Having lived for a time as a stray, Luna insists on having access to the out-of-doors, where she acts out her instincts as a hunter, despite the presence of larger predators. Her behaviors have given us new perspectives on and knowledge of our natural surroundings. At the same time, Luna has made our house her home, exploring every nook and cranny, serving as a live-in wake-up service, organizing our daily lives around her needs, and entertaining us with her feline idiosyncrasies.

The disabilities covered are mostly physical, but psychological/psychiatric conditions, developmental/intellectual impairments, and addiction are also included. While most are written by disabled persons themselves, a small number of biographies and family memoirs (such as those written by parents or spouses) were included when the advisory board felt they were important contributions to communicating the disability experience.<br /><br />The works date from as early as 1470 to as recent as 2018.

Having lived for a time as a stray, Luna insists on having access to the out-of-doors, where she acts out her instincts as a hunter, despite the presence of larger predators. Her behaviors have given us new perspectives on and knowledge of our natural surroundings. At the same time, Luna has made our house her home, exploring every nook and cranny, serving as a live-in wake-up service, organizing our daily lives around her needs, and entertaining us with her feline idiosyncrasies. Chapter titles include: "The Adoption Process," "The Morning Regimen," "Luna the Hunter," "Idiosyncratic Behaviors," "Luna vs. the Rag Rug," "Conehead: Luna in Rehab," "Luna Meets her Match, and More," "At the Cat Spa," "The Winter from Hell," and "Conclusion: Felinity and Felicity." Illustrated with snapshots.

we are all vulnerable subjects. So it might seem natural and inevitable that the most universal, most democratic form of literature, autobiography, should address these common features of human experience. And yet self-life writing has reckoned with embodiment only relatively recently. In the Western tradition, we can date first-person life writing about illness and disability (which I have named autosomatography) from classic texts like John Donne's Devotions upon Emergent Occasions, and Several Steps in My Sickness (1624) and the essays of Michel de Montaigne. But such texts are rare-few and chronologically far between-until well after the birth of the clinic in the eighteenth century. Granted, in the United States, the post-Civil War period saw a flurry of narratives of institutionalisation by former mental patients, a subgenre that adapted older American life writing genres, the captivity narrative and the slave narrative, to protest the injustice of the confinement of those deemed insane. But for the most part, autobiographical writing expressive of illness and disability remained quite uncommon until the second half of the twentieth century, when it flourished concurrently with successive civil rights movements. Women's liberation, with its signature manifesto Our Bodies Ourselves, supported the breast cancer narrative; the gay rights movement encouraged AIDS narrative in response to a deadly epidemic; and the disability rights movement stimulated a surge in narratives of various disabilities. Conversely, the narratives helped to advance the respective rights movements. Such writing, then, has been representative in two senses of the term: aesthetic (mimetic) and political (acting on behalf of). It has done, and continues to do, important cultural work. Academics began to pay attention to these subgenres of autosomatography only around 1990. Although I was hardly aware of it at the time, I realise in retrospect that my interest in illness narrative had autobiographical stimuli. My mother survived breast cancer in her fifties only to succumb to ovarian cancer at the age of 64, in 1974, when I was a graduate student; a cousin my age died of breast cancer several years later. So I was intimately acquainted with stories I thought deserving of inscription and publication. For that and other reasons, as memoirs of illness and disability proliferated in the 1980s, I became convinced they were a significant new form of life writing, worthy of scholarly scrutiny. Though not a scholar of British literature, nor a devotee of Virginia Woolf, when I stumbled on Woolf's marvellous essay 'On Being Ill', I was struck by its recognition of 'how tremendous [is] the spiritual change that [illness] brings, how astonishing when the lights of health go down, the undiscovered countries that are then disclosed' (9) and by its related claim that, 'considering how common illness is … it becomes strange indeed that illness has not taken its place … among the prime themes of literature' (9).","publication_date":{"day":null,"month":null,"year":2016,"errors":{}},"publication_name":"Life Writing","grobid_abstract_attachment_id":99602796},"translated_abstract":null,"internal_url":"https://www.academia.edu/98181456/Body_Language_Illness_Disability_and_Life_Writing","translated_internal_url":"","created_at":"2023-03-08T14:53:47.928-08:00","section":"Papers","preview_url":null,"current_user_can_edit":true,"current_user_is_owner":true,"owner_id":21736,"coauthors_can_edit":true,"document_type":"paper","co_author_tags":[],"downloadable_attachments":[{"id":99602796,"title":"","file_type":"pdf","scribd_thumbnail_url":"https://attachments.academia-assets.com/99602796/thumbnails/1.jpg","file_name":"article536.pdf","download_url":"https://www.academia.edu/attachments/99602796/download_file?st=MTczMjgyMjg1MCw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&","bulk_download_file_name":"Body_Language_Illness_Disability_and_Lif.pdf","bulk_download_url":"https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/99602796/article536-libre.pdf?1678317065=\u0026response-content-disposition=attachment%3B+filename%3DBody_Language_Illness_Disability_and_Lif.pdf\u0026Expires=1732816495\u0026Signature=GFSg4Q-4Pi5X3ax-KZ1Cfe~VWxvsaNrcmNHuhz4M3r4btapUN4aDNNDLdKWWR8puP1mywbwB-JONhZ4~l8BK4UT-qHUUY51MyYyh7L57FYvV3~4zsLejynzjso5PBs0SbqsQqyERdUnGYA3Tvgr~wkzjgWTYhhOCAdPjTFYtJ9yls4Pyh2G3ZVr2Lw9JxeKOGeLJ6TupVGwzJVgYvTspG1Iww5Bl9QvPQ3DA22KZVtjr-nZ3Y1X~MJWUb2W8n-wsLhQeyWayRZWiXgGLq06VXAXIJlech9l6c-tHhOy6kDUUdQlobeFlrsFvntxtkmgC~rSEfhXhkRnpiPA-N38y~w__\u0026Key-Pair-Id=APKAJLOHF5GGSLRBV4ZA"}],"slug":"Body_Language_Illness_Disability_and_Life_Writing","translated_slug":"","page_count":9,"language":"en","content_type":"Work","owner":{"id":21736,"first_name":"G.

