Jason B. Dorwart

Incorporeal Corpse

Performing Disability in the Liminal Stage

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Disabled characters have been written with an assumption that they would be played by nondisabled actors. In this book, Jason B. Dorwart argues that a recent influx of disabled actors into the profession is changing the way that we reconcile the reality of disability with the fictional framing of performance.
