SEMINAR FLYER
‘Cultures of disability: Interdisciplinary Dialogues’
3rd July 2008, Manchester Metropolitan University, UK
This event is organised by Manchester Metropolitan University’s Social Change and Well Being Research Centre
(http://www.rihsc.mmu.ac.uk/scwb/wellbeing/index.php) and the English Research Institute (http://www.eri.mmu.ac.uk/) in
association with the Journal of Literary Disability (http://www.journalofliterarydisability.com/). It will bring together
activists, academics and practitioners around the seminar theme of ‘Cultures of disability: Interdisciplinary Dialogues’.
Participants are invited to discuss the ways in which different disciplines and areas of cultural life allow possibilities for
theorising and transforming disablism in contemporary society. Each participant will be asked to outline their disciplinary
perspective, apply this to an area of disabling society and critically examine the possibilities and limits of their analysis.
This seminar will promote disability studies’ engagement with the arts, dance, drama, literature, philosophy, psychology,
performance and humanities. Themes to explore will include:
• Arts for mental health
• Biological citizenship
• Disabling and enabling cultural domains
• Bioethics and biopolitics
• Narrative and performativity
• Bodies with/out limits
• Community art
