Déjà, à l'époque, Alan Moore voyait venir le truc.
"I wanted to ... make [Rorschach] as like, 'this is what Batman would be in the real world'. But I have forgotten that actually to a lot of comic fans, 'smelling', 'not having a girlfriend', these are actually kind of heroic! So Rorschach became the most popular character in Watchmen. I made him to be a bad example. But I have people come up to me in the street and saying: 'I AM Rorschach. That is MY story'. And I'd be thinking: Yeah, great.

The Healthcare and Disability in the Ancient World unit is welcoming papers in the following categories for this year's #SBL Annual Meeting: tinyurl.com/29ene8n6
Three anatomical votive ears placed in three columns, each with a different colour (red, yellow, green), all on a pink background. The title reads “Healthcare and Disability in the Ancient World Call for Papers.” Session #1: An open session for papers in any ancient area. We are particularly interested in new papers that engage new methods in the study of disability and healthcare in the ancient world, e.g. queer/trans histories. Session #2: Joint session with the Archaeology of Religion in the Roman World unit on the material traces of disability and disenfranchisement, e.g., material religion, subjugation, exploitation, healthcare, agency, etc. Session #3: Joint session with the Pauline Theology unit engaging any aspect of Pauline Theology through disability studies (e.g., embodiment, stigma, shame, resurrection, divine punishment, autobiography).
