Résumé

In Diminished Faculties: A Political Phenomenology of Impairment, Jonathan Sterne shares his experience with vocality after experiencing a paralyzed vocal cord from thyroid cancer. Sterne grapples with his changing voice and his positionality toward disability while trying to make sense of these experiences through impairment phenomenology, a novel approach used in disability studies. This book was not meant to be organized in a traditional way as it lacks a proper introduction and conclusion. Rather, in each chapter, Sterne integrates personal reflections, blog posts, theories, and artistic pieces to develop impairment phenomenology.
