Medical humanities and disability studies are disciplines at the cutting edge of innovative critical work in the study of health and disability, but to date there has been no book-length examination of the relationship between the two. Although each has emerged from different heritages, they share many features, from discussing the complexities of embodiment, identifying processes of exclusion and championing user participation, to a commitment to new forms of critical writing. In/Disciplines explores the connections between the two disciplines in detail. It presents a series of provocations about how they interact, the forms their practice take, and their strengths and weaknesses as working methods. With a focus on life stories that give accounts of health and disability experiences, it mixes creative and critical writing in an accessible manner aimed at a wide audience in both Medical Humanities and Disability Studies, and across new humanities more widely. The book asserts that both disciplines need to evaluate and challenge core assumptions if they are to remain critically relevant in the evolving study of social and cultural understanding of health and disability.

A travers de nombreux entretiens avec des personnes handicapées, P. Dufour analyse la façon dont leur discours traduit la perception que celles-ci ont de leur corps. Il aborde le rapport des hommes handicapés à la virilité à travers l'étude du phénomène du handisport et de la question de l'assistance sexuelle.

The Oxford Handbook of Music and Disability Studies represents a comprehensive state of current research for the field of Disability Studies and Music. The forty-two chapters in the book span a wide chronological and geographical range, from the biblical, the medieval, and the Elizabethan, through the canonical classics of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, up to modernist styles and contemporary musical theater and popular genres, with stops along the way in post-Civil War America, Ghana and the South Pacific, and many other interesting times and places. Disability is a broad, heterogeneous, and porous identity, and that diversity is reflected in the variety of bodily conditions under discussion here, including autism and intellectual disability, deafness, blindness, mobility impairment often coupled with bodily difference, and cognitive and intellectual impairments. Amid this diversity of time, place, style, medium, and topic, the chapters share two core commitments. First, they are united in their theoretical and methodological connection to Disability Studies, especially its central idea that disability is a social and cultural construction. Disability both shapes and is shaped by culture, including musical culture. Second, these essays individually and collectively make the case that disability is not something at the periphery of culture and music, but something central to our art and to our humanity [Publisher description]. Like race, gender, and sexuality, disability is a social and cultural construction. Music, musicians, and music-making simultaneously embody and shape representations and narratives of disability. Disability - culturally stigmatised minds and bodies - is one of the things that music in all times and places can be said to be about.

Comment le champ du handicap s’est-il historiquement et socialement construit dans les sociétés occidentales ? Quel type d’expériences le handicap produit il ? Quelles mobilisations suscite-t-il ? Quel type de recherches et quels courants de pensées recouvrent les disability studies ? Quels traitements politiques les sociétés donnent-elles aux personnes dites handicapées ? Comment vivent-elles aujourd’hui à l’école, au travail, en famille, en milieu « ordinaire » ou en institutions spécialisées ? Voici quelques-unes des nombreuses questions que se posent tous ceux qui s’intéressent au handicap et que cet ouvrage propose d’éclairer. Depuis une quarantaine d’années, le handicap est en effet devenu un objet d’études à part entière des sciences humaines et sociales, de la sociologie en particulier. Les recherches ont permis de mieux comprendre l’objet socio-politique « handicap » et d’en cerner les contours instables. Mais elles ont aussi ouvert de nouvelles pistes et catégories d’analyse pour penser nos sociétés contemporaines à l’épreuve de la diversité. Elles montrent que la fonctionnalité des corps et des esprits touche au cœur des questions de justice sociale. Ce manuel propose un panorama clair et synthétique des études consacrées au handicap en soulignant à la fois les situations concrètes qu’il recouvre et ses enjeux politiques et sociaux. Pour les étudiants, chercheurs et enseignants en sociologie, anthropologie, sciences sociales, santé publique et ceux des professions (para)médicales et médico-sociales.
