商品描述
Placing Disability presents an international collection of personal essays that address the experience of disability in particular geographical locations. Each chapter engages the question of what it means to be disabled in a specific place, exploring issues of movement, work and play, community and activism, artistic production, love and marriage, access and social services, family and friendship, memory and aging--all informed by the places that people inhabit. The book is organized in terms of topographies and vistas, rather than being bound by the map, to emphasize the defining, constitutive effects of place. The authors included in Placing Disability hail from different countries, neighborhoods, climates, and landscapes; from various backgrounds and professions; from a range of disciplinary perspectives and strategies. They are trained as academics, literary critics, poets, students, public speakers, memoirists, educators, philosophers, administrators, and activists. Their essays refine our understanding of the complex dynamic between self and circumstance as they survey the impact of geographical region on their life experiences. This book is intended to be useful in creative-writing workshops, Disability Studies seminars, and classes on environmental literature, and to appeal to general readers of memoir as well as to scholars of contemporary body theory or the Anthropocene.

《身心障礙的地理》呈現了一系列國際性的個人隨筆，探討在特定地理位置上身心障礙的經驗。每一章都探討在特定地方身心障礙的意義，深入研究移動、工作與遊戲、社區與行動主義、藝術創作、愛情與婚姻、可及性與社會服務、家庭與友誼、記憶與老化等議題，這些都受到人們所居住地點的影響。這本書的組織方式是根據地形和視野，而不是受地圖的限制，以強調地點的定義性和構成性影響。《身心障礙的地理》中的作者來自不同的國家、社區、氣候和地貌；擁有各種背景和職業；來自不同的學科視角和策略。他們的專業包括學者、文學評論家、詩人、學生、公共演講者、回憶錄作家、教育者、哲學家、行政人員和行動主義者。他們的隨筆深化了我們對自我與環境之間複雜動態的理解，並調查地理區域對他們生活經驗的影響。本書旨在為創意寫作工作坊、身心障礙研究研討會和環境文學課程提供幫助，並吸引一般回憶錄讀者以及當代身體理論或人類世的學者。
