Drawing on a wide variety of print and digital media sources, this book discusses the need for inclusion and authentic portrayals of disability and neurodiversity in the media, as the primary way that most people learn about them.
Containing 15 newly written chapters drawing on representations of disability in popular culture from film, television, social media, and print media in both the Global North and the Global South, including the United States, Ukraine, Japan, India and Italy, this volume shows that although disability and neurodiversity have long been framed using a limited range of stereotypical tropes such as victims, supercrips, or suffering patients, and have functioned as what scholars refer to as narrative prosthesis, storylines and characters involving prominent disability themes and representations are making their way into an increasing number of mainstream media productions and publications. The question remains whether the increased quantity is correlated with increased quality of representation and inclusion for people with disabilities.
This insightful volume will be of interest to all scholars and students of disability studies, cultural studies, media and film studies, gender studies, and sociology more broadly.
