Beschreibungen/Notizen
In the introduction Schalk lays out the most important concepts and terms in the manuscript—Bodyminds and (Dis)ability, explaining that the former rejects the Western dichotomy between the mind and body. [...]this is a point of pride for Schalk who writes, “I worked to keep my sentences direct and clear because I hope that this book is useful to a range of individuals, including artists, fans, and activists” (29). Schalk does not explicitly critique the inaccessibility of most scholarly criticism in Bodyminds; however, her careful and consistent signposting lays out her argument for all readers and reflects a commitment to deconstructing binaries of simple/complex, able/disabled, and theory/praxis—ideas reflected in the introduction.