Disability has its own history (or histories) and culture(s) which deserve to be studied in their own right. Disability Studies is not limited to the study of disabled people as a distinct population, however; rather, it involves the comprehensive investigation of disability as a cultural construct that undergirds social practices and cultural representations. As contemporary Disability Studies scholars view it, then, disability is a significant and powerful cultural category; like race and gender, disability is a cultural construct that assigns traits to individuals-and discriminates among them-on the basis of bodily differences. Today, disabled people, long vulnerable to prejudicial representation in high and low culture, are challenging conventional assumptions by representing themselves in memoir and autobiography.","publication_date":{"day":null,"month":null,"year":2005,"errors":{}},"publication_name":"Ilha Do Desterro a Journal of English Language Literatures in English and Cultural Studies","grobid_abstract_attachment_id":88193193},"translated_abstract":null,"internal_url":"https://www.academia.edu/82504599/Disability_as_diversity_a_difference_with_a_difference","translated_internal_url":"","created_at":"2022-07-02T16:18:05.373-07:00","section":"Papers","preview_url":null,"current_user_can_edit":true,"current_user_is_owner":true,"owner_id":21736,"coauthors_can_edit":true,"document_type":"paper","co_author_tags":[],"downloadable_attachments":[{"id":88193193,"title":"","file_type":"pdf","scribd_thumbnail_url":"https://attachments.academia-assets.com/88193193/thumbnails/1.jpg","file_name":"6748.pdf","download_url":"https://www.academia.edu/attachments/88193193/download_file?st=MTczMjgyMjg1MCw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&","bulk_download_file_name":"Disability_as_diversity_a_difference_wit.pdf","bulk_download_url":"https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/88193193/6748-libre.pdf?1656804092=\u0026response-content-disposition=attachment%3B+filename%3DDisability_as_diversity_a_difference_wit.pdf\u0026Expires=1732816495\u0026Signature=LwY7dZb19m5MVP4MGt1yFVH5Th2uRP4Fk0eOFOOr1OqQGoh9ARQn-cgsTyq5pPuPMHcxRNHtB8u4vKuzFwhEVYd9NNkyNdHOXo63FFVCVarsVfdDgl-bgpoA9t9TIvHghcDyh2MlClAssL7zrDuc0RkvAzMP0hzk10jIluOW44j1TE-1ovvO6gvYR2d-uxJLOY0cyvAtwjx6qoGXVfLKV73hSMpVQ1cm8M3xGpKUz4VT-Rtd7Ldt268hOGYnv5o9ThQtB4HSzosdwmoTvwb9hThHD6K4fpTrg~4YI90k9DmoVVUKlnqHYm2HYyE-RfXNy18sdbP69FXJN3zvd9TIWw__\u0026Key-Pair-Id=APKAJLOHF5GGSLRBV4ZA"}],"slug":"Disability_as_diversity_a_difference_with_a_difference","translated_slug":"","page_count":19,"language":"en","content_type":"Work","owner":{"id":21736,"first_name":"G.

