Remaking the Body: Rehabilitation and Change
In Remaking the Body, Wendy Seymour interviews men and women who have suffered profound bodily paralysis, and explores how they deal with their appearance, relationships, sexuality, incontinence and sport. She finds that even major impairment hasn't annihilated these people's experience of an embodied self. She shows that the process of self-reconstruction is interwoven with social expectations and argues that the experience of disability highlig…
Exhuming the Body: Revisiting the Role of the Visible Body in Ethnographic Research
Looking back is often painful. Although in the first instance I might approach a research project with enthusiasm and confidence, in retrospect the sins of omission can become very obvious.

Although the task of retrospection is blessed with the accumulated wisdom of others, I emphasize the im…
Holding the line online: Exploring wired relationships for people with disabilities
Clearly, the Internet represents a huge new step in interpersonal communications.

Time is more than just the context for our lives, time is the medium throug…

In the flesh or online? Exploring qualitative research methodologies
This article discusses the use of computer-mediated research techniques in a research project which investigates how people with disabilities engage with and use computer technologies. Identifying the rationale, process and experiences involved in the decision to engage in electronic research in this particular research topic will illuminate some limitations in traditional methods of qualitative data collection more generally. In responding to th…
