Sport of the Disabled in Transmission and Media Discourse in Poland
Journal Title: PRZEGLĄD SOCJOLOGII JAKOŚCIOWEJ - Year 2015, Vol 11, Issue 2
Abstract
The purpose of this article is to analyze media discourse concerning disabled people in sport. On the one hand, I will focus on how disabled athletes and paralympic sport function in both national and local Polish media, and I will try to investigate the causes and effects of particular media transmissions, on the other. Therefore, it is an attempt to define in what ways Polish media influence how other (especially healthy) members of our society see the sport of the disabled. I will take a closer look both at an overall characteristics of the discourse which surrounds the question of the sport of the disabled, but I also will refer to the opinions of disabled athletes and other members of the sport society. This will help to demonstrate their view on the current “media situation” and on how it influences their everyday life. It is an attempt to confront the media image of disabled athletes with their opinions and feelings as athletes.
