What does a 'normal body' look like? This question cuts to the heart of any society's imagining of itself, especially when taken alongside its obverse, the ways in which physical deviance from these norms is constructed and imagined. While Russian disability history is a developing field, work on the late Imperial and rural contexts is still missing. This project will explore social constructions of the 'normal body' and disability in Russian rural space at the turn of the twentieth century, with possible foci including: physical disability, hearing or visual impairments, the ageing body, childbearing, and learning disabilities. The project's core research questions are as follows:- What were the principal conceptual frameworks in late Imperial Russia governing notions of the ideal body?- How did these frameworks shape everyday experience and treatment of those whose bodies were deemed imperfect?- Did late Imperial Russian notions of the body and 'biopolitical' practices relate to norms and actions in other states and societies at the time?- How can this study provide insights into the relations between normative discourses of the 'able' body and the lived experiences of those considered 'disabled', that might inform present-day public debates and policy?The thesis will use a mixed qualitative and quantitative methodology to mine a newly available source base: the Tenishev published collection (Dmitrii Aleksandrovich Baranov and A.V. Konovalov, eds., Russkie krest'iane . Zhizhn', byt, nravy. Materialy 'Etnograficheskago biuro' Knaiza V.N. Tenisheva. Tt. 1-14 [Sankt-Peterburg: Delovaya Poligrafiya, 2004-2009]). This fourteen-volume transcription of ethnographic materials was collected between 1896 and 1902 by hundreds of rural correspondents for thirteen provinces in northern and central Russia. These insights into rural bodies and everyday life will be complemented with other sources, including memoirs, letters, diaries and state records. Depending on the distribution and richness of primary source materials, regional case studies may also be utilized.

“正常的身体”是什么样子的？这个问题切中了任何社会对自身想象的核心，特别是当与其正面相结合时，即对这些规范的物理偏离是如何构建和想象的。虽然俄罗斯残疾史是一个发展中的领域，但关于帝国晚期和农村背景的工作仍然缺失。该项目将探讨世纪之交俄罗斯农村地区“正常身体”和残疾的社会结构，可能的重点包括：身体残疾、听力或视力障碍、身体老化、生育和学习障碍。该项目的核心研究问题如下：-什么是主要的概念框架，在俄罗斯帝国晚期管理的概念的理想机构？这些框架是如何塑造那些身体被认为不完美的人的日常经历和治疗的？俄罗斯帝国晚期的身体观念和“生物政治”实践与当时其他国家和社会的规范和行动有关吗？这项研究如何提供洞察力的规范话语的“能”的身体和那些被认为是“残疾”的生活经验之间的关系，这可能会告知当今的公共辩论和政策？本论文将使用定性和定量相结合的方法来挖掘一个新的可用资源库：Tenishev出版的收藏品（Dmitrii Aleksandrovich Baranov和A. V. Konovalov编辑，俄国国王去吧，拜特，去吧。Materialy 'Etnograficheskago biuro' Knaiza V.N. Tenisheva。TT. 1-14[圣科特-彼得堡：Delovaya Poligrafiya，2004-2009]）。这本14卷的民族志材料抄本是在1896年至1902年间由俄罗斯北方和中部13个省的数百名乡村通讯员收集的。这些对农村机构和日常生活的见解将与其他来源，包括回忆录，信件，日记和国家记录相补充。根据主要来源材料的分布和丰富程度，也可以利用区域案例研究。
