By focusing on dystopian texts, which the author argues act as sites for challenging or reinforcing dominant belief systems and ways of being, this study explores the potential of literature, film and television to act as a catalyst of change in the representation of disability. In addition, this work discusses the texts and technologies that continue to perpetuate questionable and often competing discourses on the subject. 410 0$aCritical Approaches to Children's Literature,$x2753-0833 606 $aChildren's literature 606 $aInterpretation, Literary 606 $aPeople with disabilities$xEducation 606 $aChildren's Literature 606 $aLiterary Interpretation 606 $aEducation and Disability 615 0$aChildren's literature. 615 0$aInterpretation, Literary. 615 0$aPeople with disabilities$xEducation. 615 14$aChildren's Literature. 615 24$aLiterary Interpretation. 615 24$aEducation and Disability. 676 $a809.89282 700 $aHoldsworth$b Dylan$01733087 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910842490503321 996 $aThe Government of Disability in Dystopian Children's Texts$94148129 997 $aUNINA
