Over the past fifty years, design and branding have become omnipotent in the market and have made their way to other domains as well. Given their potential to divide humans into categories and label their worth and value, design and branding can wield immense but currently unharnessed powers of social change. Groups designed as devalued can be undesigned, redesigned and rebranded to seamlessly and equivalently participate in community, work and civic life. This innovative book argues that disability as a concept and category is created, reified, and segregated through current design and brandi

Der Themenschwerpunkt greift Forschungsperspektiven auf Behinderung und chronische Krankheit auf, wie sie seit etwa drei Jahrzehnten in den Disability Studies verfolgt werden. Für die Disability Studies ist die Unterscheidung von individueller Beeinträchtigung (impairment) und gesellschaftlich ausgrenzender Behinderung (disability) zentral. Behinderung wird nicht durch die Beeinträchtigung, sondern als durch die jeweiligen gesellschaftlichen Umstände verursacht verstanden. Aus diesem Forschungsverständnis heraus legen die Disability Studies besonderen Wert darauf, dass behinderte Menschen selbst forschen oder als Lai/innen partizipativ an Forschung beteiligt werden. In dem Themenschwerpunkt sind sieben Beiträge versammelt, um theoretische und methodo(olog)ische Auseinandersetzungen sowie empirische Beiträge aus Psychologie und angrenzenden Disziplinen und Arbeitsfeldern vorzustellen und so jüngere Entwicklungen und die gegenwärtige Lage der Disablity Studies im deutschsprachigen Raum zu kartieren.

Disability Rhetoric is the first book to view rhetorical theory and history through the lens of disability studies. Traditionally, the body has been seen as, at best, a rhetorical distraction; at worst, those whose bodies do not conform to a narrow range of norms are disqualified from speaking. Yet, Dolmage argues that communication has always been obsessed with the meaning of the body and that bodily difference is always highly rhetorical. Following from this rewriting of rhetorical history, he outlines the development of a new theory, affirming the ideas that all communication is embodied, that the body plays a central role in all expression, and that greater attention to a range of bodies is therefore essential to a better understanding of rhetorical histories, theories, and possibilities.--Publisher description.

"This book explores the opportunities and challenges people with disabilities experience in the context of digital games from the perspective of three related areas: representation, access and inclusion, and community. Drawing on key concerns in disability media studies, the book brings together scholars from disability studies and game studies, alongside game developers, educators, and disability rights activists, to reflect upon the increasing visibility of disabled characters in digital games. Chapters explore the contemporary gaming environment as it relates to disability on platforms such as Twitch, Minecraft, and Tingyou, while also addressing future possibilities and pitfalls for people with disabilities within gaming given the rise of virtual reality applications, and augmented games such as Pokémon Go. The book asks how game developers can attempt to represent diverse abilities, taking games such as BlindSide and Overwatch as examples. A significant collection for scholars and students interested in the critical analysis of digital games, this volume will be of interest across several disciplines including game studies, game design and development, internet, visual, cultural, communication and media studies, as well as disability studies"--
