Product Description:

Ben-Moshe, L. (2011). The Contested meaning of 'Community' in Discourses of Deinstitutionalization and Community Living in the Field of Developmental Disability. Research in Social Science and Disability Vol. 6, Special issue on Disability and Community, pp 241-264 - This paper focuses on notions of community as related to the discourse around ?community living? for people with labels of developmental disabilities, especially as they emerged during and after deinstitutionalization. Following Foucault, this paper asks whether institutionalization and community living should be conceived of as two separate epochs, or as governed by similar logic. The second focus of the paper is in the ways notions of 'community' were evoked by various stakeholders such as parents of children with labels of mental retardation, professionals in the field of developmental disability and those of formerly institutionalized peoples themselves.
