Building on these disciplines, it offers readings of memoirs and novels that address the consequences of stigmatization and the bodily dimensions of social differences. The texts include Robert F. Murphy’s \u003ci\u003eThe Body Silent\u003c\/i\u003e, Simi Linton’s \u003ci\u003eMy Body Politic\u003c\/i\u003e, Rod Michalko’s \u003ci\u003eThe Two-in-One: Walking with Smokie, Walking with Blindness\u003c\/i\u003e, three memoirs by Stephen Kuusisto, Vincent O. Carter’s \u003ci\u003eThe Bern Book\u003c\/i\u003e, as well as two novels, Matthew Griffin’s \u003ci\u003eHide\u003c\/i\u003e and Armistead Maupin’s \u003ci\u003eMaybe the Moon\u003c\/i\u003e. All of the texts discussed in this book negotiate the significance of bodily and perceptual habits, the influence of language and culture on embodiment, the importance of relationality and community, the severe effects of misrecognition, and the possibilities of emancipation and social recognition. Hence, they are read as pioneering contributions to the emerging field of critical phenomenology.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1 Introduction\u003cp\u003e2 Disability and Embodiment \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e3 Blindness and Perception \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e4 Blackness and Visibility \u003c\/p\u003e  5 Gayness and Invisibility \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer Nature Switzerland AG","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51043567468887,"sku":"9783030901066","price":85.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9783030901066.jpg?v=1750958708","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/embodying-difference-critical-phenomenology-and-narratives-of-disability-race-and-sexuality-9783030901066","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
