The document discusses four theories of power: Weber theorized that power is the ability of individuals to achieve their goals; in the 1920s, eugenics aimed to restrict certain groups like the disabled; Dahl's 1950s pluralism theory argued that societies appear pluralist with diverse views, but media ownership by companies like Murdoch's shows the same viewpoints are presented to different classes; Foucault saw power as relying on charisma and authority in both coercive and traditional forms.

Sami race essay
This document outlines an essay presentation on why historical context is needed when examining the social construction of race in Britain. It includes an introduction defining key terms like race, social construction, and historical context. It then outlines three main sections: [1] how imperialism and the slave trade influenced racial divisions; [2] the impact of immigration in the 1980s and rise of new racism/right wing politics; and [3] how both gender and race are socially constructed linked to British capitalism and colonialism. It concludes by restating the three arguments and showing they support the thesis. Sources to be cited include books, statistics, and newspaper articles.

Sociology is the study of social groups and society. It examines how society is organized and how social factors influence individual and group behavior. Sociology analyzes social structures, social change, social institutions, and social relationships. Studying sociology can change one's perspective on societal structures and challenge assumptions about how society functions.
Collective prompt q1
The document discusses how youth can be seen as a collective identity. It explores how youth share experiences like adolescence, education, finding work, and experimentation. Youth also share attributes like innocence, frustration, and hope. The document then analyzes how media historically represented youth both positively and negatively. More recently, youth have been portrayed more negatively in stereotypical ways as rebellious or part of problematic subcultures. The document argues that these representations reflect societal fears and fill youth identities with adult interests and agendas.
Intro conley
This document provides an overview of key concepts in sociology introduced by Dalton Conley in an introductory sociology course, including C. Wright Mills' concept of the sociological imagination, different founding theorists like Marx, Durkheim, and Weber, and different theoretical perspectives in sociology such as structural functionalism, conflict theory, and symbolic interactionism. Conley discusses how sociology examines social institutions and the social construction of self and gender. He also contrasts sociology with related fields by examining differences in methods and levels of analysis.
Prompt 3
Collective identity refers to how media representations can shape societal views of groups. Youth are often portrayed in popular media narratives of adolescence, as deviant subcultures, or as alienated from society. How audiences consume and interpret these media texts can influence their own identities and opinions of these collective groups.
Prompt question 2
The document discusses the emergence of teenagers and youth subcultures in Britain. It provides several reasons for the emergence of teenagers in postwar Britain, including the postwar baby boom, rising affluence that gave young people disposable income, and the rise of consumer culture that targeted youth markets. It also discusses factors that have led to an increase in the number of youth subcultures today, such as larger society size, rapid social change, and increased globalization. Finally, it notes that today's youth subcultures are more fluid and interconnected than classic theories portrayed.
Katz and Lazarsfeld
Paul Lazarsfeld and Elihu Katz were influential sociologists known for developing the two-step flow of communication theory in the 1950s. The two-step theory proposes that media messages are often filtered through opinion leaders who influence others informally. Lazarsfeld studied radio audiences and quantitative methods, while Katz studied mass communication and its effects. Together, they argued that people's opinions are shaped not just directly by media, but through interpersonal communication with opinion leaders first exposed to media. Their research influenced the fields of communication and media studies.

This document provides an overview of a research project analyzing the construction of women's images in Soviet fiction movies from 1967 to 1982. It examines how women are portrayed as workers, wives, and mothers through a discourse analysis of 5 popular movies from the period. Preliminary findings suggest the films replicated gender patterns from early Soviet cinema and displayed conflicts between women's work and family roles not publicly discussed until 1985. The research draws on literature about gender in Soviet and post-Soviet Russia to understand how the movies represented femininity and women's status through marriage.

