Rachel Adams, Benjamin Reiss, "Keywords for Disability Studies"
2015 | ISBN-10: 1479839523, 1479841153 | 288 pages | PDF | 2 MB
Keywords for Disability Studiesaims to broaden and define the conceptual
framework of disability studies for readers and practitioners in the field and
beyond. The volume engages some of the most pressing debates of our time, such
as prenatal testing, euthanasia, accessibility in public transportation and the
workplace, post-traumatic stress, and questions about the beginning and end of
life. Each of the 60 essays inKeywords for Disability Studiesfocuses on a
distinct critical concept, including ethics, medicalization, performance,
reproduction, identity, and stigma, among others. Although the essays recognize
that disability is often used as an umbrella term, the contributors to the
volume avoid treating individual disabilities as keywords, and instead
interrogate concepts that encompass different components of the social and
bodily experience of disability. The essays approach disability as an embodied
condition, a mutable historical phenomenon, and a social, political, and
cultural identity. An invaluable resource for students and scholars alike,
Keywords for Disability Studiesbrings the debates that have often remained
internal to disability studies into a wider field of critical discourse,
providing opportunities for fresh theoretical considerations of the field s core
presuppositions through a variety of disciplinary perspectives.Visit
