Synopsis

Does disability have a history? International Disability History fills the void between historiography and disability studies; it assumes that phenomena of embodied difference are contingent. This book introduces the German-language discourse of the new historical subdiscipline. Discusses conceptual foundations and methodological questions of disability history. Exemplary case studies outline the research field and address scientific constructions and subjective experiences, institutions and policies, body, art, and culture. A fundamental introduction to undergraduate and master degree programs as well as the public interested in the subject.
