重新呈现残疾解决了围绕博物馆和美术馆中残疾代表的问题，这一话题正受到学术界的极大关注，并成为在广泛的博物馆和相关文化组织工作的从业者日益紧迫的问题。
这一卷具有挑衅性和及时的贡献，汇集了来自不同学科、机构和文化背景的20名研究人员、从业人员和学者，探讨围绕残疾人的文化表现，更具体地说，在博物馆和画廊展览中纳入(以及明显缺乏)与残疾有关的叙述的问题。书中呈现的不同视角为审问和理解当代代表性实践提供了新的方式，并阐明了关于身份政治、社会代理和组织目的和责任的现有相关辩论，这些辩论在博物馆和博物馆研究中具有相当大的流通性。
《重现残疾》探讨了以下问题：
在博物馆和美术馆的收藏和展示中，残疾人和与残疾有关的主题历来是以什么方式出现的？如何看待与这些历史方法相关的新出现的代表性形式和做法？
博物馆实践中的新趋势--旨在对抗对残疾人的偏见和刻板印象--与残疾人权利的更广泛发展、残疾研究中的辩论以及公共历史和大众媒体中不断变化的解释做法有什么关系？
可以采用哪些方法来挖掘和审问现有的收藏品，以便调查残疾和残疾人的历史，并确定可能被收集起来在消除偏见方面发挥作用的物质证据？这些发展对当代收藏品有什么影响？
如何创造这样有目的的展览，策展人、教育工作者、设计师和其他演员在展览制作过程中可能会遇到什么两难和挑战？
受众--残疾人和非残疾人--如何回应和参与旨在对抗、削弱或重塑支撑和宣传当代残疾态度的主导代表制度的解释性干预？
Re-Presenting Disability addresses issues surrounding disability representation in museums and galleries, a topic which is receiving much academic attention and is becoming an increasingly pressing issue for practitioners working in wide-ranging museums and related cultural organisations.
This volume of provocative and timely contributions, brings together twenty researchers, practitioners and academics from different disciplinary, institutional and cultural contexts to explore issues surrounding the cultural representation of disabled people and, more particularly, the inclusion (as well as the marked absence) of disability-related narratives in museum and gallery displays. The diverse perspectives featured in the book offer fresh ways of interrogating and understanding contemporary representational practices as well as illuminating existing, related debates concerning identity politics, social agency and organisational purposes and responsibilities, which have considerable currency within museums and museum studies.
Re-Presenting Disability explores such issues as:
In what ways have disabled people and disability-related topics historically been represented in the collections and displays of museums and galleries? How can newly emerging representational forms and practices be viewed in relation to these historical approaches?
How do emerging trends in museum practice – designed to counter prejudiced, stereotypical representations of disabled people – relate to broader developments in disability rights, debates in disability studies, as well as shifting interpretive practices in public history and mass media?
What approaches can be deployed to mine and interrogate existing collections in order to investigate histories of disability and disabled people and to identify material evidence that might be marshalled to play a part in countering prejudice? What are the implications of these developments for contemporary collecting?
How might such purposive displays be created and what dilemmas and challenges are curators, educators, designers and other actors in the exhibition-making process, likely to encounter along the way?
How do audiences – disabled and non-disabled – respond to and engage with interpretive interventions designed to confront, undercut or reshape dominant regimes of representation that underpin and inform contemporary attitudes to disability?
