Disability and Visual Culture
Dr. Alice Hall
University of York
Date: Wednesday 20 March 2013
Time: 2.15pm–3.45pm
Place: Eden 109, Liverpool Hope University, UK
Dr. Alice Hall explores the relationship between disability studies and visual culture. Drawing on works by Tobin Siebers and Susan Sontag, Dr. Hall considers the shifting notions of 'disability aesthetics' in recent critical writing and how these ideas can help us to think more widely about the ethics of representing disabled bodies in twentieth and twenty-first century contexts.
Alice Hall is a lecturer in Contemporary and Global Literature in the Department of English and Related Literature at the University of York. She is the author of Disability and Modern Fiction: Faulkner, Morrison, Coetzee and the Nobel Prize for Literature (2011).
