- Inhalt
- The last decades have seen an upsurge of autobiographical writing as well as of digital self-presentations by disabled writers. This seminar focuses on mostly British examples (five printed autobiographies, one blog and one video blog) from the 1980s to the present, which narrate life stories shaped by physical, sensory and neurodevelopmental disabilities. The course introduces ‘disability’ as a new intersectional category in literary and cultural studies as well as ‘disability autobiography’ as a new narrative genre that spreads across different media. We will explore how the texts respond to medical pre-inscriptions and mass media representations of disabled bodies, investigate intersections between the categories of disability, gender, sexual orientation and ethnicity and discuss if (and how) the texts produce novel representations of diversity that challenge cultural stereotypes and medical categories.
