It argues that the construction of ability arises through a process of exclusion and forgetting, in which the depiction of sensory information and epistemological judgment subtly (or sometimes un-subtly) elide the fact of embodied subjectivity. The result is what Colangelo calls "the myth of the diaphanous abled body," a fiction that holds that an abled body is one which does not participate in or situate experience. The diaphanous abled body underwrites the myth that abled and disabled constitute two distinct categories of being rather than points on a constantly shifting continuum. n any system of marginalization, the dominant identity always sets itself up as epistemologically and experientially superior to whichever group it separates itself from. Indeed, the norm is always most powerful when it is understood as an empty category or a view from nowhere. Diaphanous Bodies explores the phantom body that underwrites the artificial dichotomy between abled and disabled, upon which the representation of embodied experience depends."-- $c Publisher website 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 195 - 209) and index. 505 00 $g Conclusion: COVID-19 and the Plagues of Absence. $t Unhoused capacities: Elizabeth Bowen's colonial agency -- $t Indolesco ergo sum: language, compulsion, and Beckett's existential pains -- $t Abling self and other: self-sufficiency and gender in George Egerton -- $t Unhoused capacities: Elizabeth Bowen's colonial agency -- $g Conclusion: COVID-19 and the Plagues of Absence. 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 650 0 $a People with disabilities in literature. 650 0 $a Ability. 650 0 $a English literature $x History and criticism. $y 20th century $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Irish literature $y 20th century $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Human body in literature. 650 7 $a Irish literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00979030 650 7 $a Ability. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00794400 650 7 $a English literature $x Irish authors. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00912074 650 7 $a Human body in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01899762 650 7 $a People with disabilities in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01057365 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 776 08 $i Online version: $a Colangelo, Jeremy, 1990- $t Diaphanous bodies. $d Ann Arbor, Michigan : University of Michigan Press, [2021] $z 0472129511 $w (OCoLC)1261764817 830 0 $a Corporealities. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117021447.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=F19A56241DF111EDA8BEF4A423ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
