Hunchback Quotes

“According to The History of the Body, edited by Corbin, Courtine, and Vigarello, the "criminalization of the gaze" that took hold around the dawn of the twentieth century had led to the decline of the freak show, which was subsequently replaced in popularity by the Monsters of Hollywood. Now, with costumes serving as an ethical cushion, people could enjoy ogling deformity without guilt or reserve.”

“Being able to see; being able to hold a book; being able to turn its page; being able to maintain a reading posture; being able to go to a bookshop to buy a book - I loathed the exclusionary machismo of book culture that demanded that its participants meet these five criteria of able-bodiedness. I loathed, too, the ignorant arrogance of all those self-professed book-lovers so oblivious to their privilege.”

“Aku benci buku kertas! Aku benci kejantanan budaya membaca yang menuntut seseorang memenuhi lima syarat kesehatan: mata yang bisa melihat, tangan yang dapat memegang, jari yang mahir membalik halaman, badan yang sanggup mempertahankan posisi membaca, dan kaki yang mampu melangkah bebas ke toko buku.”
