Drawing on recent work on affect and emotion, the book explores how disability makes us feel, and how those feelings shape interpersonal and fictional encounters. Written in a clear and accessible style, Disability, Literature, Genre offers a timely reflection on the rapidly growing body of scholarship on disability representation, as well as an innovative new theorisation of genre. By reconceptualising genre reading as an affective process, Ria Cheyne establishes genre fiction as a key site of investigation for disability studies. She argues that genre fiction's unique combination of affectivity and reflexivity makes it ideally suited to the production of reflexive representations of disability: representations which encourage the reader to reflect upon what they understand about disability, and potentially to rethink it. Examining the affective-and effective-power of disability representations in a wide range of popular genre fiction, this book will be essential reading for academics in disability studies, literary studies, popular culture studies, and the medical humanities. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 173-199) and index. 650 0 $a Disabilities in literature. 650 0 $a People with disabilities in literature. 650 7 $a Disabilities in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01940210 650 7 $a People with disabilities in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01057365 830 0 $a Representations (Liverpool, England) 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117031853.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=3FEBD7CA072811ED93C2E7E557ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
