About The Author
How can disability be redefined beyond conventional norms, transforming limitations into new possibilities?
Transforming a Disability Through Everyday Life Experiences 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.
