Abstract

Depuis plus de 40 ans, Henri-Jacques Stiker est un observateur du monde du handicap. Dans ce recueil de textes, de conférences données sur le sujet, il esquisse une réflexion globale sur la condition handicapée. En choisissant le terme de « condition », l'auteur s'éloigne d'une définition du handicap ou d'une approche catégorielle. La condition handicapée est une manière d'être-au-monde, d'être avec les autres, de se situer et d'entretenir des liens, comme on évoque la condition féminine ou la condition ouvrière. L'auteur présente un certain nombre de formes que prend le handicap durant la Révolution française, dans les classifications du XIXe siècle ou dans celles récentes de l'Organisation mondiale de la santé, dans les textes législatifs ou réglementaires, dans les études sur les outsiders. À travers ses analyses critiques, il développe une réflexion nouvelle sur la place du handicap. Toujours ambivalente et source de malaise social, la condition handicapée peut avoir aujourd'hui un avenir inédit en contribuant pleinement aux débats de société afin d'y apporter la richesse de la parole et de l'expérience des personnes concernées.

Abstract

"This impressively honest book explores the effects a challenging disability or illness can have on the mind and personal relationships, and how friends, family and professionals can help. Illness or disability can isolate people by creating vast differences in their experiences where previously there were none. Friends and family can find themselves saying the wrong thing or awkwardly avoiding topics as a result. This book takes a candid look at how discomfort caused by an illness can strain a relationship between partners, families and professionals, as well as how understanding feelings of guilt or shame can transform a situation or relationship. The insights and advice offered in this book can help children and adolescents overcome anxiousness caused by a parent's condition, improve communication between partners and family members, and increase professionals' awareness of how a client feels about their situation." -- Publisher's description

Abstract

The Routledge History of Disability explores the shifting attitudes towards and representations of disabled people from the age of antiquity to the twenty-first century. Taking an international view of the subject, this wide-ranging collection shows that the history of disability cuts across racial, ethnic, religious, cultural, gender and class divides, highlighting the commonalities and differences between the experiences of disabled persons in global historical context.The book is arranged in four parts, covering histories of disabilities across various time periods and cultures, histories of national disability policies, programs and services, histories of education and training and the ways in which disabled people have been seen and treated in the last few decades. Within this, the twenty-eight chapters discuss topics such as developments in disability issues during the late Ottoman period, the history of disability in Belgian Congo in the early twentieth century, blind asylums in nineteenth-century Scotland and the systematic killing of disabled children in Nazi Germany.Illustrated with images and tables and providing an overview of how various countries, cultures and societies have addressed disability over time, this comprehensive volume offers a global perspective on this rapidly growing field and is a valuable resource for scholars of disability studies and histories of disabilities.
