Description

Explore the complex intersection of physical impairment and athletic achievement in Sport and the Female Disabled Body. Published by Routledge as part of the Interdisciplinary Disability Studies series, this book offers a deep look into the lives of young women navigating the world of sport. Author Elisabet Apelmo uses phenomenology to examine the tension between two conflicting identities: the disabled body, often viewed by society as deviant, and the sporting body, which is seen as accomplished and strong. This research tracks how these women manage the polarization between feelings of weakness and the desire for a positive, capable subject position. This work is essential for students and researchers in anthropology, sociology, and disability studies. It provides a unique perspective on how identity is formed when facing the social perceptions of being both weak and strong. By studying these experiences, the book sheds light on the social and personal realities of female athletes with physical impairments.
