Product Description:
Theorizing disability as linguistic artefact has been potent in wrestling atypical embodiment away from its medical deficit prison and repositioning it as a socially and culturally constructed phenomenon. But delimiting communication to discourse, conversation, and humans interacting with humans is incomplete. We propose meaning making and its productions in cultural expectations of development, normalcy, health, and illness as complex interactive discourse communities in which language, object, materiality, and interpretation dance in synergy.
