Kim Cho-yeop and Kim Won-young, who began living as \"cyborgs\" around the age of fifteen after encountering machines (hearing aids and wheelchairs) that compensate for their physical impairments, have consistently been fascinated by the intersection of the human body and science and technology.\u003cbr\u003e The two share a shared concern that today's science and technology are developing without considering the specific experiences of individuals with diverse bodies and senses.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eBased on their experiences living with hearing impairment (Kim Cho-yeop) and physical disability (Kim Won-young) and their understanding of their identities cultivated within the field of the disability rights movement, they suggest a different tomorrow we can embrace when the unique experience of disability is combined with science and technology in relationships with others, the environment, and society.\u003cbr\u003e Kim Cho-yeop imagines a new world designed around the cognitive, sensory, and motor worlds of people with disabilities, while Kim Won-young anticipates future technologies that will allow people with different vulnerabilities and dependencies to connect more closely and care for one another.\u003cbr\u003e The two men push their long-standing concerns far and deep, envisioning a future where the diverse constituents of this

environments in which they occur that have actually improved my life.\u003cbr\u003e (…) Even though I wear a hearing aid, I use text interpretation when attending lectures and talks, and I infer the content of audio content through a voice-to-text conversion program. \u003cbr\u003eConversations that are not fully understood in reality are continued via email and KakaoTalk.\u003cbr\u003e My social interactions rely heavily on the textual communication provided by IT technology.\u003cbr\u003e If I were to remove all online texts from my life, I would become disconnected from society.\u003cbr\u003e My relationship with technology is very close, and our interaction is constantly changing and expanding.\u003cbr\u003e (…) Is technology liberating or oppressive?\u003cbr\u003e Are cyborgs real or just a metaphor?\u003cbr\u003e Will 'warm technology' for people with disabilities really improve their lives?\u003cbr\u003e With the advancement of technology, will disabilities one day disappear and become a target for elimination?\u003cbr\u003e Will there still be people living with disabilities in the ultimate future?\u003cbr\u003e The life of a disabled cyborg is a story about the present and the future.\u003cbr\u003e --- p.35~39\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e If I become a cyborg armed with cutting-edge technology, will my 'nothingness' really disappear? \u003cbr\u003eSince 1997, when I was in the first year of middle school, I've been riding it, pushing it, lifting it, jumping on it, lying on it, and doing 90-degree turns on it.\u003cbr\u003e (…) I became wheelchair-en-wheeled.\u003cbr\u003e It was only when I began to vaguely recognize myself as a being integrated with the wheelchair, rather than a 'deficient' human being in a wheelchair, that I began to seriously confront the question of identity.\u003cbr\u003e (…) We must reflect on the fact that science does not identify the meaning of disability itself, as long as it assumes that you are still human ‘despite your disability’ and that your disability will soon be overcome so that you can be included in a more ‘complete’ human community.\u003cbr\u003e If science still views disability as a state of 'absence (lack)', then wheelchairs, no matter how much technological advancement they make, will still be regarded as merely assistive devices that solve the problem of 'lack' of walking ability. \u003cbr\u003eEven though we may actually be able to do more things with more advanced wheelchairs, we may still feel like we are more deprived.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e --- p.57~61\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Why Farmers Need to Speak in Spoken Language\u003cbr\u003e On March 26, 2020, KT released an advertisement titled \"My Name is Kim So-hee - Filled with Heart.\" It depicted KT's application of Giga Genie AI voice synthesis technology to give a \"voice\" to Kim, a deaf person.\u003cbr\u003e (…) In reality, hearing-impaired people like Kim and me, who are farmers, cannot clearly hear the voice created by Giga Genie.\u003cbr\u003e So, the 'voice' that Giga Genie gifted to Kim is not a voice for the hearing impaired, but a voice that hearing people want to hear from the hearing impaired.\u003cbr\u003e (…) Not all farmers or hearing impaired people want to hear sound, and those who do hear sound are not always satisfied with the sound. \u003cbr\u003eWhen you first hear the sound, your feelings may not be joy, but fear or stress.\u003cbr\u003e However, non-disabled people who watch these 'emotional videos' consistently try to read the 'joy of regaining sound' in the reactions of hearing-impaired people wearing hearing aids.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e --- p.66~70\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Why cutting-edge technology desires the bodies of people with disabilities\u003cbr\u003e Even when we blindly believe that technology will save humanity, using a disabled person as a model makes this belief safe and rational, a \"healthy\" and common-sense attitude toward technology as a tool.