Über dieses E-Book
- Why has 'the discursive turn' been sidelined in the development of a social theory of disability, and what has been the result of this?
- How might a social theory of disability which fully incorporates the multidimensional and multifunctional role of language be described?
- What would such a theory contribute to a more inclusive understanding of 'discourse' and 'culture'?
Drawing upon personal narratives, rhetoric, material discourse, discourse analysis, cultural representation, ethnography and contextual studies, international contributors seek to emphasize the multi-dimensional and multi-functional nature of disability language in an attempt to further inform our understanding of disability and to locate disability more firmly within contemporary mainstream social and cultural theory.
