This course examines the construction of “disability” as a historical concept with real live consequences. We will learn about the different theoretical approaches to disability (“models of disability”), and explore issues regarding sexuality, relationships, rights, representation, and advocacy. We will also keep in mind the intersections with other bodily and social markers, such as gender, race, sexuality, class, and nationality. We will focus on the role culture and religion, particularly Christianity (its doctrines and practices), has played in how we understand disability as a concept, and persons with disability as members (or not) of our communities. We will analyze historical and contemporary sources like art, literature, religious and medical discourses to explore how images of the “normal,” “healthy,” and “beautiful” are generated and contested by embodied differences. For the purposes of this course, “disability” will include various ways in which bodies/minds can be seen as “abnormal,” including physical and cognitive disabilities as well as chronic illness and emotional/mental difference.
