Disability and Deafhood Database

This database, open source and free of charge, identifies and collects French and English Canadian sources of iconic productions (comic books, graphic novels) and audiovisual productions (documentary and fiction films and fictional television series) featuring at least one character with a disability. Through the development of an analytical sheet for each media production, for each member of the production (creation; illustration/drawing; direction; scripting) and for each character, it is possible to determine the characteristics of the (self)representations and the themes addressed (e.g., the type of role of the characters: main, secondary, tertiary; disabling situations encountered; whether they are subjected to ableism, intimidation or abuse, etc.). As of March 15, 2023, 137 entries media productions from a corpus of 215 have been analyzed. The analysis grids used to characterize each media production can be found in the \"Questionnaires\" folder. Video clips explaining how to query the database are available in the \"Tutorials\" folder.本数据库开源且免费，收录并标注了加拿大法语区与英语区的标志性创作（漫画书、图像小说）及视听作品（纪录片、剧情长片与虚构电视剧集），上述作品均至少包含一名残障（disability）角色。通过为每一部媒介作品、各制作成员（创作者、插画/绘图师、导演、编剧）以及每一位角色构建分析表，可明确其（自我）表征特征与所探讨的主题——例如角色的定位类型：主角、配角、三级角色；角色所遭遇的残障相关处境；是否遭受能力歧视（ableism）、恐吓或虐待等。截至2023年3月15日，该数据集总计215部的作品库中，已有137部媒介作品完成分析。用于刻画每一部媒介作品特征的分析框架可在「Questionnaires」文件夹中获取；讲解数据库查询方法的视频教程可在「Tutorials」文件夹中获取。
