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.

“正常身体”是什么样的？这个问题削弱了任何社会对自己的想象的核心，尤其是当与正面同行时，构建和想象的物理偏差的方式。尽管俄罗斯残疾历史是一个发展中的领域，但仍缺少在帝国和乡村晚期的工作。该项目将在20世纪初探索俄罗斯农村空间中“正常身体”和残疾的社会建构，其中可能的焦点包括：身体残疾，听力或视觉障碍，衰老的身体，衰老，生育和学习障碍。该项目的核心研究问题如下： - 俄罗斯晚期的主要概念框架是什么理想身体概念的主要概念框架？在被认为是“残疾”的人的“能力”机构和生活经历中，可能会为当今的公开辩论和政策提供依据？该论文将使用一种混合的定性和定量方法来挖掘新的可用来源基础：Tenishev发表的收藏（Dmitrii Aleksandrovich Baranov和A.V.