It is more often recognized in terms of access and inclusion than in terms of curriculum and academic programs. Disability has its own history (or histories) and culture(s) which deserve to be studied in their own right, and disability ought to be a prominent constituent of a fully multicultural curriculum. Disability Studies is not solely or primarily the study of disabled people as a distinct population, however; rather, it involves the comprehensive investigation of disability as a cultural construct that undergirds social practices and cultural representations in various media. As contemporary Disability Studies scholars view it, then, disability is a significant and powerful cultural category; like race and gender, disability is a cultural construct (or system of representation) that assigns traits to individuals--and discriminates among them--on the basis of bodily differences.","grobid_abstract_attachment_id":38541853},"translated_abstract":null,"internal_url":"https://www.academia.edu/15103454/Proposal_for_a_Disability_Studies_Minor_at_Hofstra","translated_internal_url":"","created_at":"2015-08-22T08:02:58.241-07:00","section":"Teaching Documents","preview_url":null,"current_user_can_edit":true,"current_user_is_owner":true,"owner_id":21736,"coauthors_can_edit":true,"document_type":"teaching_document","co_author_tags":[],"downloadable_attachments":[{"id":38541853,"title":"","file_type":"doc","scribd_thumbnail_url":"https://attachments.academia-assets.com/38541853/thumbnails/1.jpg","file_name":"DSMINOR.RTF","download_url":"https://www.academia.edu/attachments/38541853/download_file?st=MTczMjgyMjg1MCw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&","bulk_download_file_name":"Proposal_for_a_Disability_Studies_Minor.doc","bulk_download_url":"https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/38541853/DSMINOR.RTF?1440255693=\u0026response-content-disposition=attachment%3B+filename%3DProposal_for_a_Disability_Studies_Minor.doc\u0026Expires=1732816498\u0026Signature=ah9JjD~4Hpvq1Rwt~6yA1C6bjZ57pFKkFpm71Ig5zAAyp6XooDPOaQltSPzwBhrz39opoK~DKOdCQDx3CWbgUbCwzcqbSxmQF3Zee3Mv6JsU~c997hJ8ci1o97ST8luzBC83PcYswPt5WVzK4ByEIfw20t1bLdN5jlravnQPNr95Pel3J1nXlCIcjLGfShsmeK2o25WtRL0HoZMbrenF3pnRxuTYSaaFcjVk3tiy2fJqGXA56E1JS92kCGfbUax6vZ9vAs3T7HouVWnuH29qLTMWgyCvMFJKRbsLhlsOMvC4lwtLY4ayGyKWHqGeqiAIyTNcBKdIkEBon6XvoFhhFw__\u0026Key-Pair-Id=APKAJLOHF5GGSLRBV4ZA"}],"slug":"Proposal_for_a_Disability_Studies_Minor_at_Hofstra","translated_slug":"","page_count":5,"language":"en","content_type":"Work","owner":{"id":21736,"first_name":"G.
