A description of the tools of communication that are used in the book Humans of New York

The contextualisation of ...

This paper lays out the ways in which the American Eugenics Movement was organized, and how ‘unfit human traits’ are produced through a eugenic lens. Looking at the use of language that produces categories of ‘unfitness’ will provide the groundwork for looking at how categories of ‘(un)fitness’ are constituted in society and how they’re still institutionalized today and thus continue to produce a concept of humanness that excludes and erases ‘the Other’. I will specifically loo...
