In the last 30 years, a distinctive intersection between disability
studies - including disability rights advocacy, disability rights
activism, and disability law - and disability arts, culture, and
media studies has developed. The two fields have worked in tandem
to offer critique of representations of disability in dominant
cultural systems, institutions, discourses, and architecture, and
develop provocative new representations of what it means to be
disabled. Divided into 5 sections: Disability, Identity, and
Representation Inclusion, Wellbeing, and Whole-of-life Experience
Access, Artistry, and Audiences Practices, Politics and the Public
Sphere Activism, Adaptation, and Alternative Futures this handbook
brings disability arts, disability culture, and disability media
studies - traditionally treated separately in publications in the
field to date - together for the first time. It provides scholars,
graduate students, upper level undergraduate students, and others
interested in the disability rights agenda with a broad-based,
practical and accessible introduction to key debates in the field
of disability art, culture, and media studies. An internationally
recognised selection of authors from around the world come together
to articulate the theories, issues, interests, and practices that
have come to define the field. Most critically, this book includes
commentaries that forecast the pressing present and future concerns
for the field as scholars, advocates, activists, and artists work
to make a more inclusive society a reality.
