Disability In Film And Literature by Nicole Markotic

A critical study of how disability is represented across cinematic and literary narratives, tracing the historical stereotypes and aesthetic strategies that shape public perceptions of impairment. It examines a range of films and texts to show how narrative form, filmic technique, and modes of spectatorship can both reinforce and challenge social norms, while attending to intersections with gender, race, and class. By treating disability as an analytic lens, the book rethinks questions of embodiment, ethics, and cultural value and argues for more nuanced, inclusive modes of representation.
