Aprašymas
Combining media studies and archival research, this book critically examines historic and contemporary examples of media representations of queerness and disability - often intersecting - to establish and demonstrate a theory of "discriminatory convenience."
Although social oppression is typically framed in terms of prejudice, hate, and other forms of dislike, D. Travers Scott argues for another perspective - inconvenience - by drawing upon histories of industrialization, technology, and modernist ideals of efficiency. Scott analyzes and compares historical and contemporary discourses around health, media, technology, and social movements to present a combination of compelling case studies, bolstered by their autoethnographic accounts as a queer, formerly disabled activist-scholar.
