Disabling diversity : the social construction of disability in 1990s Australian national cinema / Kate Ellis Saarbrucken, Germany: VDM, Verlag Dr Muller, 2008.
Call No: 747.77(94) ELLAuthor: Ellis, Kate Source: ATPlace: Saarbrucken, GermanyPublisher: VDM, Verlag Dr MullerPubDate: 2008PhysDes: 149 p. ; 23 cmSubject: PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES AND THE CINEMA ; PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES IN FILMS. AUSTRALIA ; AUSTRALIA. 1990's Summary: " Ellis offers a rich account of Australian cinema from the standpoint of critical disability studies, one of the few full-length accounts of disability and film internationally and a pioneering study that should be widely read. Gerard Goggin, coauthor of Disability in Australia Disabled characters in 1990s Australian national cinema are both invisible and hypervisible. Existing within the landscape of diversity as it emerged in repsonse to multiculturalism and minority group interests, they are most often used to rehabilitate a previously marginalised other. This book critically examines numerous 1990s Australian films with reference to socio-political influences to approach disability as a problem with society rather than as one within a damaged body. This book is directed towards researchers in Communications, Media Studies, and Film and Disabiltiy fields. This book is also addressed to those who have an interest in people who exist on the margins of society.

Disability and media has emerged as a dynamic and exciting area of contemporary culture and social life. Media–– especially digital technology––play a vital role in disability transformations, with widespread implications for global societies and how we understand communications. This book addresses this development, from representation and audience through technologies, innovations and challenges of the field. Through the varied and global perspectives of leading researchers, writers, and practitioners, including many authors with lived experience of disability, it covers a wide range of traditional, emergent and future media forms and formats.Notes: Includes bibliographical references and indexISBN: 9781138884588Contents: Introduction: Disability and media--an emergent field / Gerard Goggin, Katie Ellis, Beth Haller, and Rosemary Curtis -- Disability imaginaries in the news / Tanya Titchkosky -- What's it all worth?
