残奥会的声誉和宣传活动在很大程度上围绕着它赋予残疾人权力的作用。这一声誉是通过关于这场运动之前的事情、它是如何开始的、它是如何发展的以及这一进步为谁服务的故事来巩固和复制的。在这篇文章中，我批判性地审视了关于残奥会过去的更隐晦的话语，这些话语支撑着当代关于残奥会赋权的明确话语。我首先分析了我自己成为一名残奥会运动员的故事的话语效果。然后，我转向对残奥会运动的两部历史的分析：斯泰德沃德和彼得森的残奥会：英雄来的地方，贝利的运动员优先：残奥会运动史。我认为这些历史代表了残奥会的被动，它们边缘化了残奥会运动员的故事，削弱了他们的抵抗力，再现了残疾的悲剧。
The reputation and publicity campaigns of the Paralympic Movement revolve largely around its role of empowering those with disabilities. This reputation is secured and reproduced by stories about what predated the Movement, how it began, how it progressed and whom this progress has served. In this paper I look critically at the more implicit discourses about Paralympic pasts that sustain the explicit contemporary discourse of Paralympic empowerment. I begin by analyzing the discursive effects of my own stories about becoming a Paralympian. I then turn my analysis to two histories of the Paralympic Movement: Steadward and Peterson’s Paralympics: Where heroes come and Bailey’s Athlete first: A history of the Paralympic Movement.I argue that these histories represent Paralympians as passive and that they marginalize Paralympians’ stories, undermine their resistances and reproduce the tragedy of disability.
