Zusammenfassung
Dieser Band initiiert einen systematischen Dialog zwischen anglophonen und kontinentaleuropäischen Perspektiven der literatur- und kulturwissenschaftlichen Disability Studies. Die zwölf Beiträge aus dem DFG-Netzwerk „Inklusive Philogie" zeigen, wie Behinderung nicht nur als Thema, sondern als grundlegende Kategorie literarischer und kultureller Form funktioniert. Durch die Verbindung verschiedener methodischer Ansätze – von phänomenologischen Analysen bis zur Diskursanalyse – entstehen innovative theoretische Rahmen für die Analyse verkörperter Differenz. Der Band richtet sich an Literatur- und Kulturwissenschaftler:innen sowie an alle, die sich für transdisziplinäre und interkulturelle Disability Studies interessieren.
Mit Beiträgen von Mona Baie | Jenny Bergenmar | Klaus Birnstiel | Harriet Cooper | Evelyn Dueck | David Feeney | Johannes Görbert | Martina King | Linda Leskau | Stuart Murray | Swaantje Otto | Tom Shakespeare