\u003cbr\u003e Even when we want to consume disabled people commercially, sexually, or religiously, if we show them wearing fancy, expensive wheelchairs, fantastically designed prosthetics, or Winter Soldier-like prosthetic arms, this is easily accepted as a safe, \"wholesome\" depiction of disabled people as cool, futuristic, and attractive. \u003cbr\u003e(…) We live in a society where there is a certain cultural attitude that admires science and technology as more than just tools (technofetishism).\u003cbr\u003e Meanwhile, many of us harbor some kind of emotion or impulse toward disabled bodies, whether it's disgust, admiration, or sexual objectification, or something about their design rather than their \"ability.\"\u003cbr\u003e When technology and the disabled body meet in a single image, it becomes much easier to fetishize both technology and disability itself, with little risk of falling into some kind of 'uncanny valley.'\u003cbr\u003e I suspect this is why hopeful articles about the \"Fourth Industrial Revolution\"—including promotional photos of James Gillingham, Amy Mullins, Oscar Pistorius, and images of people with disabilities—are more likely to be commercially successful.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e --- p.170~172\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Disability-centered design rather than universal design \u003cbr\u003eWhile it would certainly be a good thing if technologies developed for the disabled were eventually widely used by ordinary users, the concept of universal design also has its pitfalls.\u003cbr\u003e Hamley emphasizes the need for a disability-centric approach that goes beyond universal design.\u003cbr\u003e (…) If universal design does not clearly define the category of ‘universality,’ it creates the possibility that the needs of people with disabilities will be decentralized from the universal.\u003cbr\u003e It's important to keep in mind that the universal of human history has always been a neutral template represented by a very specific body: white, male, cisgender, straight, able-bodied, middle-class.\u003cbr\u003e In other words, Hamley's argument is to question neutrality, and to pursue value-explicit design that centers on disability rather than value-neutral design. \u003cbr\u003eDisability-centered design requires a concrete understanding of how the bodies of people with disabilities interact with their environments.\u003cbr\u003e Without this understanding, if we only design for everyone, ramps that are designed to be convenient for everyone may be useful for people pushing strollers and pulling carriers, but they end up being too steep and narrow for manual wheelchair users.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e --- p.203~204\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e If we had perfect technology, would it be okay not to see other people's faces?\u003cbr\u003e When we step outside the comfortable communities we know and turn to the outside world, into open spaces of interaction, there are encounters of friendship, hospitality, love, and solidarity that are only possible amidst the dangers and discord.\u003cbr\u003e (…) There was a user in a residential facility for the disabled who drank more than ten cups of coffee mix every day despite having severe diabetes. \u003cbr\u003e(…) One day, a social worker saw an autistic person he met in another place repeatedly tearing up paper with his hands, and he thought of that user who used to drink more than ten cups of coffee mix every day.\u003cbr\u003e Could it be that he enjoys unwrapping coffee mix wrappers rather than coffee (he actually did!)? While the current care community may seem inefficient and unstable compared to the future care systems we imagine, it's always connected to other beings, and thus can deconstruct the very structure of the questions surrounding care.\u003cbr\u003e The question of care ethics—whether a person with severe diabetes should be forced to abstain from coffee mixes, even if it means forcing them to do so—seems to be a question about the conflict between the values ​​of self-determination and health protection. \u003cbr\u003eThen, when I connected with the 'other', an autistic person who cuts paper by hand, the object and purpose of care shifted to a completely different dimension.\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e --- p.299~304\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e \",\"\u003cdiv\u003e\u003ch5\u003e \u003cb\u003ePublisher's Review\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e \u003cb\u003eHow should the human body interact with science and technology?\u003cbr\u003e Different bodies, senses, technologies and environments combine to create\u003cbr\u003e What does a redesigned future look like?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Humans have developed science and technology to explore the laws of nature and to provide what is necessary for the survival, maintenance, and improvement of the community.\u003cbr\u003e Naturally, science and technology aim for a better tomorrow, a future with less exposure to danger and disease and with minimal inconvenience or impossibility.