Since previous representations of disability have been incomplete, misguided, and unimaginative, this text encourages scholars to refashion media so that it disrupts the status-quo and lends itself toward a more liberatory politics. Images from film, television, and social media are assessed using critical disabilities studies, media studies, cultural studies, and other interdisciplinary fields.
A mainstay of modern life, the global media gives out information about disabilities that is often inaccurate or negative and perpetuates oppressive stigmas and discrimination. In response to representations that have been incomplete, misguided or unimaginative, this collection of new essays encourages scholars and allies to refashion media so as to disrupt the status quo and move toward more liberatory politics. Images in film, television and social media are assessed through the lenses of disabilities studies, media studies, cultural studies and intersectional studies involving critical race theory and gender.
