*Wednesday 13th December 6pm*
/*Mistaken identity and moral evaluation:
visibility and invisibility of chronic illness and disability*/
*Dana Rosenfeld
Royal Holloway, University of London*
_Venue_
King's College London
Franklin Wilkins Building
Room 1.16
Stamford Street
London SE1 8WA
_Abstract_
Using primary and secondary data, this talk considers tensions between
body, self and identity that the chronically ill and disabled experience
in accelerated, intensified, and magnified form as they imagine how
others see and evaluate them and their actions. It tackles the central
question of how and when changes in bodily appearance and capacities
affect images of the self on the part of ego and imagined alter by
considering the following, related questions: How does the relative
visibility or invisibility of physical limitation affect images of self?
What strategies do the chronically ill and disabled use to control these
images? What are the implications of public interactions for treating
the ill or disabled body as a looking glass? Finally, how does
scrutinizing the circumstances of the chronically ill and disabled
inform and extend symbolic interactionist notions of the embodied self?
