“…Within disability studies, valuable scholarship has been conducted on the phenomenon of the gaze and its role in casting disabled people as the other in various settings, from freak shows to medical theaters and public spaces (Bogdan, 1988;Chemers, 2008;Garland-Thomson, 2009;Hevey, 2006). Disability studies scholars point out that this gaze categorizes and assigns meanings to the disabled body, transforming disabled people into spectacles by choreographing the distance between disabled and non-disabled people.…”

Resisting the Disability Gaze in Amy Webb’s Picturebook Awesomely Emma

Recently, the (mis)representation of disability and disabled people has become a key topic of conversation within disability studies. These misrepresentations result from the disability gaze—depicting disability and disabled people in literature and popular culture from the perspective of non-disabled people that often cast disabled people in myriad stereotypical representations. Therefore, this study aims to investigate how the disability gaze is negotiated in Awesomely Emma (2020), a children’s picturebook by Amy Webb, illustrated by Merrilee Liddiard. Drawing on disability studies and visual analysis scholarship, this study highlights how the disability gaze is resisted and destabilized in this picturebook by using staring back—a strategy of resistance developed by disabled people that involves looking back at non-disabled people to demand recognition and resist silencing and marginalization. The study demonstrates how Awesomely Emma employs the process of staring back at the visual and verbal levels as a tool for resistance and activism against the rhetoric of disability discrimination and stigmatization, thereby significantly contributing to disability counternarratives. The significance of this study lies in its manifestation of the role the process of staring back can play in transfiguring entrenched, negative ways of disability representation to propose alternative means of understanding and reimagining disability.

“…The type of message communicated between the starer and staree entails stigmatization and discrimination. In other words, this stare becomes an othering stare; it becomes the stare that creates the normal, nondisabled/abnormal, disabled dichotomy (Chemers, 2008).…”

“…Esses circos viajavam pelas cidades explorando a curiosidade pelas deformidades, anomalias genéticas e as diferenças humanas com propósitos econômicos, sob a justificativa do oferecimento de uma profissão e de cuidados às pessoas com deficiências abandonadas pelos familiares, uma vez que a cultura do abandono estava presente nas famílias e favorecia esse tipo de exploração. Os circos cuidavam dessas pessoas, em alguns casos desde a infância, explorando-as durante toda a sua existência (BOGDAN, 1990;CHEMERS, 2008;MALTA, 2010).…”

“…This is not to say that the ethical troll should go to extremes to trouble one's sense of right or wrong, however. The dramaturg Michael Chemers (2008) knows something about extremes, and he has examined the kinds of forces that extraordinary theatrical devices can unleash on an audience. During his Art of Change interview, Chemers uses the example of immersive theater, wherein the audience participates within the performance itself, to assert the main responsibility of an ethical troll.…”

Dialogic Intentions: Social Practice and Moral Character in Contemporary Arts and Education

The decades-long surge of artistic interest in social practice finds a potential confluence in the recent rise of moral character as an object of psychological study, with both ideas filtering downstream into contemporary arts education philosophy and practices. Although much has been written about the social turn in the arts and the cultivation of character in education, few investigators have analyzed the relationship between them. This conceptual essay contributes to a possible convergence by examining the tensions and opportunities inherent in the integration of experimental art-making with the traditions of social science and moral theory. Its purpose is to take a personality-based approach to socially engaged art-making: to understand why some artists engage in social practice and the implications for arts education. This inquiry draws from a series of public interviews that examine the works and values, thoughts and feelings, practices and perspectives of contemporary artists working in higher education.
