GENDR ST 705 / Disability, Subjectivity, and Visual Representation

3 unit(s)

Drawing on perspectives in contemporary disability studies, we consider how “alternative corporealities” (McRuer 2006) agitate able-bodied representational practices and how crip constitutions of embodiment re-orient and dis-orient understandings of subjectivity and intersubjectivity. We will examine recent developments that intersect queer theory and disability theory, historical and contemporary feminist work on disability, and embodiment perspectives in critical race theory.
