230211 "Cripples, Bastards, and Broken Things" - Literary Representations of Disability and Gender (S) (SoSe 2019)
Contents, comment
-
"Disability is everywhere in literature. Whether in the bodies that populate countless narratives containing physical disability, or in the mental difference that informs so much detail about character and psychology, disability features in literary production as a constant presence" (Barker & Murray, "On Reading Disability in Literature")
The seminar will introduce students to concepts of disability theory and the critical approaches necessary to identify reductive and stereotypical representations of disability in literary texts. Moreover, we will look at how and why disability representations might be influenced by gender.
