商品簡介
There exist problematic attitudes and beliefs about dwarfism that have rarely been challenged, but continue to construct people with dwarfism as an inferior group within society. This book introduces the critical term midgetism, which the author has coined, to demonstrate that the socio-cultural discrimination people with dwarfism experience is influenced by both heightism and disablism.
As a result, it unpacks and challenges the problematic social assumptions that reinforce midgetism within society, including the acceptability of midget entertainment and non-normate space, to demonstrate how particular spaces can either aid in reinforcing or challenge midgetism.
Drawing on the tripartite model of disability, this book demonstrates how midget entertainment is framed as a non-normative positivism, which makes it an acceptable form of employment. Using autocritical discourse analysis, the book exposes, examines and responds to excuses that are used to reinforce midgetism, thus critiquing the numerous beliefs influenced by cultural representations of dwarfism, such as people with dwarfism being acceptable figures of entertainment.
It will be of interest to all scholars and students of disability studies, social history, sociology and cultural geography.
