Contours of Ableism The Production of Disability and Abledness

Dangerous Discourses of Disability, Subjectivity and Sexuality

Fiona Kumari Campbell, Senior Lecturer, Griffith University, Australia Foreword by Dan Goodley, Professor

Challenging notions of what constitutes ‘normal’ and ‘pathological’ bodies, this ambitious, agenda-setting study theoretically reinvigorates disability studies by reconceptualising it as ‘studies of ableism’ focusing on the practices and formations of ablebodiedness to uncover what it means to be ‘able’ rather than ‘disabled’. Contents: D.Goodley: Foreword / PART I: COGITATING ABLEISM / The Project of Ableism / Internalized Ableism: The Tyranny Within / Tentative Disability: Mitigation and its Discontents / Love Objects and Transhuman Beasts?: Riding the Technologies / PART II: SPECTRES OF ABLEISM / The Deaf Trade: Selling the Cochlear Implant / Print Media Representations of the ‘Unco-operative’ Patient: The Case of Clint Hallam / Disability Matters: Embodiment, Teaching & Standpoint / Pathological Femaleness: Disability Jurisprudence & Ontological Envelopment / Disability Harm & Wrongful Life Torts / Searching for Subjectivity: The Enigma of Devoteeism, Conjoinment and Transableism / Afterword: From Disability Studies to Studies in Ableism?

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.

‘...a brilliant little book... Moore does a great job of exposing the orthodoxy of ‘awareness’ for what it really is; challenging the sickness of our ribbon culture requires that we think beyond the pink to care about something less selfish instead.’ Spiked Review of Books This book explores the history, meaning, and sociological implications of awareness campaigns, seeing them as personal displays of compassion in a culture where empathy is a by-word for authenticity. It also highlights how charities use awareness campaigns to reach their audience, and the transformation of charity into a commercial enterprise.

Equity in Education An International Comparison of Pupil Perspectives Stephen Gorard, Professor of Education Research and Emma Smith, Reader in Education, both at University of Birmingham, UK

Based on the views of teenagers across Europe and in the Far East, this book argues that we need to reconsider how we judge schools and what they are for. It shows that the treatment of pupils in schools makes more difference to teenagers’ views on society, and on what it means to be fair, than it does to differences in attainment.

In recent years lifelong learning has become one of the most prominent education policy goals. This book shows how international organizations have promoted this idea and disseminated the need for it to countries all over the world. As a consequence of their activity, lifelong learning has become a central element of modern education policy.

Janise Hurtig, Senior Researcher, PRAIRIE Group, College of Education, University of Illinois, USA

Coming of Age in Times of Crisis is an anthropological study of the intersecting roles of gender and schooling in the lives of rural Venezuelan youth as they make the transition to adulthood during times of national political and economic crisis. Strongly grounded in local detail while speaking to larger comparative issues and the crises that surround globalization, the study enables us to see how gender roles and social class are reproduced in a culture experiencing profound upheaval, and to see how rural Venezuelans have managed to reproduce and change their culture in these circumstances. This book is based on two-and-a-half years of ethnographic field research Hurtig conducted in the Andean region of Venezuela between 1991 and 1993, and again briefly in 1996.
