• Sommario/riassunto: This volume focuses on disability in German literature, film and theatre. It examines cultural representations of disability that raise questions about 'the humane gaze' and posits disability as historically central to discussions of humanity, modernity, and social and moral behaviour in German-language literature, film and theatre.
