While recognizing existing scholarship, this anthology seeks to fill a crucial gap by presenting comprehensive, India-centred analyses of disability representations across diverse media. Through a rich tapestry of perspectives, the book challenges the notion of disability as a universal and static category, instead examining individual diversities and nuanced intersections with race, gender, sexuality, and class to reveal multifaceted experiences.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFrom canonical literature to contemporary visual art, the chapters trace the evolution of disability representations, confronting stereotypes while spotlighting narratives of agency and resilience. By probing the ways literature and art engage with the cultural constructs of disability, this volume exposes societal attitudes and advocates for a more inclusive interpretive approach of literary and visual works. The anthology also stands out for its diverse exploration of critical disability studies, encompassing both Western and Indian viewpoints, visual storytelling, and life narratives. Art has the capacity to dismantle biases, foster empathy, and advance a more equitable world. This work offers a powerful call for such change, challenging readers to reimagine how we view and understand disability.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oxford UP","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46267055636631,"sku":"9789367259139","price":252.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9789367259139.webp?v=1769301373","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/foregrounding-disability-studies-in-literature-and-visual-arts-9789367259139","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
