0There are very few healthy representations of disability in our entertainment media, and particularly few of autism. In films and TV shows, autism has been stereotyped to a significant degree, which damages our social understanding of this neurological condition. Dr. Jessica Hatrick joins us in the lab to discuss the K-Drama ‘Extraordinary Attorney Woo’, and why this unusual Korean series offers a seminal representation of autism today. Jessica explains how the series is very important to autistic viewers, and why its central female character is groundbreaking in the portrayal of autism in Asia today.
Jessica is a strong believer in the need for social justice and argues that having an accurate and balanced representation in our media is a very important way to achieve this. Join Mary and Derek in the lab as they discuss Jessica’s publication “Extraordinary Attorney Woo is the autism representation we need: Gen-MZ's engagement with Korea's first autistic lawyer”published in the Volume ‘Mediating Sex, Gender, and Sexual Identity in the Gen Z Era’.
荧幕中的自闭症形象：被看见，还是被定义？
在影视娱乐作品中，残障群体的形象呈现正日益受到关注。影视作品在塑造自闭症角色时，既可能呈现出多样化的性格特征与能力，也可能倾向于采用某些较为固定的形象模式，而这些呈现方式会在很大程度上影响公众对自闭症的认知与理解。
本期Beyond the Books播客，我们邀请了来自国际传播系的Jessica Hatrick博士，她的一项研究聚焦2022年播出的一部韩国电视剧 《非常律师禹英禑》，批判性地分析剧中对自闭症谱系障碍的呈现方式，重点探讨其在塑造公众认知、增进对自闭症人士的理解与共情方面所发挥的作用。
