Abstract

This article connects with and builds on recent research on workmen's compensation and disability focussing on the Scottish coalfields between the wars. It draws upon a range of primary sources including coal company accident books, court cases and trade union records to analyse efforts to define and redefine disability, examining the language deployed and the agency of workers and their advocates. It is argued here that the workmen's compensation system associated disability with restricted functionality relating to work tasks and work environments. Disability became more visible and more closely monitored and this was a notably contested and adversarial terrain in Scotland in the Depression, where employers, workers and their collective organisations increasingly deployed medical expertise to support their cases regarding working and disabled bodies. In Scotland, the miners' trade unions emerged as key advocates for the disabled.

“底层狗人”:两次世界大战期间苏格兰煤田的残疾、社会福利和倡导,1918-1939。
这篇文章连接并建立在最近的关于工人补偿和残疾的研究上,这些研究集中在两次世界大战之间的苏格兰煤田。它借鉴了一系列主要来源,包括煤炭公司事故记录、法庭案件和工会记录,分析了定义和重新定义残疾的努力,审查了使用的语言和工人及其倡导者的机构。本文认为,工人补偿制度将残疾与与工作任务和工作环境有关的功能限制联系起来。残疾变得更加明显,受到更密切的监测,这在大萧条时期的苏格兰是一个非常有争议和敌对的领域,雇主、工人及其集体组织越来越多地利用医疗专业知识来支持他们关于工作和残疾身体的案件。在苏格兰,矿工工会成为残疾人权益的主要倡导者。
