CULTURES OF REPRESENTATION - BENJAMIN FRASER

"Cultures of Representation: Disability in World Cinema Contexts is the first book to explore the cinematic portrayal of disability in films from a full range of locations across the globe. Contributors explore classic and recent films from Belgium, France, Germany, India, Iran, Italy, Japan, Korea, Mexico, Netherlands, Russia, Senegal, Spain, and even a pair of Anglophone films with global resonance. Anchored by David T. Mitchell and Sharon L. Snyder's co-authored essay on global disability film festivals, the volume's content spans the years since 1950, addressing socially disabling forces that are rendered visible in the representation of physical, developmental, cognitive and psychiatric disabilities. These essays emphasize well-known global figures, directors and industries--from Temple Grandin to Pedro Almodóvar, Akira Kurosawa and even Bollywood--but also shine a spotlight on films from less frequently studied cultural locations such as those portrayed in the Iranian and Korean New Waves. Whether covering postwar Italy, postcolonial Senegal or twenty-first-century Russia, the essays in this volume are accessible to scholars, undergraduates and general readers alike."--Page 4 of cover.
