Disability Studies: Enabling the Humanities,Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Images of disability pervade language and literature, yet disability is, as the volume's introduction notes, 'the ubiquitous unspoken topic in contemporary culture.' The twentyfive essays in Disability Studies provide perspectives on disabled people and on disability in the humanities, art, the media, medicine, psychology, the academy, and society.Edited and introduced by Sharon L. Snyder, Brenda Jo Brueggemann, and Rosemarie GarlandThomson and containing an afterword by Michael Brub (author of Life As We Know It), the volume is rich in its cast of characters (including John Bulwer, Teresa de Cartagena, Audre Lorde, Oliver Sacks, Samuel Johnson, Mark Twain, Walt Whitman); in its powerful, authentic accounts of disabled conditions (deafness, blindness, MS, cancer, the absence of limbs); in its different settings (ancient Greece, medieval Spain, Nazi Germany, the modern United States); and in its mix of the intellectual and the emotional, of subtle theory and plainspoken autobiography.
