media representation
HALL
Popular culture is one of the sites where this struggle for and against a culture of the powerful is engaged: it is the stake to be won or lost in that struggle. It is the arena of consent and resistance.
Hall's academic work helped to construct an understanding of how the media industry and the routine production practices employed to make media products shape the representational output of the products we watch and read.
Hall also shone a critical light on media’s ability to reinforce social inequalities through stereotyping.
"...a truly insightful book which addresses important changes in today’s media landscape"
