ISBN: 9780813547688 / Angielski / Twarda / 160 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. For too long people with intellectual disabilities have been shut out of most societies around the world, or more accurately, they have been shut in--forcibly confined in mental institutions, quietly hidden inside their families' homes, isolated from public view as much as possible, and prevented from achieving the full potential that any human being inherently enjoys.

Demons of the Body and Mind: Essays on Disability in Gothic Literature
ISBN: 9780786433223 / Angielski / Miękka / 244 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The Gothic mode, typically preoccupied by questions of difference and otherness, consistently imagined the Other as a source of grotesque horror. Paradoxically, the Other also became a pitiful figure, often evoking empathy. The sixteen critical essays in this collection examine the ways in which those suffering from mental and physical ailments were refigured as Other during the Gothic era, and how they were imagined to be monstrous. Together, the essays highlight the Gothic inclination to represent all ailments as visibly monstrous, even those, such as mental illness, which were invisible....
