Bodies of Work examines the transnational development of large-scale national systems, international organizations, technologies, and cultural material aimed at rehabilitating Allied ex-servicemen, disabled in the First World War. When nations mobilised in August 1914, it was thought that casualties would be minimal and the war would be quickly over. Little consideration was given to what ought to be done for those men whose bodies would forever bear the marks of war's destruction. Julie M. Powell charts how rehabilitation emerged as the best means to deal with millions of disabled ex-servicemen. She considers the ways in which rehabilitation was shaped by both durable and discrete influences, including social reformism, paternalist philanthropy, the movement for workers' rights, patriotism, class tensions, cultural ideas about manliness and disability, nationalism, and internationalism. Powell sheds light on the ways in which rehabilitation systems became sites for the contestation and maintenance of boundaries of belonging.

Lamentavelmente, os cidadãos com deficiência deparam-se com inúmeras barreiras, de diferente índole, que lhes restringem, ou impedem mesmo, o acesso à prática desportiva, discriminando-os, estigmatizando-os, menorizando-os. Neste contexto, a lei mostra-se fundamental para que os cidadãos com deficiência possam exercer plenamente o seu direito ao desporto. O escopo do presente livro é precisamente aferir do sentido e alcance das normas vigentes em Portugal, da Constituição da República Portuguesa à legislação infraconstitucional, a par dos principais instrumentos de Direito Internacional e de Direito Europeu, gerais e específicos, que vinculam o Estado Português. Sintetiza-se e analisa-se o direito positivo, alerta-se para mecanismos legais menos conhecidos e/ou utilizados, e fazem-se algumas propostas, encarando o direito ao desporto na perspetiva do praticante e do espetador (em linha com o Tribunal Arbitral do Desporto) e na dupla vertente do ‘Desporto para Todos’ e ‘Desporto de Excelência’, «maxime» o ‘Desporto Paralímpico’.
