Cultures of Representation is the first book to explore the
cinematic portrayal of disability in films from across the globe.
Contributors explore classic and recent works from Belgium, France,
Germany, India, Italy, Iran, Japan, Korea, Mexico, Netherlands,
Russia, Senegal, and Spain, along with a pair of globally resonant
Anglophone films. Anchored by David T. Mitchell and Sharon L.
Snyder's coauthored essay on global disability-film festivals, the
volume's content spans from 1950 to today, addressing socially
disabling forces rendered visible in the representation of
physical, developmental, cognitive, and psychiatric disabilities.
Essays emphasize well-known global figures, directors, and
industries - from Temple Grandin to Pedro Almodovar, from Akira
Kurosawa to Bollywood - while also shining a light 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 will appeal to scholars, undergraduates, and
general readers alike.
