Publisher Description This book examines the relationship between contemporary cultural representations of disabled children on the one hand, and disability as a personal experience of internalised oppression on the other. In focalising this debate through an exploration of the politically and emotionally charged figure of the disabled child, Harriet Cooper raises questions both about what it means to speak for the other and about what resistance means when one is unknowingly invested in ones own abjection. Drawing on both the authors personal experience of growing up with a physical impairment and on a range of critical theories and cultural objects – from Frances Hodgson Burnetts novel The Secret Garden to Judith Butlers work on injurious speech – the book theorises the making of disabled and rehabilitated subjectivities. With a conceptual framework informed by both psychoanalysis and critical disability studies, it investigates the ways in which cultural anxieties about disability come to be embodied and lived by the disabled child. Posing new questions for disability studies and for identity politics about the relationships between lived experiences, cultural representations and dominant discourses – and demonstrating a new approach to the concept of internalised oppression – this book will be of interest to scholars and students of disability studies, medical humanities, sociology and psychosocial studies, as well as to those with an interest in identity politics more generally. Author Biography Harriet Cooper is currently Senior Research Associate in Health and Medical Humanities at the University of East Anglia, UK. Having worked across both critical disability studies and health sociology, she is interested in how (inter)disciplinarity imagines itself and polices its operations, as well as in the ways in which concepts of inclusivity, involvement and democracy animate and shape academic agendas. The themes of disability and emancipation connect all of Harriets work to date, yet as a methodologist she continues to be irked by the question of how best to combine academia and activism.
