520 This dissertation examines the audiovisual representation
of physical disability in a group of films produced for
theatrical and television distribution. The films under
study are: Prelude to Happiness (USA, 1974), Passion Fish
(USA, 1992), The Sea Inside (Mar Adentro, Spain, 2004),
and The Brooke Ellison Story (USA, 2004/TV)
520 The study challenges the critique of media representations
of disability as predominantly carriers of stereotypes and
producers of harmful effects in the audience---a view
emanating from a number of media and disability studies
scholars---with a more personal, hermeneutic approach
based on the focus group methodology. It concludes with a
discussion of the strategies of interpretation used by
these viewers with disabilities to make sense of
disability centered films, in the context of a cultural
studies model of audience reception theory
