Projekt: The International Access Symbol: Global Diffusion and Local Diversity
| Projektname: | The International Access Symbol: Global Diffusion and Local Diversity |
| Träger: | Georg-August-Universität Göttingen/Syracuse University, New York |
| Projektbeschreibung: | The International Symbol of Access (ISA), used in a variety of specific locations since 1969 to represent purposely-facilitated access, has become ubiquitous throughout the world within just a few decades. Found wherever people move in physical space, navigating environmental barriers, this symbol of a wheelchair user is among the most widely recognized representations of disability. While it provides daily interactions with issues of accessibility and disability, its design and purposes in different cultural contexts are neither obvious nor uncontested. Indeed, state authorities and social movement groups have modified the ISA to represent a variety of perspectives and goals. This project charts the global diffusion of the symbol and compares the meanings of modified versions found in locations worldwide.
