« Distressing Language: Disability and the Poetics of Error”, a book talk by Michael Davidson, Wednesday 12 October at 5:30 pm.
Both a critical and personal book informed by the author’s deafness and the mistakes of understanding that he experiences daily, Distressing Language: Disability and the Poetics of Error (New York University Press, 2022) considers what “sound” and “voice” mean in a world that presumes hearing. Premised on queer/crip ideas of temporality, Distressing Languagedeals with issues of sound, deafness and the representation of error in contemporary art and poetry, bringing disability studies, sound studies and poetics into conversation. Included in the talk will be discussions of the poet Larry Eigner and the deaf visual artist, Christine Sun Kim.
