Download or read book The Image of Disability written by JL Schatz and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2018-08-03 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.
