The Routledge Companion to Art and Disability explores disability in visual culture to uncover the ways in which bodily and cognitive differences are articulated physically and theoretically, and to demonstrate the ways in which disability is culturally constructed. This companion is organized thematically and includes artists from across historical periods and cultures in order to demonstrate the ways in which disability is historically and culturally contingent. The book engages with questions such as: How are people with disabilities represented in art? How are notions of disability articulated in relation to ideas of normality, hybridity, and anomaly? How do artists use visual culture to affirm or subvert notions of the normative body? Contributors consider the changing role of disability in visual culture, the place of representations in society, and the ways in which disability studies engages with and critiques intersectional notions of gender, race, ethnicity, class, and sexuality. This book will be particularly useful for scholars in art history, disability studies, visual culture, and museum studies.
I saggi contenuti in questo ebook analizzano sotto prospettive diverse alcune delle numerose rappresentazioni testuali e iconograche che hanno avuto come oggetto privilegiato il Vesuvio, con una particolare attenzione tributata alle opere realizzate a ridosso dell’eruzione sub-pliniana del 1631, che segnò la ripresa dell’attività eruttiva del vulcano dopo una lunghissima quiescenza. Il 1631 è, dunque, il segno di una discontinuità che irrompe nel tempo lento dell’uomo e lo accelera, nel senso braudeliano dell’espressione.
