Disability Arts and Culture Summary

Disability Arts and Culture: Methods and Approaches by Petra Kuppers (University of Michigan, USA)

This collection offers insight into different study approaches to disability art and culture practices, and asks: what does it mean to approach disability-focused cultural production and consumption as generative sites of meaning-making? International scholars and practitioners use ethnographic and participatory action research approaches; textual and discourse analysis; as well as other methods to discover how disability figures into our contemporary world(s).

Chapters within the collection explore, amongst other topics, deaf theatre productions, representations of disability on-screen, community engagement projects and disabled bodies in dance. Disability Arts and Culture provides a comprehensive overview and a range of case studies benefitting both the practitioner and scholar.

Disability Arts and Culture Reviews

'The essays take an unflinching look at disability, unpacking the narratives of disability that are presented in television and other media. [...] Disability Arts and Culture shares multiple experiences of disability to challenge the single story of disability as an inferior state that must be fixed and instead, shows states of being entitled to their agency.'

-- Nicole Y. McClam, Journal of Dance Education
