Depictions and portrayals of persons who live with disability in motion pictures have changed over time, sometimes reflecting, at other times influencing, societal attitudes and beliefs.

The disabled experience, defined only in relation to a perceived lack of human potentiality, becomes significant as a distorted mirror image of what...

Throughout his 40-year career, Michael Jackson intrigued and captivated public imagination through musical ingenuity, sexual and racial spectacle, savvy publicity stunts, odd behaviours, and a seemingly apolitical (yet always political) offering of popular art.

Die Arbeit schlägt deshalb einen narrativ-diskursanalytischen Ansatz vor, der zu verstehen verhilft, wie politische Akteur:innen Ungleichheit deuten, die...

Amidst the cacophony of claims made about forgiveness, this book serves to aid in an effort to put "forgiveness in perspective." Marieke Smit and Christopher R.
