- Summary:
- 'Phallacies' is a collection of essays that focuses on disabled men who negotiate their masculinity as well as their disability. Some chapters deal with institutional structures that define what it means to be a man with a disability, and other chapters consider the place of women in situations where masculinity and disability are constructed. Also in this volume, some chapters explore men with physical and war-related disabilities; other chapters investigate male hysteria, suicide clubs, and mercy killing; and still other chapters consider images of male disability in literature and popular culture.
