Abstract
Disability aesthetics
Highlights
Siebers’ previous book, Disability theory, was an attempt to make disability an inevitable and subversive category in the framework of critical and cultural theory
Tobin Siebers, Professor of English Language and Literature at the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor, is a key figure in US disability studies. His title is a strong indicator of the orientation of the American research tradition towards literary and cultural topics; to a much greater extent than in Europe, where the field tends towards the social sciences rather than the humanities
Siebers’ overarching argument is that the representation of disability is absolutely essential to modern art and visual culture, and that disability is central to the formation of modern aesthetics itself
