Abstract:The article examines the soundtracks of audiovisual commercials for antidepressants, investigating the musical practices of advertising for the pharmaceutical industry. After introducing the topic of direct-to-consumer medication advertising and its regulation in the United States through the concept of "fair balance," the article considers the role of music in direct-to-consumer (DTC) commercials. The concepts of congruence and incongruence between visual, narrational, and musical elements are presented, in application to the soundtracks of antidepressant commercials, with detailed multimodal discourse analyses of commercials for the prescription medications Zoloft, Cymbalta, and Latuda. Studying their audiovisual narratives and elements leads to the conclusion that music serves as a crucial yet hidden suasive component in corporate campaigns that strategically target people who experience mental distress. To the extent that the commercials present normative states of mind and lifestyles as ideals for people with depression, they can be understood as coercive and as a result, subjects for critical unpacking through Mad studies, particularly in relation to their role in perpetuating sanist narratives and a biomedical model of mental health.

Abstract:The article is an edited transcription of a three-way conversation, or trialogue, chronicling a collective participation in the emergence and growth of disability studies over the past thirty years. The authors divide their memories into specific sites or "rooms," both public and private, where they discover the power and pleasure of uniting to create change. They map a journey from uncertainty and isolation in the past to solidarity and support in the present which sustains them as colleagues and friends. Along the way they mark moments of institutional acceptance and collaborative innovations. They celebrate their particular form of interdependence, an expertise that comes from their singular and joint observations of their lives as disabled women and academics. They claim their place in a world that still wants to ignore or exclude them, in the hopes that this claiming will continue to make space for disability scholars and activists of the future.

Abstract:In the hybrid article, the authors reflect on the roots, located in their personal and professional lives, of their co-edited 2001 collection, Embodied Rhetorics: Disability in Language and Culture, the first book to bring together disability studies and writing and rhetoric studies. They describe raising their disabled, autistic son Sam and the lessons they have learned about living as a disabled family. They point readers to the subsequent work made by original contributors to Embodied Rhetorics and to important newer scholarship that has grown at the intersection of rhetoric and disability.

Abstract:The article examines the representation of disability in Khaled Hosseini’s A Thousand Splendid Suns and Leila Aboulela’s Lyrics Alley with a view to illustrating the intersections of disability and masculinity in the lives of the two young protagonists, Tariq and Nur. A careful examination of the representation of disabled experience in both Sudan and Afghanistan shows that vulnerability and sexual potency are the two most crucial elements that put masculinity to the test. While Hosseini masculinizes disability by allowing his protagonist to function entirely normally, he fails to offer a thorough realistic representation of the complications of disabled experience. Aboulela on the other hand narrates Nur’s story from his own point of view, which provides a more realistic representation of the complications of total disability for men in the global South. Overall, the article shows that both Hosseini and Aboulela provide empowering and positive representations of disability that might be seen as a metaphor for the possibility of postcolonial nations to rise up and show their true potential, regardless of the disabling aspects of politics, economy, race, and religion.

Abstract:Literary disability studies focuses on reading the representation of disability in literary and cultural texts. While there has been a plethora of Western scholarship around anglophone literature and readings of disability discourse, there remains little scholarship concerning Arab disability and narratives that examine disability. The silence around disability is staggering and part of the larger metanarrative of disability as taboo. The article examines the depictions of multiple sclerosis (MS) through different literary and cultural artifacts to arrive at a metanarrative of MS in Kuwait. The writers challenge and re-affirm the metanarrative of MS through their fictional depictions but also engage with real and lived experiences.

From March 2019 to November 2020 the Liverpool Hope University Centre for Culture & Disability Studies (CCDS) and the Carleton University Disability Research Group (CUDRG) co-hosted a cross-Atlantic seminar series, Disability Futurity: Interdisciplinary Anticipations of a Non-normative Tomorrow. Chaired by David Bolt in Liverpool and Ryan Patterson in Ottawa, speakers hosted at each institution were connected live to audiences at the other. That format had to change in light of Covid-19, which did have a positive side as the entirely online seminars were more accessible and reached an even broader audience than could ever have attended in person. Here, Patterson focuses on those seminars that were hosted at Carleton University or chaired digitally by the CUDRG.
