Disability in Film and Literature
Nicole Markotic
Literary and filmic depictions of the disabled reinforce an “ableist” ideology that classifies bodies as normal or abnormal - positive or negative. Disabled characters are often represented as aberrant or evil and are isolated or incarcerated. This book examines language in film and fiction that perpetuates the representation of the disabled as abnormal or problematic.
