Stuttering in Cinema
Textual Analysis of the Paradigm Shift in its Representation
Abstract The image that the seventh art offers about disability is fundamental in the collective perception of disability. This paper studies, in the form of textual analysis, two films that address the disability of stuttering and whose productions are twenty-two years apart: A Fish Called Wanda (Charles Crichton, 1988) and The King's Speech (Tom Hooper, 2010). Both productions are fundamental to understand how in the last decades the representation of the collective of people who stutter in cinema has changed. We begin with an exposition of the main works on what stuttering is, followed by the impact of the associated stigma that it generates in those affected, continuing with the textual analysis of both pieces to finally discuss and conclude what this change in the collective imaginary means for people who stutter, highlighting the benefits in terms of social inclusion and dignification in society of a realistic and correct representation of the disability of stuttering in film.
