The volume offers a selection of texts by numerous specialists in different areas of the humanities, both well-established scholars and young academics, as well as practitioners and activists from the USA, the UK, Poland, Ireland, and Greece. Taking inspiration from Critical Disability Studies and Jacques Rancière’s philosophy, the book critically engages with the changing modes of disability representation in contemporary cultures. It sheds light both on inspirations and continuities as well as tensions and conflicts within contemporary disability studies, fostering new understandings of human diversity and contributing to a dissensual ferment of thought in the academia, arts, and activism.     Contributors are: Rosemarie Garland-Thomson, Dan Goodley, Marek Mackiewicz-Ziccardi, Małgorzata Sugiera, David T. Mitchell, Sharon L. Snyder, Maria Tsakiri, Murray K. Simpson, James Casey, Agnieszka Izdebska, Edyta Lorek-Jezińska, Dorota Krzemińska, Jolanta Rzeźnicka-Krupa, Wiktoria Siedlecka-Dorosz, Katarzyna Ojrzyńska, Christian O’Reilly, and Len Collin.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Acknowledgements   Illustrations   Abbreviations   Notes on Contributors    Disability and Dissensus   Katarzyna Ojrzyńska and Maciej Wieczorek     Part 1 (Re)Defining Models of Disability and Normalcy: Theories and Contexts     1 Critical Disability Studies in the Humanities   Rosemarie Garland-Thomson and Katarzyna Ojrzyńska     2 Critical Disability Studies: Sketches from Poland and the UK   Dan Goodley and Marek Mackiewicz-Ziccardi     3 Making Sense of Bodies: Models and Metaphors in Sciences and Arts   Małgorzata Sugiera     Part 2 Disability Film Festivals: The Politics of Representation and Participation     4 Disability Cinema: Charting Alternative Ethical Maps of Living on Film   David T.
