| Abstract
|
:
|
This book visually analyzes images of the body in visual culture--from painting, sculpture, photography, and performance art to medical displays to the nineteenth- and twentieth-century freak show--placing the work of disabled and non-disabled artists in critical dialogue. Pursuing the agenda of disability studies, this book examines western art history and draws parallels to sexism, racism, classism, and heterosexism/homophobia.
