Den forståelse af handicapbegrebet, som myndigheder og institutioner møder mennesker med funktionsnedsættelser med, har afgørende indflydelse på deres liv. Derfor er det vigtigt, at professionelle, politikere, forskere, administratorer og beslutningstagere reflekterer over deres forståelse af begrebet handicap, og hvordan de beskriver og anvender det i deres arbejdspraksis.Men som Handicapforståelser – mellem teori, erfaring og virkelighed viser, er det ikke nogen let opgave, for handicapbegrebet er vildt, ustyrligt og sammensat. I bidrag, der spænder fra historie, jura, økonomi og sociologi over rehabilitering, special- og socialpædagogik samt psykologi til teater og medier, giver bogen et fascinerende indblik i et komplekst fænomen. Samtidig formår den at bringe større klarhed over begrebets mange betydninger og derved gøre det mere brugbart, så læseren i sin faglige tilgang hjælpes til at overveje mangfoldighed og menneskelige ressourcer frem for ensidigt at fokusere på diagnoser og mangler.Handicapforståelser – mellem teori, erfaring og virkelighed henvender sig til studerende, undervisere, fagpersoner, forskere og beslutningstagere, der beskæftiger sig med mennesker med handicap og handicap som samfundsfænomen.
Digital Governance://Networked Societies – Creating Authority, Community and Identity in a Globalized World explores the role of the Internet in the creation and reconfiguration of political authority, community and identity in a globalizing world.A string of case studies demonstrates how the Internet and connectivity facilitate the creation of political authorities ‘within’ and ‘beyond’ the nation state, and how it lies at the core of the formation of automated forms of power and the emergence of a plethora of communities with global reach and outlook, affecting identity formation processes and social dynamics.These developments have important repercussions for politics and democracy. Politics in the Information Age becomes a ‘politics of presence’ and a ‘politics of becoming’, as expressed through multiple practices, connections and organizational forms, as well as the complex formation of political identities. In such a set-up, democracy comes to depend more on ethics and less on procedures.
