David Buckingham, ‘The media do not just offer us a transparent ‘window on the world’ but a mediated version of the world. They don’t just present reality, they re-present it.’
Stuart Hall, "TV
provides images and representations of ‘the lives, meanings, practices
and values’ of social groups unfamiliar to us. TV ‘fills in’ our
picture of the world through its representations"
Julie D’Acci: ‘It is through representational...systems such as...film and television that the categories that seem so natural to us and the differences that organise our thinking (like masculinity and femininity, male and female) actually get determined’
Michel Foucault: Rather than audiences or viewers coming to the television screen with already-formed identities, television….actually help to inform the identity in question.
Alison Griffiths: stereoptypes as rigid, simplistic, overdetermined and inherently false…they misrepresented people’s ‘lived idenitities’ by falling back upon narrowly conceived preconceptions of racial, cultural and gendered difference, thus perpetuating myths about social, cultural and racial groups.