\u003cbr\u003e The future envisioned by the so-called \"Fourth Industrial Revolution\" is also one in which humans, deeply connected to networks, seamlessly navigate a world designed for them, without the constraints of physical distance or environment. \u003cbr\u003eIn this optimistic picture, humans are depicted as beings who have no limitations in enjoying the benefits of technological civilization, or who have overcome physical and mental limitations by replacing or supplementing their innate vulnerabilities with various machines, equipment, and medicines.\u003cbr\u003e Kim Cho-yeop and Kim Won-young, who have lived in close connection with technology, such as hearing aids and wheelchairs, respectively, take a critical look at the \"technological utopia\" proposed by elites of global tech companies, technocrats, and futurists.\u003cbr\u003e In particular, it points out the emptiness of discussions that use easy metaphors like “posthuman” or “transhuman” to refer to the bodies of disabled people combined with machines at the forefront. \u003cbr\u003eWhile it is true that scientific and medical achievements have cured diseases and improved the functions of damaged bodies, integrating with machines in real life is never a smooth experience. Some technologies are not only inaccessible to people with disabilities, but promises of an end to disability erase the various possibilities for people with disabilities to live better in the here and now.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e For some people, providing sign language or written information may be more appropriate than technology that improves hearing, or a wheelchair may be more appropriate than a robotic exoskeleton.\u003cbr\u003e The bodies of people with disabilities are so diverse that they cannot be standardized, even if they have the same type of disability, and each person faces different situations.\u003cbr\u003e (…) The gazes covered with warmth and charity close their eyes to the reality of disabled cyborgs, and only promote futuristic images as ambassadors for technological optimism. \u003cbr\u003eWe keep postponing the task of addressing the pain and barriers experienced by people with disabilities here and now to a future when technology will advance.\u003cbr\u003e Ramps, elevators, and sign language interpretation don't require cutting-edge, amazing technology to make it happen.\u003cbr\u003e - Page 87\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e As people with disabilities who have developed their own modes of mobility, communication, and everyday wisdom through close interaction with machines, the two authors boldly bring the unique experiences and newly constructed identities of people with disabilities through the combination of their bodies and senses with technology to the center of discourse on science, technology, and the future.\u003cbr\u003e This is not just to point out the myths and harms of technological optimism, or to expose those who are left out of such discussions. \u003cbr\u003eIn an era where the human condition is increasingly intertwined with technological civilization, the experiences of people with disabilities, who have endured and integrated the daily bumps, seams, and steps that arise from the connection and discord with machines and the environment built around non-disabled people, can play a significant role in helping us imagine and design a different future.\u003cbr\u003e Furthermore, if we view technology not simply as a tool to compensate for damage, but as an opportunity to define disabled people as \"extended\" beings rather than \"deficient\" beings by constructing parts of their bodies, and as beings \"connected\" to the world and others, I believe we can envision a future in which all humans can live equally and fully, despite their inherent vulnerabilities and dependencies.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eWhen a visually impaired person moves as one with a guide dog, or when a person with severe brain damage connects with a wheelchair and then connects with an activity support worker who pushes the wheelchair, the experience of overcoming the many misalignments, discord, and gaps in connection between these two is the capacity that we 'need to strengthen' in the future.\u003cbr\u003e (…) I said that people with vulnerable physical conditions, such as disabilities or illnesses, may be the ones who can exert their capabilities in the automated and seamless society that some tech elites dream of.\u003cbr\u003e As a being who has the courage to reveal the differences and the ability to willingly endure misaligned seams.\u003cbr\u003e - Pages 250-251\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Therefore, in this book, 'cyborg' goes far beyond the dictionary definition of an organism combined with a machine. \u003cbr\u003eKim Cho-yeop and Kim Won-young use the symbol \"cyborg\" to symbolize the ensemble of humans, science, technology, nature, the environment, and all other physical and cultural elements interacting, complementing and caring for one another, and coexisting.\u003cbr\u003e This book will be an intellectual journey that examines the specific realities of \"disabled cyborgs\" at the forefront and imagines a world without hierarchy, beyond the barriers of normality or standards.