Disability
Disability, Fourth Edition is an indispensable tool for human services students in understanding disability from an empowerment perspective. Authors Mackelprang, Salsgiver, and Parrey establish the historical and societal context in which those living with disabilities are marginalized while offering a social ecological model and its three - biosocial, psychosocial, and social - cultural dimensions that students and instructors can employ. Readers will also be introduced to universal diversity theory, which draws from feminist, race, disability, and queer theories for an approach that is applicable across all diverse groups. Written from a North American perspective, the book also addresses disability laws, policies, and practices globally.
Youth Mediations and Affective Relations
Youth Mediations and Affective Relations explores dynamic and expansive possibilities of young people’s affective lives as they engage with diverse social media in prolific and specific ways. It addresses the situated embodied and emotional experiences of young people as they actively use media in order to forge communities, play imaginatively, protest injustice, experiment with their identities, make media or explore friendships. Furthermore, it explores the relational and contextual dimensions of their everyday interactions. Against static knowledge and moral panics that abstract youth from the complex and changing worlds in which they grapple with digital media, this book hones in on the layered textures of youth experiences to consider how today’s youth think and feel in subtle and unexpected ways.

Disability in American Life [2 volumes]
Disability—as with other marginalized topics in social policy—is at risk for exclusion from social debate. This multivolume reference work provides an overview of challenges and opportunities for people with disabilities and their families at all stages of life.

By discussing challenges confronting people with disabilities and their families and by collecting numerous accounts of disability experiences, this volume firmly situates disability within broader social movements, policy, and areas of marginalization, providing a critical examin...
Kosmetische Chirurgie im Online-Diskurs
Die Bewerbung kosmetischer Chirurgie erfolgt vermehrt auf eigenen Websites, auf denen Gründe für oder gegen die medizinisch invasive Körperformung reformuliert werden. Steffen Loick Molina untersucht diskursanalytisch die Plausibilisierungs- und Inszenierungsmuster solcher kosmetisch-chirurgischer Angebote und durchleuchtet die Problemerzählungen von Eingriffen am Gesicht, an der Brust sowie am Körperfett. Die Websites erweisen sich dabei als normalisierende Körpertechnologien, die auf dem Bild des sozialen Tods basieren und auf eine Resouveränisierung des menschlichen Subjekts abzielen.
Managing Disruptions in Business
This volume discusses business disruptions as strategic to gain market competitiveness. It analyzes the convergence of innovation and technology, business practices, public policies, political ideologies, and consumer values to strengthen competitive business practices through disruptions.
