Abstract:
In modernist music, disability functions as an artistic resource: a source of images and an impetus for narrative. Disability enables musical modernism. Modernist music is centrally concerned with the representation of disabled bodies. Its most characteristic features—fractured forms, immobilized harmonies, conflicting textural layers, radical simplification of means in some cases, and radical complexity and hermeticism in others—can be understood as musical representations of disability conditions, including deformity/disfigurement, mobility impairment, madness, idiocy, and autism. Although modernist music embodies negative, eugenic-era attitudes toward disability, it also affirmatively claims disability as a resource, thus manifesting its disability aesthetics.

Abstract:
Scholars often argue that physical description in the Hebrew Bible narrative is used primarily to convey important information for the understanding the plot, rather than a clear visual image of the character, for the reader. This chapter examines some of the implications of this argument for the critical study of disability and nondisability imagery in biblical narrative. It argues that the two most frequent types of physical description in biblical narrative, attractiveness and disability, operate according to the same narrative logic as physical description in general. They are not necessarily included to indicate an extraordinary or unusual physical feature. Instead, they are described to help explain the plot of the story regardless of how unusual or commonplace the feature or condition was in ancient Israelite cultures. The chapter makes use of this argument to question reading strategies that assume that disability is presented as abnormal in biblical narrative.

Abstract:
This chapter examines the theme of disability, including attitudes toward disability and ideas about deviations from the bodily norm, that Bujold explores in her fictional work. While disability is rarely treated in science fiction and fantasy, it is ubiquitous in Bujold's work. Most visible is Miles Vorkosigan himself, whose fetus was damaged by an insurgent's attack and who struggles with his brittle bones and other problems throughout the early decades of his life. But to Miles can be added many other characters whose physical or mental disabilities are a crucial part of the narrative, from the brain-damaged Dubauer in Shards of Honor to the one-handed Dag in the Sharing Knife sequence, and Cazaril, with a mutilated hand and a demonic stomach tumor, in the first Chalion book. Bujold has declared that she was never writing books about issues: they are about character. The disabilities with which her characters have to cope “do not comprise the sums of their characters nor the reasons for their existences, but are just plot-things that happen to them and with which they must deal, daily or otherwise,” and she adds that the letters she gets from disabled readers suggest that they prefer that approach.

Abstract:
This chapter uses disability studies theory to analyze the political and cultural significations of the body amidst Roman conquest. Extending the insights of scholars who have examined way Roman colonial dominance reshapes Jewish gender discourse, it argues that imperial violence similarly restructures the way rabbinic narrative portrays the body. Bavli Gittin and Lamentations Rabbah both recount stories of Rabbi Tsadok, a celebrated priest who fasted for forty years in an attempt to avert the destruction of Jerusalem. In contrast to the beauty tales examined in the previous chapter, Rabbi Tsadok’s body is used to mark the visceral impact of Roman conquest—and to chronicle the enduring scar that catastrophe leaves upon the flesh. Yet even as these stories use disability to make visible the tremendous loss that destruction brings, they also resignify the cultural logic of imperial victory, emphasizing the subversive power of disabled Jewish flesh.

Abstract:
In 1988, Sandi and Larry Zobrest became agents in the struggle for disability rights when they sued a suburban Tucson, Arizona, school district to obtain public funding for the signed language interpreter their deaf son Jim needed in high school. Such funding would have been unproblematic under the Education for All Handicapped Children Act (later retitled the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act) if Jim went to a public high school, but they were intent on his attending a Roman Catholic school. The law was unclear on the legality of public money assisting students with disabilities to attend religiously affiliated schools, but it had long been a general principle of interpretation of the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment in the U.S. Supreme Court that governments must be cautious about dispensing public resources to religious institutions. Their successful lawsuit represents a classic American clash of rights. This history of the Zobrests’ lawsuit begins well before they went to court. The narrative extends back to Jim’s birth in 1974, a pediatrician’s diagnosis of deafness, and the efforts of his parents, who are not deaf, to seek resources for their son’s education prior to high school. It analyzes their desire to mainstream Jim for preparation for life in the hearing world, not in the Deaf community, and the succession of choices they made to that end.

Abstract:
Francesco da Firenze (often called Landini) and Antonio da Teramo were two of the most important Italian composers of the late fourteenth centuries. Though both reached the pinnacles of fame, contemporary descriptions and pictorial images of both composers highlight aspects of disability. Francesco “il Cieco” was blind, and Antonio “Zachara” was short of stature, wore his arm in a sling, and had only two or three fingers on each hand. Chronicles of their lives contain a narrative of compensation with respect to Francesco and an overcoming of disability for Antonio, who was scribe to the pope. Accounts of the intellectual prowess and artistic renown of composers and theorists with disabilities abound throughout the Middle Ages and Early Renaissance and suggest that disability was viewed primarily as a distinctive difference. For instance, blind composers were held responsible for the graphical notation of their works to the same extent as sighted musicians.

Abstract:
Music tells stories, including stories about disability (culturally stigmatized, nonnormative minds and bodies). Modernist music has particular sorts of stories it tells about disability, and particular ways of telling them. Surveying the long history of disability narratives, it is possible to identify four principal sorts of stories: overcoming/restitution/cure narratives, conversion/quest narratives, chaos narratives, and acceptance narratives. The stories that modernist music tells about disability tend to avoid traditional overcoming and quest narratives in favor of chaos and acceptance narratives. Chaos narratives represent disability as permanent, incurable, and incomprehensible; acceptance narratives represent disability as a potentially desirable way of being in the world, with no impulse toward normalization or cure.

