Although the cultural stations range from toys and comics to aggressive music and chaotic sitcoms all are considered with a focus on the language and tropes of disability. Indeed most of the works are not remembered as portrayals of disability but the book's analysis reveals flash if not fleeting representations that when centralised clarify patterns of duplicity. Via the language of power and the power of language all these texts are found to have contributed to the formative cultural identity politics of disability.
