OverviewThe Disabled Body in Contemporary Art is the first book to cross the disciplines of art history and disability studies. Millett-Gallant visually analyzes images of the body in visual culture - from painting, sculpture, photography, and performance art to medical displays to the nineteenth- and twentieth-century freak show - placing the work of disabled and non-disabled artists in critical dialogue. Pursuing the agenda of disability studies, this book examines western art history through a new lens and draws parallels to sexism, racism, classism, and heterosexism/homophobia.

Highly recommended. -- CHOICE <p> There is little if any systematic work on the intersection between art history and disability studies. When a theory is broached, it usually comes down to the accusation that art has participated in the history of discrimination against disabled people. Millett-Gallant is able to discuss troubling aspects concerning disability in the history of art, and yet she finds a way to describe how these same troubling aspects resist discrimination. Hers is a complex idea of aesthetic representation, and her analysis does not fail to respect this complexity but, rather, dwells in it by providing a dense articulation of works of art, their allusions, and meanings.

That enterprise is groundbreaking for both fields, in part because there exists no other study of this kind, but also because Millett-Gallant refuses to adapt an interpretive method that reinforces binaries, importantly pointing out that hierarchical divides such as disabled/nondisabled (when considering artists) and liberating/derogatory (when considering art) can effectively limit understanding the subversive potential of disability's presence in contemporary art.
