Abstract

Yet, there has been no research thoroughly examining how The Hunger Games film trilogy, in both obvious and subtle ways, expresses widely accepted ableist concepts of and perspectives on disability and people with disabilities. Given as much, I apply critical disability studies as the primary theoretical frame, will carefully explore and discuss how The Hunger Games films can be regarded as harmful and regressive for the human rights of those with disabilities in that they covertly and overtly support deterministic and essentialist views of disability as a marker of Otherness and fortify ableist ideology, which flourishes everywhere in society. Namely, I aim to unmask and thereby problematize the ideological power of ableism and able-bodied normativity lurking in The Hunger Games films. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
