Thinking point: List five movies in which disability is portrayed. htm. Following Barnes (1993), to what extent do films portray disabled characters as ‘to be pitied’, ‘tragic’, ‘sinister’ or ‘super-human’? Cultural critique overturns disabling modes of cultural production (Barker, 2008). The work of Mitchell and Snyder, Davis and Garland-Thomson has been especially influential in exposing the myth of the ‘disabled/abnormal body’ – and its needed opposite ‘the able/normal body’. The cultural analyst turns her gaze on to ‘normal society’ and considers how it promulgates its own precarious position through demonising dis/abled bodies.
Burke (2009) and Bolt (2009) dismiss the (social scientific) view of cultural studies as ‘decorative discipline’, and point instead to a substantive corpus of literature around disability that deconstructs societal texts, critiques ideology and destabilises biological imperatives. Representations of disability and impairment are manufactured by charities, science and popular culture in ways that dis-locate disabled people (Snyder and Mitchell, 2006: 19). Key sites of analysis include novels, film, performance, art and drama.
Shakespeare is open to any theory that has utility. Oliver (1998) intervenes in an interesting way.
