Appel à Contributions – Special Issue on Disability Memory
Call for papers | Special Issue on Disability Memory<www.eui.eu/Documents/DepartmentsCentres/HEC/Disability-Memory-Special-Issue.pdf>
The aim of this Special Issue is to begin writing the memory of disability into mainstream European history. In recent years, academic scholarship has experienced a ‘memory boom,’ but the subject of disability has yet to be integrated into this development. Historians of sexuality have sought to ‘queer’ the field of memory studies by challenging and re-evaluating traditional, often heteronormative narratives of the past through the lens of marginalised communities. This special issue seeks to ‘disable’ existing European narratives by uncovering and integrating memories around disability and disabled citizens into European history beyond Anglophone hegemonic contexts.
We invite contributions that challenge established narratives by foregrounding the experiences, memories, and perspectives of disabled people and integrating them into broader accounts of Europe’s past. Please submit a title and abstract (maximum 500 words), along with a short biographical note (maximum 100 words), to Monika.Baar@eui.eu<mailto:Monika.Baar@eui.eu>, Chiara.Lacroix@eui.eu<mailto:Chiara.Lacroix@eui.eu>, and Timo.Houtekamer@eui.eu<mailto:Timo.Houtekamer@eui.eu>.
Deadline: 31 August
