The Journal of Literary and Cultural Disability Studies
The Journal of Literary Disability was founded by the editor Dr. David Bolt in 2006. It was launched at the Inaugural Conference of the Cultural Disability Studies Research Network, hosted by Liverpool John Moores University in 2007. In 2009 the publication moved to Liverpool University Press under the new name Journal of Literary & Cultural Disability Studies. It expanded to three issues per year and print as well as online formats. It was selected for the Project MUSE collection and found an institutional base in the Centre for Disability Research (CeDr), Lancaster University. It is now edited, on a permanent basis, in The Centre for Culture and Disability Studies at Liverpool Hope University.

Famous quotes containing the words journal, literary, cultural and/or studies:
“The Journal is not essentially a confession, a story about oneself. It is a Memorial. What does the writer have to remember? Himself, who he is when he is not writing, when he is living his daily life, when he alive and real, and not dying and without truth.”
—Maurice Blanchot (b. 1907)
“There are in me, in literary terms, two distinct characters: one who is taken with roaring, with lyricism, with soaring aloft, with all the sonorities of phrase and summits of thought; and the other who digs and scratches for truth all he can, who is as interested in the little facts as the big ones, who would like to make you feel materially the things he reproduces.”
—Gustave Flaubert (1821–1880)
“A society that has made “nostalgia” a marketable commodity on the cultural exchange quickly repudiates the suggestion that life in the past was in any important way better than life today.”
—Christopher Lasch (b. 1932)
“What happiness did poor Mother’s studies bring her? It is the melancholy tendency of such studies to separate people from their friends and neighbors and fellow creatures in whom alone lies one’s happiness.”
—Mary Potter Playne (c. 1850–?)
