Being seen : one deafblind woman's fight to end ableism / Elsa Sjunneson. by Sjunneson, Elsa, 1985- Tiller Press, an imprint of Simon & Schuster, Inc., 2021. Call #: 362.41092 S625b Subjects Sjunneson, Elsa, 1985-   Deafblind women -- United States -- Biography.   Deafblind people -- United States -- Biography.   People with disabilities.   People with disabilities in mass media.   Discrimination against people with disabilities. ISBN:  9781982152376 (hc) Edition:  1st Tiller Press hardcover ed. Description:  xi, 273 p. ; 24 cm. Bibliography:  Includes bibliographical references. Summary:  "A Deafblind writer and professor explores how the misrepresentation of disability in books, movies, and TV harms both the disabled community and everyone else. As a Deafblind woman with partial vision in one eye and bilateral hearing aids, Elsa Sjunneson lives at the crossroads of blindness and sight, hearing and deafness -- much to the confusion of the world around her. While she cannot see well enough to operate without a guide dog or cane, she can see enough to know when someone is reacting to the visible signs of her blindness and can hear when they’re whispering behind her back. And she certainly knows how wrong our one-size-fits-all definitions of disability can be. As a media studies professor, she’s also seen the full range of blind and deaf portrayals on film, and here she deconstructs their impact, following common tropes through horror, romance, and everything in between. Part memoir, part cultural criticism, part history of the Deafblind experience, Being Seen explores how our cultural concept of disability is more myth than fact, and the damage it does to us all."--Publisher.