Abstract:
Articulating Bodies investigates the contemporaneous developments of Victorian fiction and disability’s medicalization by focusing on the intersection between narrative form and the body. The book examines texts from across the century, from Frederic Shoberl’s 1833 English translation of Victor Hugo’s Notre-Dame de Paris (1831) to Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes story “The Adventure of the Crooked Man” (1893), covering genres that typically relied upon disabled or diseased characters. By tracing the patterns of focalization and narrative structure across six decades of the nineteenth century and across six genres, Articulating Bodies shows the mutability of the Victorians’ understanding of the human body’s centrality to identity—an understanding made mutable by changes in science, technology, religion, and class. It also demonstrates how that understanding changed along with developing narrative styles: as disability became increasingly medicalized and the soul increasingly psychologized, the mode of looking at deviant bodies shifted from gaping at spectacle to scrutinizing specimen, and the shape of narratives evolved from lengthy multiple-plot novels to slim case studies. Moreover, the book illustrates that, despite this overall linear movement from spectacle to specimen in literature and culture, individual texts consistently reveal ambivalence about categorizing the body, positioning some bodies as abnormally deviant while also denying the reality or stability of normalcy. Bodies in Victorian fiction never remain stable entities, in spite of narrative drives and the social, medical, or scientific discourses that attempted to control and understand them.

Abstract:
Comics and other graphic narratives powerfully represent embodied experiences that are difficult to express in language. A group of authors from various countries and disciplines explore the unique capacity of graphic narratives to represent human embodiment as well as the relation of human bodies to the worlds they inhabit. Using works from illustrated scientific texts to contemporary comics across national traditions, we discover how the graphic narrative can shed new light on everyday experiences. Essays examine topics that are easily recognized as anchored in the body as well as experiences like migration and concepts like environmental degradation and compassion that emanate from or impact on our embodied states. Graphic Embodiments is of interest to scholars and students across various interdisciplinary fields including comics studies, gender and sexuality studies, visual and cultural studies, disability studies and health and medical humanities.

Abstract:
Michael Nyman’s 1986 operaThe Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat, with a libretto based on Oliver Sacks’s “clinical tale” of the same title, functions as a meta-opera at several levels: it is a book within an opera, a neurological case study within an opera, and an ongoing internal song recital within an opera. Most of all, it is a clinical tale—the only narrative medicine opera in the modern operatic repertoire. This essay draws connections between Nyman’s opera—a staged musical work based on one doctor’s subjective experience diagnosing a unique pathology—and a socially constructed model of disability. Nyman’s opera and subsequent scholarship on the piece would seem to humanize disability through the guise of narrative medical practice; but, actually, the medical model, with all its potential for devastation, remains in place throughout.

Abstract:
Deploying the concepts and techniques of Body Studies, this book remaps Willa Cather’s writing from the 1890s through to 1940. This study of embodiment and narrative focuses on the senses and reads Cather as a writer at the transition from late Victorian to Modernist models of representation. The book presents suggestive new ways of understanding her depictions of disability , male bodies and Native American culture, not to mention her narratives of whiteness and of the black body. The book explores Cather’s ‘sensorium’ – her imaginative exploration of sounds, sights, tastes, smells and the tactile. Sensing Willa Cather draws on recent work in queer, disability, ageing and food studies to re-contextualize her fiction. The first three chapters explore Cather’s writing in relationship to sense studies, and also such movements as Aestheticism and Modernism. The next five, roughly tracing the evolution of her career from an apprenticeship as a reviewer and journalist through to the established novelist, focus on the five senses. Sight, sound, touch, taste, and smell: each sense is successively linked to Cather’s work, and used to explore her profound interest in corporealism. The final chapter. ‘The Body of the Author’, then examines Cather’s last novel, Sapphira and the Slave Girl, and Cather’s representation both of her own bodily presence and that of other writers.

Full text
Abstract:
The central features of Stravinsky’s musical style, including its formal splinteredness, its harmonic immobility, its stratification into contrasting textural layers, and its radical simplification of musical materials, can be understood as ways of representing and narrating disability, including deformity/disfigurement, mobility impairment, madness, and idiocy. These representations sometimes perpetuate pernicious eugenic-era stereotypes and sometimes are more accepting, even celebratory, of extraordinary bodies. This chapter offers a close look at three musical works from Stravinsky’s early “Russian” period, with particular attention to a few selected passages: the “Russian Dance” from Petrushka (1911), the “Dance of the Young Girls” from the Rite of Spring (1913), and the second of the Three Pieces for String Quartet (1914).

Sickness is defined as follows: The inability of individuals to pursue their goals and purposes because of impairments in functioning. Functional impairment may occur at any place from the molecular to the spiritual. This chapter explores the meaning of functioning and its relationship to personal activities and participation in society. It also discusses impairments in function, its distinction from disability, and physicians’ roles in returning patients to a functional status and a sense of well-being. Conceptual links between functioning and narrative structure are proposed.

Abstract:
Haydn’s instrumental music is often marked by peculiarities—events that feature harmonic deflections, gasping pauses, metrically dissonant accents, and the like—for which the customary methods of structural and stylistic analysis can promise only limited explanation. The evolving language of Disability Studies in music offers a vantage point for contemplating such idiosyncrasies, most notably those that suggest musical equivalents of impairment and recovery. A disability-related perspective may serve as a guide in the search for appropriate metaphors: words and images that can help breathe life into our interaction with a given work as listeners and performers. As witnessed in certain passages from Haydn’s string quartets and a symphony, a reading that shows the music to embody disabling conditions and their remediation helps us connect with emotions and experiences that may resonate with the lives of the composer and his contemporaries as well as with our own.
