Physical and mental disability traditionally garners impressions of helplessness, asexuality, and invisibility that certainly extend to popular media. However, these attitudes have been challenged in recent years with the demand for more inclusive representations through diverse lenses. This panel aims to reexamine the representation of disability in film, TV and other media beyond education to consider the theoretical , cultural, aesthetic and historical implications that disability conveys as a site for reconsidering identity and body politics, often through transgression.

What does it mean to make a book? Fourteenth-century France and beyond

Friday, September 15, 2023

In the fourteenth century, book-making became a well-established trade in France. With extensive networks of professionals and readers, streamlined production, and consolidated norms, the French book acquired distinctiveness. We invite papers that explore how the distinctively bookish and reflexive character of French literature of the period may be linked to the practices of book-making. Papers could ask what, exactly, book-making meant, how it was represented (in literature, visual culture, and beyond), and what methods we might best employ to discuss book media holistically. Papers that compare book-making from elsewhere to the French context are encouraged.
