{"product_id":"9781783207930","title":"Ghostbodies: Towards a New Theory of Invalidism","description":"How is illness represented in today’s cultural texts? In Ghostbodies, Maia Dolphin-Krute argues that the illusive sick body is often made invisible—a ghost—because it does not always fit society’s definition of disability. In these pages, she reflectively engages in a philosophical discussion of the lived experience of illness alongside an examination of how language and cultural constructions influence and represent this experience in a variety of forms. The book provides a linguistic mirror through which the reader may see his or her own specific invalidity reflected, enabling an examination of what it is like to live within a ghostbody. In the end, Dolphin-Krute asks—if illness is not what it seems, what then is health?","brand":"Intellect Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47180866715888,"sku":"9781783207930","price":33.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781783207930_p0.jpg?v=1763722880","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781783207930","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
