I have translated an article (from English into Farsi or Persian) on media and disability that is released by Hashahri Research and Studies Center . Title of the article is: “The Role of the Media in Promoting Images of Disability- Disability as Metaphor: The Evil Crip”; and the author is “Marilyn Dahl” (University of British Columbia(.

Referring to a number of art pieces, the author claims that the disabled are represented in almost all of these works as “negative” and “abnormal” persons. She believes that media have potentiality to create a more realistic and positive character of the disabled as “normal” people.

The article is available here in English; and here in Farsi. In order to know more about Dr. Marilyn Dahl (the author) you may click on here.
