Description
The Silvering Screen maps the intersections of disability, age, film, and cultural studies and, in the process, transforms each of these interdisciplinary fields. Through close readings of popular films, Sally Chivers convincingly showcases how disability and old age are linked in our collective imagination and overviews the multiple, contested ways filmmakers have responded to that linkage. This is an important and exciting book.
