Disability in Film and Literature
Literary and filmic depictions of the disabled reinforce an "ableist" ideology that classifies bodies as normal or abnormal--positive or negative. This book examines language in film, fiction and other media that perpetuates the representation of the disabled as abnormal or problematic.
