Building on these disciplines, it offers readings of memoirs and novels that address the consequences of stigmatization and the bodily dimensions of social differences. The texts include Robert F. Murphy's \u003ci\u003eThe Body Silent\u003c\/i\u003e, Simi Linton's \u003ci\u003eMy Body Politic\u003c\/i\u003e, Rod Michalko's \u003ci\u003eThe Two-in-One: Walking with Smokie, Walking with Blindness\u003c\/i\u003e, three memoirs by Stephen Kuusisto, Vincent O. Carter's \u003ci\u003eThe Bern Book\u003c\/i\u003e, as well as two novels, Matthew Griffin's \u003ci\u003eHide\u003c\/i\u003e and Armistead Maupin's \u003ci\u003eMaybe the Moon\u003c\/i\u003e. All of the texts discussed in this book negotiate the significance of bodily and perceptual habits, the influence of language and culture on embodiment, the importance of relationality and community, the severe effects of misrecognition, and the possibilities of emancipation and social recognition. Hence, they are read as pioneering contributions to the emerging field of critical phenomenology.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Simon Dickel\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3030901068\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783030901066\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Palgrave MacMillan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/09\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 209\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.92lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.27h x 5.83w x 0.56d","brand":"Simon Dickel","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43945920430335,"sku":"9783030901066","price":119.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_bc89235a-f647-46c1-9d22-431d1131815a.jpg?v=1681510508","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/embodying-difference-simon-dickel-9783030901066","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
