| dc.description.abstract | The present research is meant to make a comparative reading of Raquel Jaramillo Palacio‟s Wonder (2012) and Lillie Lainoff‟s One for all (2022). The main aim is to highlight the possible connection/intersection between the theme of disability and that of social marginalization or alienation through the characters‟ description. In order to reach my objective, we have made use of the theory of Disability studies as suggested by Tobin Siebers in his Disability Theory (2008) which is also supplemented by Peter Burke‟s theory of Brothers and Sisters of Disabled Children (2004). As a whole, the dissertation is divided into two main chapters. The first chapter is devoted to deeply studying characterization in the light of disability concerns with a particular focus on its models; the medical and social model, while the second chapter makes a reading of the intersection of disability and impairments with social isolation or marginalization as depicted in both narratives. After analysis, we have come to the idea that the body or mind impairment is more than a medical syndrome which needs diagnosis and treatment, but also a social agent that plays a crucial role in shaping or forging the life of disabled individuals, and thus allows them to live a “normal life” and reach what Siebers qualifies as the „ideology of ability‟. | |
