Igualdad, no discriminación y discapacidad
No hay duda de que uno de los temas que suscita mayor inter‚s en los £ltimos a¤os en nuestras sociedades es el de la plena inclusi¢n de personas y grupos que, a causa del modelo social imperante, tradicionalmente han estado, y en muy buena medida contin£an estando, en una situaci¢n de inferioridad en sus relaciones sociales. Precisamente el de las personas con discapacidad es uno de los colectivos que se ha destacado en la lucha por dicho objetivo, inicialmente mediante su visibilidad dentro de la sociedad y posteriormente mediante el reconocimiento y ejercicio de sus derechos en igualdad de condiciones que el resto de personas. Dar satisfactoria repuesta a sus reivindicaciones implic...

The Routledge International Handbook of Disability Human Rights Hierarchies
Disability is defined by hierarchy. Regardless of culture or context, persons with disabilities are almost always pushed to the bottom of the social hierarchy. With the advent of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (2006), disability human rights seemingly provided a path forward for tearing down ableist social hierarchies and ensuring that all persons with disabilities everywhere were treated equally. Despite important progress, the disability human rights project not only remains incomplete, but has often created new hierarchies among persons with disabilities themselves or across the human rights it promotes. Certain groups of persons with disabilities have gained ne...
Models of Implementation of Article 12 of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD)
This book examines the implications of Article 12 of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD), its resulting standard of protection for persons with disabilities and the way it is understood and implemented in its diverse signatory states. Its overarching theme is to assess the impact of CRPD Article 12 on the private law concept of legal capacity and its limitations, the significance of which carries over into the realm of penal law regulations. Its impact is analysed primarily from the legal point of view, but with due regard for its psychological and psychiatric ramifications. Recognising the importance of these disciplines is important when implementing CRPD Ar...
Woman as Witness
Testimonial narrative is considered to be both a constant in Latin American literature, as well as one of the most prominent features of the post-boom writing of the 1980s and 1990s; women have successfully assimilated this form and currently dominate the testimonial genre in Latin America. The essays in this volume provide an orientation to the woman-centered view of this genre by inquiring into the critical and theoretical debate on the subject as well as analyzing specific nineteenth- and twentieth-century Latin American women's testimonial texts. Woman as Witness also includes selections from two testimonial works by Argentine women to advance the creation of a canon of Latin American feminist testimonial.
Adaptations of Mental and Cognitive Disability in Popular Media
Examining representations of mental difference, this collection focuses on the ways that adaptations (including remakes, reboots, and other examples of remixed narratives) can shape and shift the social contexts and narratives we use to define mental disability. The movement of narratives across media via adaptation, or within media but across time and space in the case of remakes and reboots, is a common tactic for revitalization, allowing storytellers to breathe new life into tired narratives, remedying past inaccuracies and making them accessible and relevant for contemporary audiences. Thus, this collection argues that adaptation provides a useful tool for examining the constraints or op...
Derechos humanos y situaciones de dependencia
En esta obra se tratan los tres grandes presupuestos que orientan las reflexiones que aqu¡ se vierten. Por un lado, la consideraci¢n del tratamiento de las situaciones de dependencia en el mbito jur¡dico que debe hacerse en el marco del discurso de los derechos humanos. Por otro, la constataci¢n de que las situaciones de dependencia, poseen una dimensi¢n social, en el sentido de tener si origen no tanto en rasgos de individuos concretos sino en estructuras, h bitos y formas sociales. Por £ltimo, la posibilidad de justificar una serie de derechos, al amparo del examen de las situaciones de dependencia.
