SUMMARY:Friday Forum for Graduate Research: Amanda Reyes
DESCRIPTION:Amanda Reyes \nDangerous Visibility: The Visual Epistemology of Eugenics \nIn the 1927 Buck v. Bell decision\, the Supreme Court upheld a Virginia statute allowing sterilization of people determined to have “hereditary” mental illnesses such as “idiocy\, imbecility\, feeble-mindedness or epilepsy.” Key testimony asserted that her infant child had “a look about [her] that is not quite normal” and descriptions of Carrie as “poor in looks” formed the basis of the argument that Carrie’s “feeble-mindedness” was hereditary. Thinking through the ways that representations of the Bucks were curated and challenged\, this paper argues that eugenic discourse operates through a visual economy. \n\n  \nFriday Forum Winter 2015 Schedule \nFridays\, 12:30 – 2:00pm\nHumanities 1\, Room 202 \nA weekly interdisciplinary colloquium series for sharing graduate research across the humanities.
