Shanouda, F. & Yoshida, K. (2019). Playing with Normalcy: A Disability Material Culture Analysis. The Review of Disability Studies (RDS): An International Journal, 15(2), pp. 1-19.
Abstract
We recast a toy figure as a cultural agent of various interlocking and hegemonic discourses, and in particular, explore how normative discourses are reflected in material objects. We suggest that the Toy Gymnast represents and reinforces these discourses and therefore influences how children learn that normative bodies are desirable.
