Unlike many who hold the conventional sociological view of disability as a 'lack' or stigmatized identity, Tanya Titchkosky approaches disability as an agentive (not passive) embodiment of liminality and as a demonstration of socially valuable in-between-ness. She argues that disability can and should be a 'teacher' to, and about, non-disabled or 'temporarily abled' society.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTitchkosky's poignant reflections on disability rely on the thought of Hannah Arendt as well as her personal experience as an individual with dyslexia living with a blind partner; she uniquely draws on her own and others' situations in order to demonstrate the sociopolitical character of disability. A thoughtful and cohesive integration of narrative and theory, \u003ci\u003eDisability, Self, and Society\u003c\/i\u003e presents a critical Canadian contribution to the growing subject of disability studies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tanya Titchkosky\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0802084370\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780802084378\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Toronto Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/22\/2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 296\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.02lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.16h x 6.02w x 0.85d","brand":"Tanya Titchkosky","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44076450644223,"sku":"9780802084378","price":53.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_09a00440-26b1-48fe-a910-d43d63ae8fd3.jpg?v=1685465063","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/disability-self-and-society-tanya-titchkosky-9780802084378","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
