How can disability be redefined beyond conventional norms, transforming limitations into new possibilities?
Beyond Disability by Anne-Lyse Chabert explores when disability begins and how it can be defined beyond conventions. Using her own experience, she examines metamorphosis as a strategy to overcome physical and environmental constraints. She analyzes disability through normativity, affordance, and capability. Real-life cases— a quadriplegic calligrapher, blind footballers, and an autistic person finding societal inclusion— illustrate how creativity transforms limitations into possibilities.
Ideal for Disability Studies scholars, philosophers, educators, and anyone interested in redefining ability and inclusion.
Anne-Lyse Chabert has explored vulnerability in disability since 2007, winning the 2015 Pierre Simon Prize for her research on the topic.
