Citizenship Inclusion and Intellectual Disability - Biopolitics Post-Institutionalisation

Zusatztext 'Making no humanist friends, Altermark's outstanding book disseminates the very ideals of citizenship that are peddled in the name of social inclusion but are revealed to be of the most pernicious kinds of thought that render people with intellectual disabilities surplus to requirements. Read this. Read it now.' - Daniel Goodley, Director of Research, The Universtiy of Sheffield Informationen zum Autor Niklas Altermark is a researcher at the Department of Political Science at Lund University. His work focuses on ideas revolving around vulnerability, as a grounds for exclusion but also as a resource of critical theory, in order to understand the historical and present government of groups that are judged to be deviating. Altermark’s articles have for example appeared in Disability & Society and Review of Disability Studies – An International Journal. Lately, he has been engaged in the Swedish struggle against austerity measures striking down on people with disabilities, chronic illnesses, and mental health conditions. Zusammenfassung Combining theoretical perspectives of political philosophy, social theory, and disability studies, this book untangles the current state of Western intellectual disability politics following the replacement of state institutionalisation by independent and supported living, individual rights, and self-determination.
