Unlike in Sociology, extensive research on disability has not been conducted in Cultural Studies. In this video, SUSANNE HARTWIG analyzes the ways in which disability has been portrayed in aesthetic texts and how this has developed over time. While stereotypical and reassuring representations of disability remain the norm, Hartwig observes that more unsettling depictions (which lead readers/spectators to question their assumptions) have become more prominent in recent years. With demographic change and aging populations shifting this subject center stage, Hartwig’s research promises to shed light on cultural representations of disability so that we might better understand how our real-world attitudes can evolve in positive directions.
