SUMMARY:Disability and the Archive: Teresa Deevy in Context
DESCRIPTION:Dramatists\, scholars\, and disability activists have started 
 taking an interest in a deaf Irishwoman who was once conside
 red the premiere national playwright of her day: Teresa Deev
 y. Interest in her life and works has taken different shapes
 \, from those drawn to her representations of women living ci
 rcumscribed lives in 1930s Ireland to those who want to reco
 ver a neglected history of deaf artistry. In a series of pan
 els\, we ask what it means to look in the archives for a writ
 er as elusive as Deevy. Where do we find information about D
 eevy and her work\, and how is this quest inflected by the ne
 eds of the present moment? This symposium will include discu
 ssions between archivists\, scholars\, theatre historians\, dis
 ability activists\, performance artists\, and directors to exa
 mine the various ways of finding Deevy in a historical recor
 d that has too often blotted her out.
