Abstract:

As an emerging study field, disability studies still have many innovative aspects that need to be exposed in terms of research perspective and depth. Disability narrative is one of the perspectives. Due to the strong inclusiveness of narratology itself, in its continuous cross-research with other fields, there have been death narratives, hero narratives, illness narratives, trauma narratives, and so on. Even though there are currently no scholars defining the disability narrative, it can still prove the feasibility and rationality of its emergence. This paper aims to reveal the changes in the

Abstract:

This article examines the construction of identity and masculinity in two cases of disability autobiography. Retrospectively written autobiographical accounts of early-onset disability were analyzed abductively by using the model of narrative circulation (MNC), with a thematic content analysis being used to organize the data. Both narrators constructed their adult identity as men in relation to the available disability narratives and living conditions. Three intertwined dimensions regarding the construction of identity could be observed: external expectations, internal intentions, and locally

Disability representation often perpetuates harmful stigmatization and stereotyping.

Given the complexity and diversity of disabled persons’ experiences, this study cannot provide a comprehensive account of all representational forms.

Abstract This article examines the place of religion in the narratives of mothers of children with fragile X syndrome. In semistructured interviews, a majority of women combined narratives of religious practice with illness narratives, interpreting their children's disabilities within a religious framework. Informed by Arthur Frank's (1995) concept of “wounded storytellers,” the authors articulate a reconciliation narrative that mothers commonly used to describe their transition from viewing disability as a burden or challenge to seeing it as a blessing, or as a part of God's purpose or plan f

Abstract:

Superheroes are often disabled, either literally or metaphorically. Their exceptional powers and abilities may be balanced by weakness in order to engender audience sympathy or identification, or to provide a source of narrative obstacles. Although superhero stories are not necessarily about disability, they have become one of the most accessible and popular formats in which disability is a consistently salient trope and integral part of the narrative machinery. The article argues that the use of disability in current superhero narratives, exemplified by the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), is

This paper discloses how disabled people in Hungary experience and reflect on the constant changes of disability-related concepts and paradigms. Consequently, people oftentimes get lost in the fields of disability. In order to find our way and help others find theirs, I believe I must disentangle these concepts and paradigms. A personal narrative helps me illustrate the danger these entangled paradigms can cause. After examplifying the danger, I move towards the several questions the narrative provokes.

Abstract:

What is deemed ‘good’ or ‘humane’ care often seems to be underpinned by a standard ideal of an able-bodied, autonomous human being, which not only underlies those ‘social and professional structures within which narratives and decisions regarding various impairments are held’ (Ho, 2008), but also co-shapes these structures. This paper aims to explore how a relational form of auto-ethnography can promote good care. Rather than being based on and focused toward this standard ideal, it challenges ‘humanity’ by showing how illness narratives, public discourse, and policy are framed by ethical ques

After a decade of working in disability studies, I still find myself surprised by the presence of disability in narratives I had never considered to be “about” disability—in animated films from Dumbo to Finding Nemo; in literary texts from Huckleberry Finn to Joan Didion's Play It As It Lays; and, most curiously, even in the world of science fiction and superheroes, a world that turns out to be populated by blind Daredevils, mutant supercrips, and posthuman cyborgs of all kinds.

Abstract The paper presents findings from narrative analyses of interviews with 16 Gujarati women caring for a child with an intellectual disability in a midsized city in India. Participants’ mothering narratives articulate the multiple selves (or identities) they have constructed in the context of their child’s disability. In efforts to align with the cultural discourse on good mothering, women in this study sometimes narrate themselves as knowledge bearers and as agents, as people who labor and triumph over difficult circumstances, but at other times vulnerable and victimized as they navigat

Disability narratives serve as a bridge between myth and realism, offering a profound lens through which to examine human diversity and societal constructs. While mythological depictions often reduce disability to symbolic archetypes—representing moral flaws, divine punishment, or extraordinary wisdom—realist narratives ground disability in the lived experiences of individuals, highlighting systemic injustices and cultural biases. This evolution in representation dismantles stereotypes, portraying disabled individuals as complex, multifaceted members of society. Works like Dickens’ Bleak House

In the context of abortion stigma, most abortion stories remain untold. The stories we do tell of abortion are often told to morally recuperate the status of the woman who has an abortion through a recourse to tragedy. Tragedy frames experiences where every choice produces some suffering, so decisions are geared toward maintaining individual integrity rather than adherence to absolute moral truths.

Abstract:

Objectives The purpose of this study is to understand meaning of my own experience by exploring the experiences of post-traumatic disability experienced in adulthood with autobiographical narrative inquiry. Methods Research puzzle was built what life story do I form when it comes to experiencing post-traumatic disability. Based on data such as my own memories, diaries and memos, I reconstructed the narrative in consideration of the three-dimensional narrative exploration space, “Temporality, Sociality, and Place”. The meaning of the experience was derived according to the narrative explo

Abstract:

ABSTRACTWe examined recalled narratives of boys with fragile X syndrome with autism spectrum disorder (FXS-ASD; N = 28) and without ASD (FXS-O; N = 29), and compared them to those of boys with Down syndrome (N = 33) and typically developing (TD) boys (N = 39). Narratives were scored for mentions of macrostructural story grammar elements (introduction, relationship, initiating events, internal response, attempts/actions, and ending). We found that narrative recall is predicted by short-term memory and nonverbal mental age levels in almost all groups (except TD), but not by expressive syntax or

Abstract:

This comparative study of “madness” applies David Mitchell’s concept of “narrative prosthesis,” by which is meant that “disability has been used throughout history as a crutch on which literary narratives lean for their representational power,” to Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë and Wittgenstein’s Nephew by the Austrian writer Thomas Bernhard. In particular, it examines the ways in which cognitive disability in one character is instrumental in the development and success of other characters’ undertakings, and argues that the treatment of madness highlights first and foremost the two novels’ emph

Abstract:

The historical and political significance underlying the narratives of the disabled victims has remained largely unacknowledged since the marginal position occupied by the victims within the mainstream popular understanding of the Holocaust has been undermined. Moreover, the act of legitimizing the survivor testimonies has resulted in the de facto marginalization of their memories within the discourse of Holocaust and Memory Studies. The study attempts to interrogate the post war memory cultures of the Nazi euthanasia in Ann Clare LeZotte’s T4: a Novel in Verse and Yuko Tsushima’s

Abstract:

The representation of disabled individuals in museum spaces worldwide has sparked substantial debate in recent decades. It has become increasingly evident that disabled people’s lives and experiences have been overlooked, under/misrepresented in museum narratives, or as museum professionals and academics have highlighted, ‘buried in the footnotes’ of history. Museums can either challenge or continue such exclusion through their actions. This marginalization of disabled people from our present museums narratives contributes to the perpetuation of prejudice and systematic biases that reinforce t
