The Emergence of the Chroniqueers.Drawing on theory and empirical research, this book provides an analysis of the intersections between LGBTQ+ identification and chronic illness. Chapters focus on the theoretical meaning of chronic illness as a queer notion, as well as the lived experiences of chronically ill LGBTQ+ people. The author analyzes chronic illness as an experience that interrogates the normative notions of time, (in)visibility, and disability. Interweaving notions of heteronormativity and able-bodiedness as interwoven and mutually dependent, this book argues that the experience of chronic illness through LGBTQ+ embodiment presents the potential to imagine bodies differently. This book will be useful for scholars and students in Disability Studies, Queer Studies, and Gender Studies.Intersectionality (Sociology)Chronically illEurope, SouthernIntersectionality (Sociology)Chronically ill.305Pieri Mara1353936MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQ9910644257803321LGBTQ+ People with Chronic Illness3284887UNINA
