Disability and Social Representations Theory provides theoretical
and methodological knowledge to uncover the public perception of
disabilities. Over the last decade there has been a significant
shift from body to environment, and the relation between the two,
when understanding the phenomenon of disabilities. The current
trend is to view disabilities as the outcome of this interaction;
in short from a biopsychosocial perspective. This has called for
research based on frameworks that incorporate both the body and the
environment. There is a great corpus of knowledge of the functions
of a body, and a growing corpus of environmental factors such as
perceptions among specific groups of persons towards disabilities.
However, there is a lack of knowledge of the perception of
disabilities from a general population. This book offers an insight
into how we can broaden our understanding of disability by using
Social Representations Theory, with specific examples from studies
on hearing loss. The authors highlight that attitudes and actions
are outcomes of a more fundamental disposition (i.e., social
representation) towards a phenomenon like disability. This book is
written assuming the reader has no prior knowledge of Social
Representations Theory. It will be of interest to all scholars,
students and professionals working in the fields of disability
studies, health and social care, and sociology.
