ABSTRACT: This research will analyze the variables differentiating between the audiovisual television of the
XIII edition of the Paralympic Games and the Games of the XXIX Olympiad, held in Beijing from the
7th of September to the 17th, 2008. This study will serve as a methodological basis for similar future
research. By means of a qualitative and quantitative methodology, this study also focuses on
determining if TV representations of Paralympic sportspersons favour their social integration or
if, on the contrary, lead to higher stigmatization.
