The "handi-capacités. Penser et représenter le handicap aujourd'hui" offers an introduction to disability studies for students, young researchers and young artists based in France or Germany. Participants will be able to familiarize themselves with some of the founding texts of Disability Studies through collective and critical reading workshops, and discover how these issues cross contemporary artistic production through the example of Franco-German performances hosted on the Sorbonne Nouvelle campus during the autumn school.
We'll be looking at disability as a life experience, a category of thought and a creative potential, and considering the possible contribution of disability studies to a more general reflection on diversity, be it in terms of gender or sexual identity, language and culture, or ability and sensibility. Concrete examples of inclusion in universities and museums will be presented and discussed, thanks to the support of the FOCUS Festival and a warm welcome from Paris Musées.