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eFix, fill, add, and repair\u003cbr\u003e The imagination of a cyborg redesigning the world\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Kim Cho-yeop, a woman who majored in natural science and works as a science fiction writer, had long struggled to connect these elements of herself with her identity as a hearing impaired person. She believed that depicting beings with different cognitive and sensory worlds through science fiction and creating a space-time centered around them was a separate issue from her disability. \u003cbr\u003eHowever, in the process of writing this book, I discovered people with various types of disabilities, including my partner Wonyoung Kim, each navigating an unfriendly world in their own way, and I encountered the courage to shake up rigid hierarchies and norms of normalcy and call for a structural change in the world. Only then was I able to connect and integrate the various identities within me.\u003cbr\u003e Because we have established that a person's identity cannot be separated from the way his body interacts with the world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In this book, Kim Cho-yeop introduces people with disabilities who actively participate in the field of science and technology by reconfiguring, modifying, or repairing machines connected to their bodies, as well as developers who design tools and environments with the needs and accessibility of people with disabilities at the center. \u003cbr\u003eFrom kitchens for the visually impaired designed to allow the entire cooking process to be confirmed through touch and sound, to houses designed with ramps at the center for wheelchair access, to text interpretation services for the hearing impaired, to online games with meticulous accessibility settings so that people of all physical abilities can participate, to YouTubers sharing their daily lives and advocating for their rights, people with disabilities are no longer just objects of kindness and charity, but are fully demonstrating their potential as knowledge producers.\u003cbr\u003e Kim Cho-yeop introduces the concept of 'creep technoscience', recently proposed in disability studies, and gives positive meaning to this movement.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Crib Technoscience seeks to focus on how people with disabilities reconfigure everyday technologies and reshape the world within their specific experiences of disability. \u003cbr\u003ePeople with disabilities are not simply recipients of the world or shaped by it; they are actively re-creators of the world.\u003cbr\u003e (…) People with disabilities are constantly ‘tinkering’ with their surroundings, as well as with their local communities and communities.\u003cbr\u003e Disability scholars have coined the term \"creating a world for people with disabilities.\"\u003cbr\u003e The work of disabled people adapting to their disabilities and creatively repairing their environments (…) If this everyday knowledge is properly captured, we will be able to secure knowledge that will be helpful not only to disabled people, but to all people with vulnerabilities and dependencies.\u003cbr\u003e - Pages 188-189\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eKim Cho-yeop then critically examines the ways in which recent science fiction works portray disabled characters and the perspectives on designing the world surrounding them, suggesting that the genre of science fiction can serve as a place for thought experiments, exploring a future in which each individual's subjective world coexists despite their incomplete understanding, and the unknown realm that can be reached by striving to imagine the lives of others. This is because science fiction is a story that rebuilds the world from the ground up, centering on other beings, and is a \"story that explores accessibility,\" such as devising ways to take humans to the past and future, space and the deep sea, or designing an environment where non-human beings can live. \u003cbr\u003eSo, what kind of future does Kim Cho-yeop aspire to? He envisions a world free of meritocracy, which assigns hierarchy to physical conditions and pursues only physical and mental competence, and proposes the concept of \"cyborg neutrality.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Cyborgs are always precarious and unstable beings, teetering between contempt and superiority.\u003cbr\u003e So, can we imagine 'cyborgism' not as an icon at the forefront of transhumanism, not as an alienated machine-human who frowns at everyone he meets, but simply as a neutral characteristic of humans?\u003cbr\u003e (…) Even if it is a very difficult imagination, I believe that a future where vulnerable people can comfortably be themselves is more liberating than a world where everyone is ‘competent.’\u003cbr\u003e (…) Let’s redesign the spaceship where other beings live and share a single space. \u003cbr\u003eSuch a design would require numerous drawings.\u003cbr\u003e (…) If we look at those countless drawings together and continue to revise them, we may be able to create a future different from the present.\u003cbr\u003e - Pages 281-282\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eSlow, misaligned, and slippery bodies appearing in a smooth world\u003cbr\u003e The ontology of expansion and coalescence that emerges from the gaps they create\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Unlike Kim Cho-yeop, who had an 'invisible disability', Kim Won-young, who had significantly shorter legs and longer arms than others and a body that could not walk, was interested in the shape and structure of his own body from a young age.