Focusing on the portrayal of disabled and disfigured bodies, this volume explores their representation across contemporary art, art history, photography, and medical displays. It delves into the cultural significance and societal perceptions surrounding these bodies, drawing connections to the freak shows of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Through this analysis, the book highlights how art reflects and challenges attitudes toward disability and disfigurement in various contexts.
