Drawing on a wide range of case studies addressing how people can be othered' in contemporary media, the chapters focus on analyses of hateful discourses about disability on Reddit, news coverage of disability and education, media access of individuals with disabilities, the logic of memes and brain tumour on Twitter, celebrity and Down Syndrome on Instagram, disability in TV drama, the metaphor of disability for the nation; as well as an autoethnography of treatment of breast cancer. Providing a much-needed global perspective, Disability, Media, and Representations examines the relationship between self-representation and representations in either reinforcing or debunking myths around disability, and ways in which academic discourse can be differently articulated to study the relationship between media and disability. This book will be of interest to students and researchers of disability studies and media studies as well as activists and readers engaged in debates on diversity, inclusivity and the media. 606 $aPeople with disabilities in mass media 615 0$aPeople with disabilities in mass media. 676 $a302.23087 702 $aJohanssen$b Jacob 702 $aGarrisi$b Diana 801 0$bOCoLC-P 801 1$bOCoLC-P 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910799932703321 996 $aDisability, media, and representations$93873576 997 $aUNINA
