This chapter attunes to dialogue, as we orient to it in our work and spontaneous doings with others. It is a meta dialogue, for in it we find our own utterances and incarnation, emerging and unfolding in the heteroglossia of disability. Our purpose is deconstructive as much as reconstructive, as we want to hear voices of those who speak about dialogue, disability, and the discourses of intelligibility that create our awareness, including that of ourselves. We speak in turns, from proposing a definition of dialogue, to examining the boundaries of disability, disability as social dialogue, and finally, the dialogues between us, as co-editors and academics wary of institutional disablement, that have enabled this book and spoken our words and bodies into being.

This study examines the different institutional, disciplinary, and pedagogical factors that come into play when teaching literary works with the goal of fostering dialogue, understood in the sense of civic communication and tolerance. Drawing on an Action Research approach, the analysis probes a specific experience teaching the diverse English-language short story tradition in the Canadian and German university context. The results show that to maximize the potential of teaching literary works for nurturing dialogue, instructors must navigate among multiple and at times contradictory forces reflecting institutional and disciplinary teaching priorities, divergent conceptualisations of dialogue, theoretical incongruities, varied literary and critical traditions, and complex mediation techniques.
