that currently predominates in the discipline of philosophy is inextricably intertwined with the underrepresentation of disabled philosophers in the profession of philosophy.

  • - Disability and Higher Education
    av Jay T. Dolmage
    371,-

    Brings together disability studies and institutional critique to recognise the ways that disability is composed in and by higher education, and rewrites the spaces, times, and economies of disability in higher education to place disability front and centre. For too long disability has been constructed as the antithesis of higher education, often positioned as a distraction, a problem to be solved.

    av Suzannah Biernoff
    1 066,-

    Explores the image and idea of facial disfigurement in one of its most troubling modern formations, as a symbol and consequence of war.

  • - Physical Disability in Transatlantic Modernist Literature
    av Maren Linett
    437 - 1 312,-

    Brings a new and exciting analytical lens to modernist literature, that of critical disability studies. The book offers new readings of canonical and non-canonical writers from both sides of the Atlantic. Through readings of this wide range of texts, the study reveals both modernism's scepticism about and dependence on fantasies of whole, ""normal"" bodies.

  • - A Re-reading of Twentieth-Century Anglophone Writing
    av David Bolt
    1 039,-

    Although the theme of blindness occurs frequently in literature, literary criticism rarely engages the experiential knowledge of people with visual impairments. The Metanarrative of Blindness counters this trend by bringing to readings of 20th-century works in English a perspective appreciative of impairment and disability.

  • - Disability and Masculinity in the Mid-Victorian Novel
    av Karen Bourrier
    1 066,-

    Examines the proliferation of crippled, maimed, and disabled men in the mid-nineteenth-century novel, showing that disability was central to Victorian narrative form. Karen Bourrier argues that this unexpected interest in masculine weakness and disability was a response to the rise of a new Victorian culture of industry and vitality, and its corollary emphasis on a hardy, active manhood.

    Since the 1970s the ascendancy of minority identities based on gender, race, and sexuality has transformed the landscape of cultural theory, embracing greater political urgency and relevance.
