The Self and the Body: Thinking Dialogically About Disability
KIRILL MASLOV
This paper presents the emergence and transformation of ‘body-voice’—a specific dialogical relation between different I-positions in a case study of a woman who becomes blind. An analysis of the case study shows that human perception and representation of one’s own body is based on a visual component and also shows how rapidly and radically previously constructed body images change in the case of total blindness.
