    Tekla Babyak deposited Teaching Music and Disability Through Disclosure-Oriented Pedagogy in the group Group logo of TC Disability StudiesTC Disability Studies on MLA Commons 6 months, 2 weeks ago

    In this paper, presented at the 2022 H-Net Teaching Conference, I describe how I teach undergraduate students about disability in music through what I call disclosure-oriented pedagogy. This practice involves demonstrating cross-historical comparisons between my lived experiences of disability and the representations of disability in 19th-century…[Read more]

    Steven Swarbrick deposited Dancing with Perdita: The Choreography of Lost Time in The Winter’s Tale in the group Group logo of TC Disability StudiesTC Disability Studies on MLA Commons 2 years, 6 months ago

    Shakespeare scholarship has long been interested in the temporal dynamics of The Winter’s Tale, and has often turned to melancholic or traumatic time frames to explain the thematic persistence of lost time in Shakespeare’s romance. In this chapter, I argue that dance provides a key interpretive framework for understanding the play’s interest in bo…[Read more]

    Steven Swarbrick deposited Object-Oriented Disability: The Prosthetic Image in Paradise Lost in the group Group logo of TC Disability StudiesTC Disability Studies on MLA Commons 2 years, 12 months ago

    Though the verbal icon has a long and robust multisensory history extending beyond Milton, my goal here is to challenge ableist readings of Milton’s poetry by linking his poetic ekphrasis to the politics and aesthetics of disability.

    Recently, there has been an avalanche of news articles about spikes in mental illness on campus. Seminal works like Margaret Price’s Mad at School (2011) have begun to expose the ableism inherent in the university and prompted more open discussion surrounding the politics of disclosure.

    This article argues that the humanities and medicine fields have paid insufficient attention to race, which is reflected in and enabled by the apolitical nature of their cornerstone principles, their practices of literary interpretation, and their paucity of scholarship on writers of color. I examine the fields’ interpretation of Audre Lorde’s ill…[Read more]
