Disability Arts and Culture
Intellect Books (Verlag)
978-1-78938-000-2 (ISBN)
This collection offers insight into different study approaches to disability art and culture practices, and asks: what does it mean to approach disability-focused cultural production and consumption as generative sites of meaning-making? International scholars and practitioners use ethnographic and participatory action research approaches; textual and discourse analysis; as well as other methods to discover how disability figures into our contemporary world(s).
Chapters within the collection explore, amongst other topics, deaf theatre productions, representations of disability on-screen, community engagement projects and disabled bodies in dance. Disability Arts and Culture provides a comprehensive overview and a range of case studies benefitting both the practitioner and scholar.

Petra is a well respected figure in the field of performance arts, in particular feminist and disabled theatre, and is a faculty fellow at the National Council for Institutional Diversity.
