The increasing numbers of scholars, policy-makers, and political activists who are concerned with questions of physical and cognitive disability will warmly welcome Henri-Jacques Stiker's book, the first to attempt to provide a framework for analyzing disability through the ages. Published in 1997 in France as "Corps infirmes et societes" and available now in an excellent English translation, the book traces the history of western cultural responses to disability, from ancient times to the present.In this volume, Stiker examines a fundamental issue in contemporary Western discourse on disability: the cultural assumption that equality/sameness/similarity is always desired by those in society. He highlights the consequences of such a mindset, illustrating the intolerance of diversity and individualism that arises from placing such importance on equality. Importantly, Stiker does not hesitate to assert his own stance on the issues he discusses: that difference is not only acceptable, but that it is desirable, that it is necessary.The author goes beyond anecdotal history to traverse a little known history, penetrating to the heart of collective attitudes and reflecting on elements of policy. The sweep is broad; from a rereading and reinterpretation of the Oedipus myth to current legislation regarding disablity, he proposes an analytical history that demonstrates how societies reveal themselves through their attitudes towards disability, at times in unexpected ways, since the study of detail is often the best entry into the whole of a culture. The book will be of interest to scholars of disability, historians, social scientists, cultural anthropologists, and those who are intrigued by the role that culture plays in the development of language and thought surrounding the disabled.Henri-Jacques Stiker is Director of Research and member of the department of the History and Civilization of Western Societies, University of Paris VII.
太棒。历史脉络清晰,架构宏大,不失nuance。不少讲disability历史的对宗教刻画分析不够,这本没忽略这一重点。亮点是Birth of Rehabilitation这一章,分析这一话语/产业下的工业自由主义逻辑,直击红心。就是展望未来啥的感觉普通和前面激进的批评对不上……话说,没读过多少法国作家的英文翻译,感觉和英文学术文风不同,十分舒爽,为什么呢?

评分作者通过构建一个模型,来说明不同时代对“disability”的不同理解及其演变:由生物化(个体)、宗教化(人神),到社会化(群体)和医疗化(个体)。不过,对“disability”的理解总是相对的。正常人在某些特殊情况下,具有残疾人所具备的特征。比如,推着婴儿车的母亲。
