{"title":"Seeing and Surveilling Disability: Ethics and Modes of Looking in R.L. Stevenson's Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde","authors":"Olivia Abram","doi":"10.1353/vcr.2022.a900629","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1353/vcr.2022.a900629","url":null,"abstract":"Abstract:According to Anne McGuire, \"disability marks the body in ambiguous ways—it appears and disappears, is noticed and is hidden.\" Applying a critical disability lens to literary analysis requires asking questions about how and why we—as readers but also the presumably normate \"we\" whom narrators often metonymically implicate—notice and hide disability in literature. This paper argues that Robert Louis Stevenson's Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1886) encourages a reconsideration of looking practices, specifically how we look at (and view) disability. Unlike conventional (often ableist) texts that encourage (especially nondisabled) readers to look at disabled characters, Strange Case forces readers to see through the eyes of disabled characters. Stevenson's novella demonstrates how changing the way nondisabled readers see the disabled subject is foundational to mutual understanding. I categorize modes of looking demonstrated in the text using Rosemarie Garland-Thomson's distinction between the gaze, \"an oppressive act of disciplinary looking that subordinates,\" and the stare, \"an intense visual exchange that makes meaning\" (9). By doing so, I provide a productive new reading of disabled-nondisabled relations in Stevenson's Strange Case. This paper promotes a more ethical approach to reading texts with disabled characters, acknowledging the power of both the writer and reader in controlling the construction of the disabled subject. I conclude that what is important for the development of ethical reading approaches is an attention to interpreting what we do \"see\"—that is, which mode(s) of looking we adopt.","PeriodicalId":40377,"journal":{"name":"Victorian Review-An Interdisciplinary Journal of Victorian Studies","volume":"48 1","pages":"309 - 326"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"66511326","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In these texts, the dead child emerges as the ideal child: passive, forever innocent, and forever possessable. In contrast to earlier morality tales that focus on the death of children, these stories are not presented as warnings to other children but as something that adult readers, authors, and parents can take pleasure in, as the dead child is frozen permanently in its ideal form, unable to grow up or change. This eternal infancy is imagined to extend to the afterlife, with many comfort book authors expecting to meet embodied versions of their children in heaven, preserved forever at the age at which they died. These texts worked to bolster the always uneasily situated \"cult of the child\" that emerged in the Victorian era. This rising figuration of childhood as a time of innocence, powerlessness, and unproductivity was challenged by the prevalence of real children who not only grew, changed, and desired but were incredibly productive and appeared to exercise (often limited) agency in their own lives and careers. Made into objects rather than people, dead children fulfill the need for a stable, unchanging model of childhood in ways that living children cannot. The dead child becomes a real-world version of Peter Pan, the boy (or girl) who never grows up and who therefore embodies perfect childhood.","PeriodicalId":40377,"journal":{"name":"Victorian Review-An Interdisciplinary Journal of Victorian Studies","volume":"48 1","pages":"293 - 308"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41469585","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
