Public Health, Visual Rhetoric, and Latin America: Steinbeck ’s The Forgotten Village
AbstractThis essay analyzes the visualization of Euro-American medicine and indigenous healing in John Steinbeck ’s 1941 documentary-dramaThe Forgotten Village. The movie juxtaposes film and medical discourse as exemplifications of modern, visual culture by showing excerpts from hygiene films and foregrounding medical imagery (e.g., bacteria cultures). The film displaces indigenous medicine by privileging a Euro-American medical model, and the gaze of oppression is perpetuated through humanitarian medical intervention. In short, disease is not simply a material fact but embedded in discourses about community identity, mo...

Moving Through a Textual Space Autistically
This article is an investigation of neurodivergent reading practices. It is a collectively written paper where the focus is as much on an autoethnographic exploration of our autistic readings of autism/autistic fiction as it is on the read texts themselves. The reading experiences described come primarily from Yoon Ha Lee ’sDragon Pearl (2019) and Dahlia Donovan ’sThe Grasmere Cottage Mystery (2018), which we experience as opposite each other in how they depict their neurodivergent characters and speak to us as autistic readers. Through the article, we describe a formation of neurodivergent (critical) collective readin...

Normality and Disability in H. G. Wells ’s “The Country of the Blind”
AbstractDescribing someone as disabled means evaluating their relationship with their environment, body, and self. Such descriptions pivot on the person ’s perceived limitations due to their atypical embodiment. However, impairments are not inherently pathological, nor are disabilities necessarily deviations from biological normality, a discrepancy often articulated in science fiction via the presentation of radically altered environments. In such settings, non-impaired individuals can be shown to be unsuited to the world they find themselves in. One prime example of this comes courtesy of H. G. Wells’s “The Country ...

Theater as a Site of Resistance in Haresh Sharma ’s Good People: Questioning Authorities and Contesting Truths in the Clinic
AbstractGood People, by Singaporean playwright Haresh Sharma, unmasks racial and religious tensions between Singapore ’s increasingly diverse racial groups and the attendant ramifications on the healthcare ecosystem and the doctor-patient relationship. Drawing upon Michel Foucault’s notion of heterotopia, this paper argues that, inGood People, Sharma employs theater as a site of resistance by calling into question state and medical authority. First, state authority is challenged through the play ’s scrutiny of the ideological principle of multiculturalism and its usefulness in fostering meaningful cross-cultural exch...
