Disability in the Workplace
This book introduces the difference model of disability. Framed within an affect-based understanding of the relationships between those living with impairments and others, this new model offers a reconsideration of the construct of disability itself. Disability is flexible, relational, and perceived through an acognitive lens. At a practice level, the difference model offers a framework for creating more positive and successful relationships between people with disabilities (PWDs) and others within the workplace. This includes two new tools, the Co-Worker Acceptance of Disabled Employees (CADE) Scale and the Perceived Barriers to Employing Persons with Disabilities (PBED) Scale. Designed to measure workplace attitudes, and changes to these attitudes, each of these scales provides empirical evidence in support of strategic planning and, ultimately, an increased representation of PWDs. Finally, this book considers the effects of language and technology on workplace attitudes toward disability.

Affective Mapping
The surprising claim of this book is that dwelling on loss is not necessarily depressing. Instead, embracing melancholy can be a road back to contact with others and can lead people to productively remap their relationship to the world around them. Flatley demonstrates that a seemingly disparate set of modernist writers and thinkers showed how aesthetic activity can give us the means to comprehend and change our relation to loss.
Alien Landscapes?
We have made huge progress in understanding the biology of mental illnesses, but comparatively little in interpreting them at the psychological level. The eminent philosopher Jonathan Glover believes that there is real hope of progress in the human interpretation of disordered minds. The challenge is that the inner worlds of people with psychiatric disorders can seem strange, like alien landscapes, and this strangeness can deter attempts at understanding. Do people with disorders share enough psychology with other people to make interpretation possible? To explore this question, Glover tackles the hard cases—the inner worlds of hospitalized violent criminals, of people with delusions, and ...

It is structured as a manifesto, comprising ten major statements which are unpacked through various case studies across ten chapters. They encompass areas including the rich relationship between language diversity and diversity of iden...
Das verdatete Tier
Als Folge der Verdatung von Tieren und zugleich auch ihrer Medialisierung zeichnen sich neue Formen des Miteinander ab: Tiere, Technik und Menschen bilden einen Kollaborationsverbund. Auffallend sind neben den enormen Datenmassen, die das Tier in den Zustand einer medial vermittelten Transparenznatur versetzen ebenso die Frage, wer denn überhaupt über Handlungsmacht und über Medienkompetenz verfügt. Die Beiträge in diesem Sammelband nehmen diese neuen, artenübergreifenden Kollaborationen und Sozialitäten mit ihren spezifischen Kommunikationsstrukturen interdisziplinär in den Blick und befragen ihre technischen und epistemologischen Wirkweisen.
