The editors turned to the existing corpus of disability theory with its impressive insights about the social and cultural mediation of disabled bodies. They then sought, from scholars at every stage of their careers, new ideas about how disabled bodies coexist with a range of other bodies (gendered, queered, racialized, classed, etc.). \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e To call into question why certain bodies invite the label \"problem\" more frequently than other bodies, the contributors draw on scholarship from feminist, race, queer, cultural studies, disability, and film studies arenas. In Chivers and Markotic's introduction, they draw on disability theory and a range of cinematic examples to explain the term \"problem body\" in relation to its projection. In explorations of film noir, illness narratives, classical Hollywood film, and French film, the essays reveal the \"problem body\" as a multiplication of lived circumstances constructed both physically and socially.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSally Chivers is associate professor and Chair of Canadian Studies at Trent University.
