Goodley draws on decades of research to argue that disability has much to offer when we contemplate what it means to be human in the 21st Century. He addresses questions such as 'who's allowed to be human?'; 'are human beings dependent?'; and 'what does it mean to be human in the digital age?'

Comment le champ du handicap s’est-il historiquement et socialement construit dans les sociétés occidentales ? Quel type d’expériences le handicap produit il ? Quelles mobilisations suscite-t-il ? Quel type de recherches et quels courants de pensées recouvrent les disability studies ? Quels traitements politiques les sociétés donnent-elles aux personnes dites handicapées ? Comment vivent-elles aujourd’hui à l’école, au travail, en famille, en milieu « ordinaire » ou en institutions spécialisées ? Voici quelques-unes des nombreuses questions que se posent tous ceux qui s’intéressent au handicap et que cet ouvrage propose d’éclairer. Depuis une quarantaine d’années, le handicap est en effet devenu un objet d’études à part entière des sciences humaines et sociales, de la sociologie en particulier. Les recherches ont permis de mieux comprendre l’objet socio-politique « handicap » et d’en cerner les contours instables. Mais elles ont aussi ouvert de nouvelles pistes et catégories d’analyse pour penser nos sociétés contemporaines à l’épreuve de la diversité. Elles montrent que la fonctionnalité des corps et des esprits touche au cœur des questions de justice sociale. Ce manuel propose un panorama clair et synthétique des études consacrées au handicap en soulignant à la fois les situations concrètes qu’il recouvre et ses enjeux politiques et sociaux. Pour les étudiants, chercheurs et enseignants en sociologie, anthropologie, sciences sociales, santé publique et ceux des professions (para)médicales et médico-sociales.

Les Nations unies ont récemment promulgué la mise en vigueur de la Convention relative aux droits des personnes handicapées. Ce traité international, contraignant pour les Etats qui le ratifient, est un évènement charnière. Il marque, dans l'histoire, le résultat des luttes du mouvement de défense des droits humains des personnes différentes dans leurs corps et leurs fonctionnalités, et vivant des situations d'exclusion et d'oppression sociale systémiques. Il ouvre sur des enjeux sociétaux contemporains ancrés dans une transformation radicale du sens du handicap. Il invite à la prise de conscience de la responsabilité de chaque société de procéder à une métamorphose inclusive fondée sur l'égalité des possibilités de contrôler sa vie pour chaque citoyen, quelles que soient ses différences. Une fois engagée sur son fil, la funambule doit maintenir son équilibre dans l'instant qui passe et aller jusqu'au bout. Pour chaque être humain, ce bout de la vie est ancré dans l'inconnu du futur et interdépendant de l'ensemble des fils qui tissent la toile, plus ou moins efficace, de la solidarité sociale de sa collectivité.

People with disabilities in Canada inhabit a system of deep structural, economic, social, political, legal, and cultural inequality -- a regime of dis-citizenship. Despite the widespread belief that Canada is a country of liberty, equality, and inclusiveness, many persons with disabilities experience social exclusion and marginalization. They are socially constructed as second-class citizens. Conventional understandings of disability are dependent on assumptions that characterize disability as misfortune and by implication privilege the "normal" over the "abnormal." Consequently, it is presumed that societal organization based upon able-bodied and -minded norms is inevitable and that the best we can do is show sympathy or pity. The essays Critical Disability Theory contend instead that achieving equality for the disabled is not fundamentally a question of medicine or health, nor is it an issue of sensitivity or compassion. Rather, it is a question of politics, and of power and powerlessness. This book argues that we need new ways to think about the nature of disability, a new understanding of participatory citizenship that encompasses the disabled, new policies to respond to their needs, and a new vision of their entitlements. Twenty-four scholars from a variety of disciplines come together here to identify the problems with traditional approaches to disability and to provide new directions. The essays range from focused empirical and experiential studies of different disabilities, to policy analyses, legal interrogations, and philosophical reconsiderations. The result will be of interest to policy makers, professionals, academics, non-governmental organizations, and grassroots activists.
