HUS 221: Disability, Science, Politics
Undergraduate 3 credits
SBC: DIV; STAS
A study of the disabled body in nineteenth century Iberian cultural production. An inquiry into who was considered disabled and what were the consequences of being discriminated as such. We will focus on physical, social and economic differences in order to understand them. We will study human and cultural differences and will discuss issues of gender, race, varying abilities and disabilities, socioeconomic level, sexual orientation. We will also focus on medicine and science, as medicine discourse and treatises have established what a disability is and turned disability into a social construct.
