By focusing on dystopian texts, which the author argues act as sites for challenging or reinforcing dominant belief systems and ways of being, this study explores the potential of literature, film and television to act as a catalyst of change in the representation of disability. In addition, this work discusses the texts and technologies that continue to perpetuate questionable and often competing discourses on the subject. 0aChildren's literature. 0aInterpretation, Literary. 0aPeople with disabilitiesxEducation.14aChildren's Literature.24aLiterary Interpretation.24aEducation and Disability.2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer Nature eBook08iPrinted edition:z978303152033408iPrinted edition:z978303152035808iPrinted edition:z9783031520365 0aCritical Approaches to Children's Literature,x2753-083340uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-52034-1
