Abstract
This article was to shift from the objectification of disability as metaphors and stereotypes prevalent in literature and film towards the corporealization disability as human subjectivity. Thus, using a disability studies perspective, Kim Ji-Young, Born 1982 and <Kim Ji-Young, born 1982> were analyzed in three ways. First, both novel and film used disabilities for rhetorical purposes, in spite of subtle differences. Second, depending on the genres(reportage and melodrama) that each text takes, the present existence and reality of disabled women were represented differently. Third, not only the subjectivity of disabled women but the possibility of empathy and solidarity among varies groups relied on the ways in which each text takes in terms of genre techniques and disability metaphor uses and deployments. Lastly, the implications of disability representations and discourses were discussed.
