- Synopsis
- Examining what the study of disability tells us about the production, operation and maintenance of ableism, this ambitious study explores the ways abledness is understood. It provides new directions in research on 'aberrancy' and its focus on a normative ethos. Reconfiguring, challenging and extending the boundaries of a disability studies perspective, Contours of Ableism explores territories of ableism in the themes of embodiment, subjectivity, transhumanism, technologies and jurisprudence.
