Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Space Perception of the Blind Things? In reality to the blind, time serves instead of space. N ear ness and distance mean to them nothing more, than the shorter or longer time, the smaller or greater number of feelings [sensations], which he requires, in order to get from one feeling [sensation] to another. The fact that the blind person employs the language of sight, may very well deceive, and did deceive me when I first began my investigations but in reality he knows nothing of things as outside one another, and (this especially I have observed very plainly), if the objects and. The difi'erent parts of the body with which they come in contact did not make dz'fl'rent kinds of im pressions on the sensory-nerves, he would regard everything ex ternal as one thing, that acts successively upon him, e.g., more strongly when he places his hand on a surface than when he lays a finger on it, more faintly still when he strokes a surface with his hand or passes the foot over it. In his own body he distinguishes between head and feet not in the least by distance, but merely by the incredible fineness with which he can recognize differences in the feelings [sensations] experienced in the one or the Other of these parts, and alsq by time. In the same way he distinguishes the form of other bodies purely by the kinds of the feelings [impressions on the sense of touch], since, e.g., a cube.

I am sur prised myself to think that I am signing my name as the author of a book on such a subject. Ten years ago I certainly would not have written it, for the blind man feels an invincible dislike to talking to others about his infirmity. A sense of duty has made me conquer this feeling. The blind are victims Of the ignorance of the public concerning their real condition. By explaining something of their psychology, I am helping to defend them against the prejudices which are the chief barrier to their professional activity.

Download or read book Practical Geography for the Blind Classic Reprint written by Clara L. Pratt and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-16 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Practical Geography for the Blind In order to make geography practical to our non-seeing people, we must contrive means whereby the fingers may tell that which our eyes reveal to as. Fortunately few of us share the opinion of some workers in the field that geography cannot be taught to the blind. We believe that it can, al though we concede that they may not get the same picture of great spaces, the immensity of mountains, and the glory of autumn forests as we do. With models, maps, and cut outs, accompanied by explanations we can give to them much that will convey to them satisfactory impressions. Work along this line has gone slowly indeed through the years, but apparatus is now being devised more rapidly, and we should soon find our schools well equipped. Good maps and globes are very important features in either learning or teaching geography and, though we believe that the best way is to have each pupil make his own map, yet he must have a correct map to study and to copy from. A hundred years ago, embossed maps were hardly known. They were ill-made, the lines so indistinct as to be hard to follow, and the line-type markings made them rather cumber some. Modern maps are quite uniform, undetailed, and easy to understand. A careful study of plate-making with proper paper and proven schemes for representing each map feature has enabled us to produce excellent braille maps. Relief globes are a far more difficult proposition, - so much so that the expensive process of making them forbids their being sold at a reasonable price. Therefore, we use our own methods of depicting continents, parallels, meridians, etc., which fill our many needs.

Download or read book Embodiment Identity and Disability Sport written by Ben Powis and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-03-23 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book investigates the complex relationship between embodiment, identity and disability sport, based on ethnographic research with an international-level visually impaired cricket team. Alongside issues of empowerment, classification and valorisation, it conceptualises the sensuous dimension of being in disability sport and challenges the idealised notion of the sporting body. It explores the players’ lived experiences of participating and competing in an elite disabled sport culture and uses an embodied theoretical approach drawing upon sociology, phenomenology and contemporary disability theory to examine aspects of this previously unexamined research "site," both on and off the pitch. Written in a way that values and accurately represents the participants’ traditionally marginalised voices, the book analyses the role that elite disability sport plays in the construction of identity and helps us to better understand the relationships between disability, sport and wider society. Embodiment, Identity and Disability Sport is essential reading for any student, researcher, practitioner or policymaker working in disability sport, and a source of useful new perspectives for anybody with an interest in the sociology of sport or disability studies.
