This book provides an accessible introduction to critical disability studies, which helps students question existing notions of disability and interrogate how these have become embedded in our social and cultural understanding of disability.This interdisciplinary text, authored by a team of leading critical disability scholars, defines and explains the core foundational concepts and models referred to in disability studies literature: the medical model, the tragedy model of disability, the social model, the cultural model, the human rights model, the affirmation model and critical disability studies. These seven particular models have been selected due to the centrality of their influence on people with disability, wider society and culture and the academic study of disability. These models provide students with new ways of understanding how disability interfaces with society and offer students from a variety of disciplines an important foundation for any further formal study in this area. This text is also co-designed with students studying models of disability, so the authors fully understand the issues students experience when learning about these models, and this text actively addresses how to overcome them.This book will be an essential resource for undergraduate and postgraduate students studying critical disability studies from various disciplines including media and cultural studies, communication studies, disability studies and sociology.

This book examines how twenty-first century horror narratives are shaped by transmedia storytelling, digital convergence, and mediated intertextuality. Contemporary storytelling is increasingly participatory, multimodal, and intermedial. As a result, it might be tempting to argue that we are witnessing an entirely new set of horrors emerging in today’s digitised world. Despite the innovations brought about by artificial intelligence, digital connectivity and social media, this book argues that today’s horror narratives are deeply rooted in historical and cultural discourses. Age-old fears are being reimagined in a new media landscape that is both global and deeply personal. This collection offers insights into how horror narratives are evolving across various media platforms including film, television, video games, and social media such as TikTok and YouTube. It also explores the lived reality of communities who engage with horror as a cultural identity and practice, considering how fashion, make-up, and costuming operate as their own forms of transmedia. These chapters examine the relationship between media, culture, and technology, revealing how digital culture reshapes traditional horror motifs and influences social norms. Readers will gain a deeper understanding of the connections between new storytelling practices and established genres, as well as how these narratives reflect contemporary societal fears and desires. This book will be valuable for scholars of media studies, fan studies, game studies, the Gothic, and horror research. By addressing both emerging technologies and historical representations of horror, the collection provides critical perspectives for academics interested in the intersections of media, culture, identity, community, and horror. The interdisciplinary approach will appeal to those studying screen studies, sociology, media representation, and cultural practices, offering new trends and insights within the evolving field of horror studies.
