OGR
I have to say I'm both a little disappointed in myself and feeling better than I did in the last project. Weird huh? Basically, for this first stage I have focused a lot on research, and fully developing my concept before properly diving into drawing it. This has given me a much clearer path than I found myself on in the Invisible Cities project, but has meant that I have ultimately produced fewer thumbnails than I would have liked. I felt like this additional research was necessary to ensure that I wasn't chasing my own tail for a number of days which is how Invisible cities felt at times. So, at this point, although I have less thumbnails right now (more will be uploaded tomorrow), I feel like I am in a much stronger position that I was after the OGR before.

Hi Nelly,
ReplyDeleteThis is some really comprehensive research. I’ve not got a lot to add but here are a few suggestions:
Books
Scapegoat : how we are failing disabled people - contains a cultural history of disability and ableism
Hideous progeny : disability, eugenics, and classic horror cinema (available from Epsom) has a horror focus but should be relevant in terms of cultural anxieties, freak shows etc.
Eugenics
You might want to look into eugenics which is the bogus science that influenced a lot of culture and politics towards disabled people in the 20th century, particularly the Nazis. There’s a good summary in this article: The eugenics movement and attitudes towards people with disabilities
Journals
There is some academic wiring on Game of Thrones and disability which you can find in our online journals search:
"game of thrones" disability
If you need anything else, you can reach me via aday7@uca.ac.uk or email gatewayrochester@uca.ac.uk to arrange a tutorial.
Thanks,
Andrew
