Drawing on social, linguistic and critical theories, it proposes the conditions needed to address the development of Mad epistemologies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\nThe author’s unique approach deliberately highlights her own positionality and draws on decades of experience as a service recipient, survivor, activist and researcher to illustrate the structural and symbolic barriers faced. Employing concepts including epistemic injustice, individualization, normalization and structural violence, it suggests a radically new way of articulating ‘what’s the matter with us?’ In doing so, the book itself goes some way towards enacting the radical challenge to academic and epistemic hierarchies which, it is argued, will be required to further advance mad knowledges and user-led research.Crucially, it demonstrates how this approach can be both methodologically and conceptually rigorous. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis novel work holds important insights for students and scholars across the humanities and social sciences; particularly those working in the areas of critical psychology, disability studies, Mad studies, feminist studies, critical race theory, and Queer theory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Palgrave Macmillan\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2023-09-14\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783031075537\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-031-07551-3\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 210cm x148cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 322\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer International Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44477716267148,"sku":"9783031075537","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783031075537.jpg?v=1776053897","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783031075537","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
