Drawing on his personal history with thyroid cancer and a paralyzed vocal cord, Sterne undertakes a political phenomenology of impairment in which experience is understood from the standpoint of a subject that is not fully able to account for itself. He conceives of impairment as a fundamental dimension of human experience, examining it as both political and physical. While some impairments are enshrined as normal in international standards, others are treated as causes or effects of illness or disability. Alongside his fractured account of experience, Sterne provides a tour of alternative vocal technologies and practices; a study of "normal" hearing loss as a cultural practice rather than a medical problem; and an intertwined history and phenomenology of fatigue that follows the concept as it careens from people, to materials science, to industrial management, to spoons. Sterne demonstrates how impairment is a problem, opportunity, and occasion for approaching larger questions about disability, subjectivity, power, technology, and experience in new ways. Diminished Faculties ends with a practical user's guide to impairment theory"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Sociology of disability. 650 0 $a Disabilities $x Philosophy. 650 0 $a Disabilities $x Social aspects. 650 0 $a Voice disorders. 650 0 $a Phenomenology. 650 7 $a SOCIAL SCIENCE / People with Disabilities. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a SOCIAL SCIENCE / Media Studies. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Phenomenology. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01060522 650 7 $a Sociology of disability. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01123936 650 7 $a Voice disorders. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01168760 776 08 $i Online version: $a Sterne, Jonathan, 1970- $t Diminished faculties. $d Durham : Duke University Press, 2021 $z 9781478022329 $w (DLC) 2021013327 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20230517010853.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=4F01C4CADCB911EC8436229451ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
