@article{1453989, author = {Pieri, Mara,}, url = {http://library.usi.edu/record/1453989}, title = {LGBTQ+ People with Chronic Illness : Chroniqueers in Southern Europe /}, abstract = {Drawing on theory and empirical research, this book provides an analysis of the intersections between LGBTQ+ identification and chronic illness. Chapters focus on the theoretical meaning of chronic illness as a queer notion, as well as the lived experiences of chronically ill LGBTQ+ people. The author analyzes chronic illness as an experience that interrogates the normative notions of time, (in)visibility, and disability. Interweaving notions of heteronormativity and able-bodiedness as interwoven and mutually dependent, this book argues that the experience of chronic illness through LGBTQ+ embodiment presents the potential to imagine bodies differently. This book will be useful for scholars and students in Disability Studies, Queer Studies, and Gender Studies.}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-22071-5}, recid = {1453989}, pages = {1 online resource (xiii, 154 pages)}, }
