Blind Narrations and Artistic Subjectivities: Corporeal Refractions makes an important contribution to the field of blindness studies by highlighting the centrality of blindness in literary compositions. It presents a critical interpretation of selected prose writings by three blind authors: Argentine poet, short story writer, and essayist Jorge Luis Borges; Australian religious educator and diarist John M. Hull; and the American memoirist and poet Stephen Kuusisto.

The volume discusses themes like

• theorising the corporeality of writing
• aesthetic turn to the experience of blindness
• altered sensation and self-understanding
• lived experience of growing blind
• self-knowledge through interaction with the world
• artistic subjectivity, narrative choices, and the 'implied' author

This book will be useful for scholars and researchers of blindness studies, disability studies, arts and aesthetics, literature, cultural studies, and philosophy.
