Corporealities: Discourses of Disability

This series delves into the profound cultural and representational meanings of disability. It challenges traditional medicalized views of difference, instead analyzing how concepts like normalcy, health, and humanity are shaped by historical and social constructs. The books explore the shifting identities of disabled individuals, aiming to expand interpretive options for theorizing disability within the humanities. It is essential reading for understanding the social construction of divergence and the narratives surrounding bodily variations.
