LIT 254 - Textual Perspectives-Literature of Disability

This course explores the connection between literary representation and disability. How does literature both perpetuate and challenge stereotypes of the disabled as abnormal, inform, or infantile? What kinds of bodies are deemed faulty? How is disability imagined or reimagined, and by whom? How do narratives about the disabled differ from narratives written by people with disabilities? This course fulfills the Human Diversity graduation requirement.