\u003cbr\u003e He, who had been perceiving himself as a being of 'nothingness', lacking something compared to a standard body, discovered himself 'existing' there in a new form as a combination of 'human + wheelchair' when he stood in front of a mirror with a wheelchair he had encountered for the first time at the age of fifteen.\u003cbr\u003e We are faced with the question of identity: 'Who on earth are you?' \u003cbr\u003eHe brings this question to the gaze of science and technology, which seeks to eliminate obstacles, that is, to eliminate my 'absence'.\u003cbr\u003e If a wheelchair is merely a tool to compensate for my shortcomings, then even with the most advanced wheelchairs developed, wouldn't I still be a \"deficient\" human being? If I consider the wheelchair a part of my body, then what kind of person would I be once I step out of it? Kim Won-young addresses this long-standing question through a concrete, everyday scene where people with different physical conditions and abilities come together with machines and technology to help one another.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Y (who is wheelchair-bound and hearing impaired) visited an auto repair shop in Gyeonggi Province in late summer 2020 to have an auto box installed.\u003cbr\u003e (…) As B, a person with a disability, gained expertise as an auto mechanic, he probably also became interested in auto boxes, which are needed by many wheelchair users around him. \u003cbr\u003eJ's father, A, watched his daughter (who is hearing impaired) grow into an architectural expert through hearing aids and digital devices, and he would have had a special interest in the relationship between disability and technology and Y's professional growth as a friend of his daughter.\u003cbr\u003e Knowing Y well, I recognize that Y may have difficulty communicating with people wearing masks, and because I use a wheelchair like Y, I understand the specifics of vehicles for people with disabilities (which A is not familiar with).\u003cbr\u003e In this way, Y, I, J's father A, mechanic B, J's car, and the machine called the autobox met at that place and cooperated and exchanged opinions in various ways to install an autobox suitable for Y in his new car.\u003cbr\u003e - Pages 111-112\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eViewing the disabled body combined with technology through the symbol of a cyborg is not to praise the \"humanistic hero\" who overcame disability through the power of science and technology, or to discover a \"hybrid being\" who crosses the boundaries between machine and human, normal and abnormal.\u003cbr\u003e Like duct tape that is placed anywhere and mends and connects objects, it is to focus on the relationships that fill in each other's vulnerabilities and form a network within the close network of humans and other humans, science and technology, culture and the environment.\u003cbr\u003e Kim Won-young describes these inconspicuous yet deeply connected and caring beings as “heroic, like duct tape” (borrowing the expression used by reporter Kim Hye-ri in her article on the film “The Martian”).\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eIf we can view the disabled body, which has become one with the machine, as a new identity, is it also possible to fashion that body? How should a body equipped with a machine express its desire for beauty? Kim Won-young, still conflicted about whether to find a way to be beautiful with a wheelchair, like Paralympic track and field athlete Amy Mullins, who revealed her sleek figure with her elegantly curved carbon fiber prosthetic legs, or to proudly reveal her \"natural\" self after leaving her wheelchair, cites Amy Mullins' words about feeling \"naked\" without her prosthetic legs to describe her relationship with her wheelchair.\u003cbr\u003e The prosthetics fitted on the body of a disabled person are a kind of home, a place that cannot be reduced to mere tools or designs. \u003cbr\u003eIn this way, Kim Won-young explores a new ontology that explains people with disabilities who use prosthetics such as wheelchairs, hearing aids, white canes, and artificial limbs throughout the book.\u003cbr\u003e He focuses on the abilities of people with disabilities who are struggling to adapt to the trend of cutting-edge tech companies like Apple and Tesla pursuing ever-more seamless designs and designs that minimize human intervention, and who complain about the inconvenience.\u003cbr\u003e In a situation where the majority says it's convenient, the presence of a disabled person who says, \"I can't access it,\" creates cracks and seams in the smooth world, giving us another opportunity to think.\u003cbr\u003e In that gap, we connect with others with different bodies, senses, and minds, and we stand beside each other, caring for each other's vulnerabilities.\u003cbr\u003e Kim Won-young awaits the future technologies that will emerge from this very gap.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eI would like to say that the condition of life called coalition is a life that is connected to the ‘other’ who may appear at any time.\u003cbr\u003e The typist is my support worker, my guide dog, my wheelchair, my hearing aid, my auto box, my duct tape, my friends, my audience, and my readers.