Section 1, Chapter 6 by Anna Arabindon-Kesson: Caribbean Absences in African American Art.
This is the first book of its kind to feature interdisciplinary art history and disability studies scholarship. Art historians have traditionally written about images of figures with impairments and artworks by disabled artists, without integrating disability studies scholarship, while many disability studies scholars discuss works of art, but do not necessarily incorporate art historical research and methodology. The chapters in this volume emphasize a shift away from the medical model of disability that is often scrutinized in art history by considering the social model and representations of disabled figures from a range of styles and periods, mostly from the twentieth century. Topics addressed include visible versus invisible impairments; scientific, anthropological, and vernacular images of disability; and the theories and implications of looking/staring versus gazing. They also explore ways in which art responds to, envisions, and at times stereotypes and pathologizes disability. The insights offered in this book contextualize understanding of disability historically, as well as in terms of medicine, literature, and visual culture.

This work represents the first systematic study of the risks borne by those who produced, commissioned, and purchased art across Renaissance Europe. It employs a new methodology, built around concepts from risk analysis and decision theory.
Celebrating the artist's long and varied career, this exhibition features a selection of new wall pieces, studies from major public commissions, and examples of over 40 years of art-making. A distinguished member of the ceramics and studio art faculty in the College of Visual and Performing Arts at Syracuse University since 1974, Hughto's clay based installation work, collaborative projects and unique sculptural approach to the medium have established her as a vanguard of contemporary ceramic art.
Primary sources allow researchers to get as close as possible to original ideas, events and empirical studies as possible. Such sources may include expositions of creative ideas, first hand or contemporary accounts of events, publication of the results of empirical observations or studies, and other items that may form the basis of further research.
Examples include: Novels, plays, poems, works of art, popular culture diaries, narratives, autobiographies, memoirs, speeches Government documents, patents Data sets, technical reports, experimental research results
Secondary sources analyze, review or restate information in primary resources or other secondary resources. Even sources presenting facts or descriptions about events are secondary unless they are based on direct participation or observation. Moreover, secondary sources often rely on other secondary sources and standard disciplinary methods to reach results, and they provide the principle sources of analysis about primary sources.
Examples include: Biographies Review articles and literature reviews Scholarly articles that don't present new experimental research results Historical studies
Tertiary resources provide overviews of topics by synthesizing information gathered from other resources. Tertiary resources often provide data in a convenient form or provide information with context by which to interpret it.
Examples include: Encyclopedias Chronologies Almanacs Textbooks
