| Additional Course Info | Class Number: 1455 How are bodies and minds depicted as "normal" or "abnormal"? This course will address how bodily differences and impairments are given social meaning as disability, and how these disabilities are portrayed in literary genres including scripture, hagiography, poetry, drama, novels, short stories, and memoir. We study these depictions from the perspective of disability studies, a discipline that seeks to understand the cultural meanings and material realities of disability with respect to systems of oppression.; Pre-requisite(s): Completion of the Writing Requirement; Enrollment Limit: 25.00 Humanities, A: Meaning, Interpretation (Texts) (; Hav: HU, A) |
