Course Catalog Description:: At any given moment in history, what are the socio-cultural forces that give rise to an understanding of physical difference? What forces enable self-expression, self-determination, and liberation from this understanding? This course explores the history of disability and the representations of disability in literature, art, and culture. We will investigate theory and praxis of disability studies in France. Spanning the Renaissance to the present day, this course seeks to understand the experiences of disabled people and their communities in different periods, through a variety of genres and media, exploring medical histories, representation (for a public presumed to be able-bodied), memoir, activism, and art and literature by disabled people.
Class Notes:: This course is completely online in a synchronous format. The course will meet online at the scheduled times. Some Wednesday class sessions may be replaced by asynchronous work for graduate students.
Class Description:: Student may contact the instructor or department for information.
