Yet the understanding, depiction, and representation of disability is also clearly in a process of transformation. This volume analyzes that transformation, taking a close look at attitudes toward disability, understood as a "deviation" from what a non-disabled body should ostensibly be able to do and how it should look, in historical and contemporary German-speaking contexts. The volume begins with an overview of the emergence and growth of disability studies in German-speaking Europe against the background of the field's emergence a decade or so earlier in the US and UK. The differences in timing, methodology, and research concentrations bring into focus how each cultural context has shaped the field. Building on recent scholarship that uses a cultural studies approach, the volume's three sections analyze disability and ability constructs in history, memory, and culture. The essays in the history section examine the emotions, morality, and power as they are negotiated on the individual level. Those in the memory section grapple with the origins of the Nazi persecution of people with disabilities, the fight for recognition of this genocide, and the politics of its commemoration. Finally, the culture section offers close readings of disability in literary and filmic texts from the twentieth and twenty-first centuries"-- |cProvided by publisher. 650 0 Discrimination against people with disabilities |zGermany |xHistory. 650 0 People with disabilities |xGovernment policy |zGermany |xHistory. 650 6 Personnes handicapées |0(CaQQLa)201-0063084 |xPolitique gouvernementale |0(CaQQLa)201-0377503 |zAllemagne |0(CaQQLa)201-0392817 |xHistoire. |0(CaQQLa)201-0378888 650 6 Discrimination à l'égard des personnes handicapées |0(CaQQLa)201-0218664 |zAllemagne |0(CaQQLa)201-0392817 |xHistoire. |0(CaQQLa)201-0378888 650 7 Discrimination against people with disabilities. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00895020 650 7 People with disabilities |xGovernment policy. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01057285 651 7 Germany. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01210272 655 7 History. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01411628 700 1 Leskau, Linda, |d1985- |eeditor. 700 1 Nusser, Tanja, |eeditor. 700 1 Sorrels, Katherine, |eeditor. 776 08 |iOnline version: |tDisability in German-speaking Europe |dRochester, NY : Camden House, 2022 |z9781800105850 |w(DLC) 2021059209 830 0 Studies in German literature, linguistics, and culture ; |v229. 910 |cG0601mon |d3110-07 |gYBP |h348077 914 (OCoLC)on1288196007 |bOCoLC |cmatch |d20221117 |eprocessed |f1288196007 980 17759623 |i99.00 |j81.18 |n40031177959 982 |cf |q32101118798428 986 |hHV1559.G3 |iD57 2022
