Thanks to everyone who has suggested titles of Australian Films portraying
disability. I will post my final list to the group for all who are
interested.
But I have yet another question I'm hoping some of you can help me with. As
you've all probably figured out, I'm doing my phd on disability and film.
I'm using the social theory of disability to suggest other ways disability
can be represented in the movies. I keep reading about how nondisabled
academics wrote about disability from a medical perspective calling it an
individual pathology, however no one seems to be referencing these people.
I'm really interested in finding any writing on disability from a medical
perspective so that I can see what used to be said and how far we've come.
Sorry about my endless questions and calls for information/help.
Katie.
