  Goggin 2009 [Goggin, G., Disability, Media, and the Politics of Vulnerability, Asia Pacific Media Educator, 19, 2009, 1-13. JP Miller]
  This Ablenationalist framework projects vulnerability as coming from outside the self—Vacillating between humanitarian assistance and imperial wars of extermination.

  Kim cautions us that
  , attention should be paid to self-representations of everyday experiences and struggles of disabled women and men in the contexts of their relationships with other minorities beyond being a symbol of the quality of their society. A transnational approach to the human rights of people with disabilities should resist static and timeless generalizations about nation states solely based on their policy implementations; instead make connections among diverse, imaginative, conflicting, and ambiguous self-representations of disabled people around the world*

  a long tradition of regarding the masses as vulnerable to being influenced, or duped, that is now well contested (Blackman and Walkerdine 2001; Gauntlett 2005). I would agree with this argument, and add also that while this tendency has been heavily contested in media theory, it still appears to hold sway when it comes to particular groups. What emerges from their analysis is a glimpse of how two problematic, yet still highly influential, models interact: the medical model of disability and the effects model of media, and its reception. Hence my concern that people with disability are still assumed to come under the mantle of the ‘vulnerable’; when, as Holland et al. convincingly show, the vulnerable have agencies, voices, perspective, and some power also — but too often this is systematically ignored.*
