La representación mediática del deportista con discapacidad en el reportaje televisivo. Informe Semanal, un estudio de caso
The coverage of the 2008 Paralympic Games in the Spanish media appears almost exclusively linked to the values associated with the sporting world, according to a previous study. The Paralympic athletes are not disabled. Neither lay nor sensationalism gave a stereotyping. Because of the particularity of the event, also claims and problems disappear. This is where sports information matter the outcome, the successes, the medals. To deepen understanding of television representation of athletes with disabilities, is now being studied television information outside the dynamic daily news coverage of the Games. Analysis of other pieces, reports, has uncovered brands aimed at stereotyping related to the semantic field of journalism, one that is made visible through the use of resources that promote emotion and spectacle. Emergen life stories and intimate details. The players show great self-esteem and a positive self-identity to get away from the usual social representations of disability.

'Don't Talk about Me ... Like I'm Not Here': Disability in Australian National Cinema
Disability is a central cultural identity and category in Australia, but this is not often realized. We seek to make a contribution to conversations and critical analyses of disability in Australian culture through an exploration of a privileged national cultural form, namely film. The trope of disability looms large in late twentieth century Australian cinema, and yet cultural comment on these 'disabled' scripts and performances has not yet considered a disabilities studies perspective. Accordingly, in this article we combine our different perspectives on disability and film into an account of how specific films use disability. In particular, we analyse key films from the 1990s as examples of powerful displays of bodies and personhood.
