"An impressively theorized case for recharting the boundaries of scholarship on disability in the humanities, Fraser's book compellingly argues for questioning the productivity of an existing divide between bodily and cognitive (intellectual, developmental, and psychiatric) approaches. Along the way, he convincingly moves toward bridging a gap between narrative and visual methodologies in the disability studies field at large, while also making an important contribution to moving criticism of contemporary Anglophone and Hispanophone (here, by way of Spain) disability culture much more closely into conversation." --Matthew J. Marr, Department of Spanish, Italian, and Portuguese, Pennsylvania State University "Professor Fraser's Cognitive Disability Aesthetics is an innovative study that fills a gap in the field of Disability Studies. The theoretical proposals and the magnificent analysis of visual representations of cognitive disability bring attention to an important and neglected area of inquiry." --Encarnación Juárez-Almendros, Department of Romance Languages and Literatures, University of Notre Dame.
