Disability, Media, And Representations by Jacob Johanssen
This book examines how disability is portrayed across film, television, news, and digital media, tracing historical stereotypes and contemporary shifts in representation. It combines media analysis with disability studies to show how cultural narratives shape public attitudes, policy, and lived experience, while foregrounding the perspectives and agency of disabled people. The author critiques both exclusionary practices and simplistic ‘inspiration’ tropes, explores intersections with gender, race, and class, and outlines how activism and new media platforms are reshaping visibility and access.
