Information
Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung
The last decades have seen an upsurge of autobiographical writing as well as of multimedia self-presentations by disabled persons. This course focuses on female British authors' verbal, graphic and digital autobiographies which depict life stories shaped by physical, cognitive and psychiatric disabilities. "Disability" will be introduced as a fluid, intersectional identity category (a category intersecting with gender, sexual orientation, ethnicity/race) that challenges the binary opposition between "disabled" and "non-disabled", "normal" or "able-bodied". The course deals with the broader subject of disability as a new category in cultural and literary studies as well as with disability autobiography as a multimedia genre. We will analyse verbal, graphic and digital forms of autobiographies by investigating their narrative structures and by exploring them as creative responses to the ableist, mentalist, sexist, racist and heteronormative representations of women with physical, psychiatric and cognitive disabilities in medical discourse and the media. Furthermore, we discuss if (and how) the self-presentations in different media produce and perform unexpected, novel, controversial and strongly interactive images of bio- and neurodiversity.
