Bliv klogere på de paralympiske lege 2020

De paralympiske lege er verdens tredjestørste sportsbegivenhed – kun overgået af OL og VM i fodbold. Som det har været tilfældet siden 1988 afholdes OL og PL som ét langt event over 45 dage med start den 23. juli, hvor der er åbningsceremoni ved OL.

De Paralympiske Lege 2020 kommer til at indeholde 539 begivenheder fordelt på 22 sportsgrene, som afvikles på 21 lokationer spredt rundt i Tokyo mellem den 24. august og 5. september 2021.

Den danske trup til de Paralympiske Lege i Tokyo består af 25 atleter fordelt over otte sportsgrene.

Vi har samlet en række podcasts, artikler og film til dig, der gerne vil blive klogere på Paralympiadens historie, discipliner, deltagere og betydning

Disability Narratives in Sports Communication: Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games’ Best Practices and Implications

The Paralympic Games have become a relevant social and communication tool for the enhancement of global awareness and understanding of disability. The increasing visibility of this kind of global sports event, as well as the efforts of public authorities to make their host cities more accessible, evidence a relevant shift to new urban barrier‐free experiences and discourses concerning disability. This research is guided by an exploratory case study approach to assess the disability rep‐ resentation and narratives within the context of the 2020 Tokyo Paralympic Games. The examination of some innovative communication strategies fostering the visibility of disability reveals a series of effective practices implemented in Japan. The focus on the personification of para‐athletes, the celebration of public events to experience first‐hand para‐sports disciplines, as well as the engagement of school children and young people in para‐sports initiatives are predominant in the communication efforts of Tokyo 2020 in the pre‐games period.

Disability, Sport, and Television: Media Visibility and Representation of Paralympic Games in News Programs

Abstract: With a few exceptions, media visibility and representation of people with disabilities is scarce. It is biased and anchored in stigma, distorting their image and hindering their full social participation. Paralympic sport is one of the social fields where the challenge of an objective representation of disability becomes particularly important due to the ever-increasing amount of television attention to the Paralympic Games as a global sports event and some persisting stereotypes in media representation of athletes with disabilities. Through an exploratory and interpretive research method, aimed at assessing media visibility of disability from the perspective of content production and its dissemination, the paper reviews the evolution of media representation of the Paralympic Games and athletes with disabilities during Sochi 2014, Rio 2016, and PyeongChang 2018 global sports events in the daily news programs from the National Spanish Broadcaster, RTVE. The effective inclusion of people with disabilities in the public sphere and a progressive removal of stereotypes and stigma depends to a great extent on the visibility and objective representation of disability in media.
