Dangerous Discourses of Disability, Subjectivity and Sexuality Margrit Shildrick, Reader in Gender Studies, Queen’s University Belfast, UK
‘Dangerous Discourses of Disability, Subjectivity and Sexuality breaks new critical ground by bringing together three fundamental registers of difference to critically engage the fact of human bodily variation. This book asks sharp questions coming from theory, politics, and the material environment about our understandings of what it means to be a person living in a body deemed different.’ Professor Rosemarie Garland-Thomson, Emory University, USA This innovative and adventurous work uses broadly feminist and postmodernist modes of analysis to explore what motivates damaging attitudes and practices towards disability. Margrit Shildrick argues for the significance of the psychosocial imaginary, and suggests a way forward in disability’s queering of normative paradigms.
