Cultural Representation of Disabled People: Dustbins for Disavowal?

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

Impairment and imagery are neglected within the social model approaches to disability. This is connected to a neglect of representation. Comparing the experience of disabled people to that of women, I explore the prejudice underlying cultural representation, using a variety of theoretical models. I conclude by suggesting an explanation for popular prejudice against disabled people.
