It also offers an intersectional understanding of modernism by studying the representation of physical and cognitive difference during a period marked by progressive reforms in health, labor, and welfare. Readings of texts by Henry James, Samuel Beckett, Virginia Woolf, William Carlos Williams, James Joyce, Djuna Barnes, Oscar Wilde, F.T. Marinetti, Jean Toomer, an opera by Alexander Zemlinsky, and paintings and constructions by dadaists and surrealists are set against the historical developments in sexology, medical discourse, and the pseudo-sciences of eugenics and anthropometry. 0Modernist works are well known for challenging formal features of narration and representation, but it is seldom observed that this challenge has often been enabled by figures of shell-shocked veterans, tubercular heroines, blind soothsayers, invalid aesthetes, and neurasthenic women. Such figures complicate an aesthetics of autonomy by which modernism is often understood. Since its evolution in the eighteenth century, aesthetics has been seen in terms of judgments based on detached0appreciation. What begins as a highly privative, sensate response to an object or natural formation results in a disinterested judgment about the value of that response. By looking at modernist aesthetics through a disability optic, Invalid Modernism attempts to restore the missing body to aesthetics by disclosing a structure of feeling around dramatic changes in modernity. These changes are registered on and through the bodies and minds of figures considered in medical discourse of the period as 'invalid' citizens and subjects. 650 0 $a People with disabilities and the arts. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85058686 650 0 $a Modernism (Literature) $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85086446 650 0 $a Disabilities $x History. 650 0 $a People with disabilities $x History. 650 0 $a People with disabilities in literature. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh94007843 650 0 $a Disabilities in literature. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2016000926 650 0 $a Aesthetics. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85001441 650 7 $a Aesthetics. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00798702 650 7 $a Disabilities. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00894633 650 7 $a Disabilities in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01940210 650 7 $a Modernism (Literature) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01024455 650 7 $a People with disabilities. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01057245 650 7 $a People with disabilities in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01057365 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191213014946.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=DFC81F92083E11EABF3FA51A97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
