The editors of the fourth volume of the Edinburgh German Yearbook (2010) would like to invite contributions on the subject of ‘Disability in German literature, film and theatre’.
Like Gender Studies, Postcolonialism and Queer Theory, Disability Studies is part of the broader discussion of difference and “otherness,” and is largely situated within debates about the politics of identity, social processes, human rights, ethics and discrimination. As a critical resistance strategy, Disability Studies has sought to retrieve the silenced voices of disabled figures from their cultural locations in literature, film and theatre, and discuss their position in relation to the counterpoint of normalcy.
