Research
Bodies considered disabled or deformed may elicit strong affective responses: they may shock us, disgust us, evoke sympathy or make us laugh for example. In my NWO-funded research, I examine literature and art in which affective responses to these deviant bodies are represented, focusing on what the artwork does, how it works, and is constructed to elicit such responses. Concurrently, through this emphasis on emotional and affective responses provoked by disabled bodies, I explore how art may manipulate such responses.
