This project is situated in the interrelated academic fields of Disability Studies and History, Disability Culture and Disability Art. The Principal Investigators (PI's) are Professor Dr McKeown (UK) and Professor Dr Musenberg (DE). Musenberg's research is situated at the intersection of History of the Discipline of Special Education, Cultural Disability Studies and inclusiveness in Historical Education. McKeown's research is situated in the fields of Art and Design, Disability Art and Disability History and Heritage. Disability Studies (and in the UK Disability Art) emerged from the emancipatory Disabled People's Movements of the 1970's and 1980's and was established in academia in the context of the social sciences. Cultural perspectives brought additional points of contact with e.g. Literary studies, Cultural History and Disability Culture and the Arts. For the purposes of this project we have aggregated and described our interests as reflected by Cultural Disability Studies. The project will view, analyse and disseminate a seminal body of disability and impairment related artworks collected and curated by the German disability pedagogue Hans Würtz (1875-1958) between 1910-1933 - a critical period in European history that saw the rise of National Socialism and its extreme attendant ableist and disableist thought and action. Würtz innovatively moved away from the prevailing medical perspective on impairments to a more cultural perspective that materialised in his outstanding collection both in regard to its size and content. The Collection, paradoxically, survived because the National Socialist authorities saw no value in it and allowed Würtz to remove the Collection to his place of exile in Czechoslovakia. Therefore the Collection survived in two Prague based archives. The largely unmapped collection comprises 180 pottery, ivory and wood statuettes; 3500 images in the form of drawings, cartoons, lithographs, engravings, reproductions from magazines and photographs; 20 paintings; Glass plate negatives which document elements of the collection. One of the main research question is, how impairment and disability is represented (and staged) in the Collection; across the whole assemblage and through the closer investigation of a selection of key items? Following this question our key objectives are - to make the Collection accessible for our research (capture the Collection in a digital form) and to view and organise the Collection in regard to its themes and topics, - to analyse a sample of images and sculptures regarding the staging and production of disability within the artworks - to combine art historical contextualisation and iconology of the Collection with an reconstructive, qualitative approach of image interpretation (documentary method) - to contribute to Cultural Disability Studies knowledge by reflecting on the historic culturally 'fabrication' of the body and to contribute to the development of museology in relation to Disability Arts in the UK and in Germany. The project's outcome will be two scientific colloquia and two exhibitions in Berlin and Middlesbrough featuring key signature images including 2D artworks and 3D virtual statuettes in Berlin and Middlesbrough, a transdisciplinary anthology and research papers submitted by the two project PostDocs.

该项目位于残疾研究和历史，残疾文化和残疾艺术的相互关联的学术领域。主要研究人员（PI）是McKeown教授（英国）和Musenberg教授博士（DE）。穆森伯格的研究位于特殊教育，文化残疾研究和历史教育的包容性学科的历史的交叉点。麦基翁的研究是位于艺术与设计，残疾艺术和残疾历史和遗产领域。残疾研究（和英国残疾艺术）出现于20世纪70年代和80年代的解放残疾人运动，并在社会科学的背景下在学术界建立。文化视角带来了额外的接触点，如文学研究，文化史和残疾文化和艺术。为了这个项目的目的，我们已经汇总和描述了我们的利益，反映了文化残疾研究。该项目将查看，分析和传播由德国残疾人学者Hans Würtz（1875-1958）在1910-1933年间收集和策划的残疾和损伤相关艺术品的开创性机构-这是欧洲历史上的一个关键时期，见证了国家社会主义及其极端伴随的健全人和残疾人思想和行动的兴起。Würtz创新地从流行的医学角度对损伤进行了更多的文化视角，这在他的杰出收藏中体现在其规模和内容方面。矛盾的是，这些收藏品之所以能保存下来，是因为国家社会主义当局认为它毫无价值，并允许乌尔茨将这些收藏品转移到他在捷克斯洛伐克的流放地。因此，收藏品在两个布拉格的档案馆中幸存下来。大部分未绘制地图的收藏品包括180件陶器，象牙和木制小雕像; 3500幅绘画，漫画，石版画，雕刻，杂志和照片复制品形式的图像; 20幅绘画;记录收藏元素的玻璃板底片。一个主要的研究问题是，如何损伤和残疾是代表（和阶段）的集合;在整个组合，并通过更密切的调查选择的关键项目？在这个问题之后，我们的主要目标是-使收藏品能够用于我们的研究（以数字形式捕捉藏品），并根据其主题和主题查看和组织藏品，-分析艺术品中有关残疾分期和生产的图像和雕塑样本-将联合收割机艺术历史背景和藏品的图像学与重建，图像解释的定性方法（文献方法）-通过反思身体的历史文化“制造”，为文化残疾研究知识做出贡献，并为英国和德国与残疾艺术相关的博物馆学的发展做出贡献。该项目的成果将是在柏林和米德尔斯堡举行的两次科学座谈会和两次展览，其中包括柏林和米德尔斯堡的2D艺术品和3D虚拟雕像，跨学科选集和两个项目博士后提交的研究论文。
