Thesis (Ph.D.)--The University of Wisconsin - Madison, 2012.

Web accessibility--the processes by which online content is made usable by people with disabilities--is a complex process, which is governed by several official policies, implemented by various websites and professionals, and experienced differently by individuals with specific disabilities. As a result, it has not been seamlessly integrated with web content, and people with disabilities remain less likely to be web users than other Americans. In its complexity, web accessibility encourages consideration of media access not as a goal, but as a variable arrangement of conditions.

520 $a This dissertation looks to the social history of web accessibility in order to consider how access to media might better be understood and implemented across a variety of bodily abilities. Three main methodologies are used: first, historical research draws on archival documents, open-ended interviews, and policy documents to detail the formation of accessibility policies in the United States between 1985 and 2010; secondly, representational analysis of media texts, including popular press and fictional portrayals, demonstrates the ways in which disability was understood in relation to online technology; finally, participant observation of a disability blogosphere and open-ended interviews with bloggers illustrate the continuing challenges for people with disabilities in having their accessibility needs met. Together, these methods illustrate persistent tensions surrounding intended audience, technical knowledge, disability rights, and the consumption and production of online content. By highlighting these tensions among stakeholders, and the resulting incomplete implementation of accessibility policies, this project challenges media studies' optimistic notions of "participatory culture," contributes to debates about an online public sphere, and augments critical disability studies' work on accommodation and equity. Finally, a new model for the study of media access is proposed, in which sociohistorical contexts, diverse points of entry, varied content, divergent media forms, and countless intended uses of media are treated as articulated spheres of analysis.
