Abstract:

I explore some of the ways in which intellectual disability (learning disability) is depicted in fiction. My premise is that literature both reflects and shapes societal attitudes to people in this vulnerable minority group. People with intellectual disabilities are seldom able to determine, confirm or counter narratives about themselves. This situation, in which the subject is fundamentally unable to participate in their representation, raises unique ethical considerations. I use examples from various English-language novels to discuss how subjective accounts, observable behaviours and physic

Abstract:

   The author analyzes the images of disability in science fiction literary and film. She begins by identifying areas common to science fiction–disability studies–posthumanism. She goes on to argue that in science fiction we can find stereotypical images of people with disabilities, which are based on a culturally established dichotomy: healthy, functional (as normal) versus disabled (as abnormal), and such performances that escape this dichotomy and normalization. The author distinguishes several approaches to presenting disability in science fiction: hypervisibility combine

The aim of the article is to try to evaluate actions taken by the country, which are supposed to change the image of public administration perceived as an employer, who refuses to employ people with disabilities or whose only motivation is to avoid being charged with contribution to PERON.

In the first place, the author will try to establish whether the actions taken by the country in order to remove barriers to employing people with disabilities were also effective with organs, which are its emancipation.

The views aimed at the stability of socialization are analyzed, paying attention to the peculiarities of psychophysical development of students with intellectual disabilities, which leads to a weakening of socialization. Difficulty in socialization depends on the presence of a navigator of mispersonal communication, unformed needs in such communication, inadequacy of self-esteem, negative perception of other people. It is noted that the effectiveness of primary socialization of students with intellectual disabilities affects the formation of its components: socio-psychological adaptation and e

Short stories as part of the literature play a significant role in portraying the human lifestyle, including the image of disabilities. Studying the portrayal of disabled people in literature becomes significant to consider the need to change the illustration of disabilities in fiction.

Abstract Nathaniel Hawthorne’s The Birthmark offers a sharp lens through which to examine power, purity, and personal identity. Scientist and spiritual idealist, Aylmer, is obsessed with “correcting” the only flaw he perceives in his wife Georgina, the imprint of a small red hand on her pale cheek. For Alymer, this one “imperfection” reaches deep into Georgina’s heart, a sign of sin, decay, and mortality. It is the natural that must be overcome with science. Drawing on Hawthorne’s tragic fiction, this paper questions the influence of stigma, power dynamics, and mind-body dualism in constructin

The article intersects disability studies, phenomenology and film studies in an analysis of the disabled body in Elliot’s claymations and the crip ethics they may evoke in spectators.

Abstract:

This paper illuminates the potential of diversely embodied sporting cultures to challenge ableism, the ideology of ability. Ableism constructs the able body as conditional to a life worth living, thus devaluing all those perceived as ‘dis’-abled. This hegemonic ideology develops into a ‘logic of practice’ through a cultural appropriation of body’s lived complexity, by reducing it to symbolic dichotomies (able/disabled). The path to challenge ableism is then to restore body’s complexity, by turning attention toward its lived embodied existence. Drawing upon an ethnographic study of a sitting vo

The rights of collectives have been widely if not conclusively explored within international law, but Hohfeld's ‘field’ approach to legal relations enables the scrutiny of the range of relations, including immunities, liberties, powers

Abstract:

Since 1982, the American Horticultural Therapy Assn. (AHTA) has devoted a significant portion of its organizational energies to promoting the employment of people with disabilities in the horticultural industry. Since then, the AHTA has administered five federal grants, resulting in the employment of 2269 people with disabilities. This paper summarizes the data generated through these activities and presents program findings.
