Why We Can't Know/Understand the Other


- The problem of photography itself - flat, treats the surface (Basis by which ppl with disabilities are judged in the 1st place)

- Inside/Outside - Abigail Solomon Godeau, p. 197 - We'll never be on the inside of GENETIC disability

Artist as Ethnographer, Linda Alcoff - whole article!

Disability in Western Culture, p. 89 - ppl. With disabilities are limited in their own writeen expression "we so rarely have the power to insist on the validity of our existence." - it's often a mediated experience

Camera Lucida, Roland Barthes, p. 99 - it's just the photo - not the person - we can't know through a mediated source
- p. 106 - it is an arrested moment, the photo cannot be penetrated

Emphatic Vision, Jill Benett, p. 21 - We have to understand, but cannot step out side our selves, outside our own experiences.
