Subject: [Arthumfac-alt] Global Comics Lecture Series: José Alaniz lecture on Disability in Post-Soviet Russian Comics 1/30

Elephants and DJs: Disability in Post-Soviet Russian Comics
Dr. José Alaniz, Slavic and East European Global Comics Scholar

Thursday, January 30 4 - 5:30 p.m.
Thompson Library, Room 165
1858 Neil Ave., Columbus, OH 43210


Dr. José Alaniz, professor at the University of Washington, will present a brief overview of the situation for people with
disabilities in Russia after the 1991 collapse of communism as depicted by non-disabled and disabled comics artists, with
an emphasis on the Putin era. How do these artists represent the disabled body as site of contention and human dignity?
How do their visions coincide with and complicate the rhetoric of disability rights movements in Russia? How do the
visual-verbal strategies of comic art uniquely communicate the experiences of lives too often lived in the shadows; lives
of frequent hospitalizations, chronic illnesses, bodily pain and social exclusion?