\u003cbr\u003e (…) It could be a person who repeatedly tears paper, a strange teenage boy who asks himself in the mirror, “Who the hell are you?”, or a science fiction novelist who appears like a comet and draws up a picture of a space hero we’ve never seen before.\u003cbr\u003e Maybe it's an animal face.\u003cbr\u003e These 'others', who transport us to worlds and identities we never imagined, appear as errors in the smooth order of knowledge, technology, ideas, political beliefs, and wisdom that we believed to be firm. \u003cbr\u003eInstead of rejecting, repelling, and wiping away such errors, the community of care begins a new exploration between the seams opened by the errors.\u003cbr\u003e What will the knowledge and technology that helps others, helps as others, and helps others help themselves, be open to the emergence of the future-other, look like?\u003cbr\u003e - Pages 305-307\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eKim Won-young and Kim Cho-yeop become partners.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Kim Won-young and Kim Cho-yeop grew up within the explosive growth of the disability rights movement in Korean society since the 2000s.\u003cbr\u003e In other words, they have developed a perspective that accepts their disability as an identity rather than a 'lack' and resists the social structure that makes physical impairment a disability. \u003cbr\u003eFrom this perspective, attempts by science and technology to treat, correct, and eliminate disabilities are bound to be viewed critically, but as individuals who have sustained life and improved bodily functions through the achievements of science and technology, they have chosen to intervene in that direction rather than exclude science and technology.\u003cbr\u003e Although the two people are headed in similar directions, they unfold different themes stemming from their gender identities, types of disabilities, intellectual backgrounds, and life paths.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Kim Won-young, a person with a physical disability, a lawyer, an actor, and a history of rehabilitation schools and disability rights communities, pursues his interest in the form and movement of the body, and further describes how to define the state of the body when it meets artificial prosthetics, whether it can be beautiful in itself, and what unexpected encounters occur when such beings appear in a space filled with standard or normal bodies. \u003cbr\u003eOn the other hand, Kim Cho-yeop, a woman with sensory impairment, science fiction writer, and science major, is more interested in how people with diverse bodies and senses create tools, environments, and worlds that are suitable for them in the fields of science, technology, and creativity.\u003cbr\u003e The conversation at the back of this book features two people who find interesting perspectives on each other's differences.\u003cbr\u003e Kim Cho-yeop, who does not usually wear a hearing aid, is intrigued by Kim Won-young, who feels the wheelchair as a part of the body and explores its aesthetic potential. Kim Won-young, who has been a member of a community of people with disabilities for a long time, is amazed by Kim Cho-yeop's perspective on the world, embodying the perspective of disability studies without such experience.\u003cbr\u003e Discovering the rich meaning that arises when their experiences and perspectives intersect will also be a great joy for readers of this book.\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e \"]\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"height:10px\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"height:10px\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:95%;padding-top:20px;padding-bottom:20px\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align:left;font-size:16px;font-weight:bold;padding-bottom:20px\"\u003e GOODS SPECIFICS\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align:left;font-size:14px;line-height:1.6em;\"\u003e\n\n \u003cdiv style=\"width:100%;margin-bottom:5px;line-height:1.6em;font-size:14px\"\u003e- \u003cstrong\u003eDate of issue:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 15, 2021\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:100%;margin-bottom:5px;line-height:1.6em;font-size:14px\"\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003ePage count, weight, size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 368 pages | 570g | 140*210*21mm\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:100%;margin-bottom:5px;line-height:1.6em;font-size:14px\"\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9791160947045\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:100%;margin-bottom:5px;line-height:1.6em;font-size:14px\"\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/strong\u003e 116094704X \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"height:10px\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"height:10px\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\n\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/center\u003e","brand":"LIBRAIRIE COREENNE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43894103998506,"sku":"105665","price":29.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0683\/2750\/5962\/files\/3b0fefa65439502d437d9a34da826308.jpg?v=1765428888","url":"https:\/\/librairie.coreenne.fr\/en\/products\/105665","provider":"LIBRAIRIE COREENNE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
