项目摘要

The commercial success of the Paralympics, driven by Channel 4's socially progressive coverage, has led to a celebrity Paralympic media culture and new gendered/sexualised media representations of para-athletes. From Pinterest's 'Paralympian Babes' to the Daily Mirror's 'Sexiest Female Paralympians', Paralympic media is challenging the historical marginalisation of gender and sexuality in the representation of disability. Whilst such examples demonstrate important cultural and social change in disability representation, it raises pressing questions concerning gender equality in the context of disability media content, particularly as representations intersect with other forms of marginal identities such as race and ethnicity. No empirical research to date has explored Paralympic media coverage in relation to gender equality. This project seeks to address this, providing new knowledge on the gendered/sexualised representations of para-athletes in Paralympic print and online media with a focus on intersectionality, and the implications of this beyond the media on the experiences and negotiation of gendered and sexual identities in the lives of disabled people. This knowledge can be used to refine approaches to disability representation that are gender inclusive, empowering for disabled people, and contribute to greater social inclusion and gendered/sexual well-being. It aims to further contribute to ensuring Paralympic media coverage - as an important vehicle for the equality and empowerment of disabled people - continues to effect progressive social change. The project is formed of several integrated qualitative work packages to provide a robust joined-up evidence base. These include: (1) A comprehensive media analysis of the 2020 Tokyo Paralympic media content that will aim more fully explore the dominant gendered representations of para-athletes, and, (2) through the use of focus groups/interviews and interviews, to explore the multiple ways dominant gendered representations feed into the perceptions, interpretations, conversations and (re-)negotiation of gendered identities in the everyday lives of disabled people. A public art exhibition drawn from the findings of focus groups/interviews will elevate the multiple and diverse disabled voices in the project and illuminate the unheard and marginalised issue of gender, sexuality and disability through creative collaboration with disabled artists.The project builds on previous research in this area and established links with non-academic organisations for ongoing impact on policy and practice, engagement with civil society, and collaborations between academic and non-academic organisations. Importantly, it seeks to more fully and critically explore an emerging disability gender politics and aid the development of an empirical interdisciplinary knowledge base on gender, disability, culture, sport and media studies to address the issue of both gender and disability equality across the humanities.

残奥会的商业成功，由第4频道的社会进步报道推动，导致了名人残奥会媒体文化和残疾人运动员的新性别/性别化媒体代表。从Pinterest的“Paralympian Babes”到《每日镜报》的“最性感的女残疾人”，残奥会媒体正在挑战历史上性别和性在残疾代表中的边缘化。虽然这些例子表明残疾人代表性方面发生了重要的文化和社会变化，但它提出了在残疾人媒体内容背景下有关性别平等的紧迫问题，特别是因为代表性与种族和族裔等其他形式的边缘身份交织在一起。迄今为止，还没有实证研究探讨残奥会媒体报道与性别平等的关系。该项目旨在解决这一问题，提供关于残疾人运动员在残奥会印刷和在线媒体中的性别/性化表现的新知识，重点是交叉性，以及媒体之外的这种影响对残疾人生活中性别和性身份的体验和谈判。这一知识可用于改进残疾人代表性的方法，使其具有性别包容性，增强残疾人的权能，并有助于更大的社会包容和性别/性福祉。其目的是进一步促进确保残奥会媒体报道-作为残疾人平等和赋权的重要工具-继续影响逐步的社会变革。该项目由几个综合的定性工作包组成，以提供一个强有力的联合证据库。其中包括：（1）对2020年东京残奥会媒体内容进行全面的媒体分析，旨在更充分地探索残疾人运动员的主导性别表征，（2）通过使用焦点小组/访谈和访谈，探索主导性别表征融入感知、解释、残疾人日常生活中性别身份的对话和（重新）谈判。根据焦点小组/访谈的结果举办的公共艺术展将提升项目中多种多样的残疾人声音，并通过与残疾艺术家的创造性合作，阐明性别、性和残疾等未被倾听和边缘化的问题。该项目建立在这一领域以前的研究基础上，并与非学术组织建立联系，对政策和实践产生持续影响，与民间社会接触，以及学术和非学术组织之间的合作。重要的是，它旨在更充分和批判性地探讨新出现的残疾性别政治，并帮助发展一个关于性别，残疾，文化，体育和媒体研究的经验性跨学科知识库，以解决跨人文学科的性别和残疾平等问题。