Feudal societies lesson 10
Feudal societies in medieval Europe and Japan shared some common elements. Knights in Europe and samurai in Japan were expected to behave with honor and courage when faced with difficult odds. The feudal systems of both regions established hierarchies with lords granting land to vassals in exchange for loyalty and military service. However, the subjects of European and Japanese art during this time differed, with European art focusing more on Christianity while Japanese art emphasized cultural traditions.
Post modernism and islam
1. The document discusses the relationship between Islam and postmodernism.
2. Postmodernism challenges the idea of ultimate principles and denies the existence of scientific or religious truths that can fully explain reality. However, postmodernism cannot ultimately justify itself under its own principles.
3. The document explores how postmodernism relates to fundamentalism and ethno-religious revivalism. It also examines continuity between postmodernism and the past.
4. For Muslims, modernism led to issues like oppression, corruption, and unequal wealth distribution. The document ponders how postmodernism could be understood and applied in an Islamic context.
Collective prompt 2
Representations of British youth in media have changed over time to reflect contemporary subcultures. In the 1930s, youth were portrayed as well-mannered, while the 1950s saw the rise of rock music and rebellion against adults. The 1960s-70s showed mods, rockers and hippies, often fighting or protesting the Vietnam War. Today, gangs, drinking culture and sexualization of females are common portrayals. While some representations are negative, youth subcultures have historically challenged social norms through their style and behavior.
Ci etc etc
The document discusses media representation of the working class over time and across different media. It notes that while the working class was once marginalized in media, films and television in the late 1950s/early 1960s featured working class stories and characters at the center. However, more recent representations show greater dysfunction and aggression. This can negatively impact collective identity if audiences interpret media at face value, but the impact depends on how texts are decoded. While some argue negative portrayals influence policy, others believe audiences can negotiate meanings and the working class is representing itself through new media.
Prompt 3 no.2
The document discusses several theories related to collective identity and audience reception of media. It addresses how media representations of young people as threats to society can influence audience perceptions and the construction of social identities. Theories discussed include copy cat behavior, encoding/decoding theory, social identity theory, and how passive consumption of negative media portrayals can widen gaps between social groups.
Prompt 4
The document discusses how human identity is increasingly "mediated" or shaped by media influences. It covers theories about how audiences both reflect and shape their identities based on media representations. While the media can influence identities through representations that get embedded in popular culture, audiences also actively interpret media texts and use media as tools to navigate and construct their own identities.
Magazines, The Power of Words
Magazines have evolved significantly since their origins in the early 1700s. Early magazines like The Review served to disseminate information on public policy, literature and morals. The Saturday Evening Post became a truly national medium in the 1800s, containing essays, poetry and stories. Photographers like Mathew Brady helped establish photojournalism by having his Civil War photos reproduced in publications like Harper's Weekly. Magazines later specialized, with consumer magazines targeting specific interests and trade magazines focusing on particular industries. Muckraking journalists in the late 1800s wrote investigative pieces exposing issues in businesses, politics and society. Current magazine trends include targeting narrow audiences, prioritizing visual presentation, publishing short articles, and integrating magazines with other
postmodernism and popular culture
This document discusses postmodernism and its relationship to popular culture. It notes that postmodernism emerged in the late 20th century as a reaction to modernism. Postmodern authors reject objective truth and celebrate multiple meanings in works. It also rejects distinctions between high and low art forms. Postmodernism questions rationalist European philosophy and argues that cultural constructions serve to empower dominant social groups. Beginning in the 1980s, postmodernism emerged across various fields like art, architecture, literature, and fashion.
Postmodernism lesson 2
The document discusses the key concepts of modernism including the shift from tradition to secularism and rationalization driven by industrialization and capitalism. Modernism was characterized by new technologies, urbanization, and an emphasis on efficiency and productivity. While modernism focused on science, order, and mass production, postmodernism questioned these assumptions and prioritized individual expression and interpretation over universal truths.
GDR Mail Art in the classroom
This document discusses the history and practice of Mail Art, particularly in East Germany during the 1980s. It provides background on Mail Art's origins in the Fluxus movement and its growth into a global, decentralized art form that allowed for participation outside of traditional art institutions. The document then focuses on Mail Art's use in East Germany as one of the few ways for artists to openly express opposition to the state due to limited technology and state surveillance of other media. It provides examples of East German Mail Artists and their works that commented on issues like pollution, the military, and economic conditions. The document concludes by discussing how studying East German Mail Art can develop students' critical thinking and language skills while teaching cultural and political history.
John fiske sophie
John Fiske is a media scholar who examines how cultural meaning is created in American society and how debates over issues like race are portrayed in different media. He discusses the concept of excorporation, which is the process by which mass cultural products are changed or remade into a culture of one's own. Specifically, Fiske states that excorporation is "the process by which the secondary make their own culture out of the resources and commodities provided by the dominant system." He believes this idea is central to studying popular culture and provides examples of how the cultural meaning of blue jeans has changed over decades as an illustration.

AS Lesson 12 - social classes and exam practice
The document discusses how different social classes are represented in British media. It analyzes representations of the upper class, middle class, working class, and those in poverty. The upper class is often portrayed through depictions of the monarchy and as cultured with estates. The middle class is overrepresented as educated and successful. The working class and poor are generally depicted in a negative stereotypical light as troubled or undeserving. Neo-Marxist perspectives argue that media representations reinforce social inequalities by celebrating hierarchy.

Notes On Modernism An Intro For Literature APPT
Modernism was a literary movement in the early 20th century that was a reaction to significant social and cultural changes like World War I and the Industrial Revolution. Modernist authors questioned traditional beliefs and institutions and experimented with new literary techniques like stream of consciousness and fragmentation. They focused on depicting the inner experiences of individuals to show how people were adapting to a rapidly changing world. Some key aspects of modernist literature include experimentation, an emphasis on individual perspectives over society as a whole, the use of free verse poetry, and reliance on symbols and imagery.
Past Representations and the Cultural Revolution
Youth subcultures emerged in post-war Britain as younger generations rebelled against social norms and embraced new styles and music. Influenced heavily by American culture, British youth in the 1950s formed groups like the Teddy Boys who rejected mainstream fashion through unique outfits and hairstyles. Subcultures continued to develop in the 1960s with the Mods, known for their focus on music and fashion, and Skinheads, who were inspired by Jamaican culture. Punks in the 1970s further pushed boundaries with anti-establishment ideologies and punk rock music.

Modernism
A movement dated from roughly 1900-1950. In short, modernism is about changes--changes in society and changes in literary form. Modernist literature represents the change a traditional society experiences as it becomes modern, a transformation that may be painful. In this time period, Americans witnessed the devastating effects of World War I, Black Friday and the subsequent stock market crash, the Great Depression, and World War II, and many people were disillusioned. Also in this time period came Darwin's theory of evolution, challenging traditional ideas about religion; Karl Marx's theories on communism, challenging the current idea of government; and Sigmund Freud's theory of the unconscious mind, challenging traditional ideas about humanity. Many modernist writers reflect this disillusionment and confusion by questioning traditional values and beliefs and/or portraying the failure of the American Dream. As the editors of your textbook point out, modernism is "an experience of loss" (Baym et al, 2013, p. 1847). This loss and uncertainty is sometimes reflected in literature that might end without a true resolution, echoing the loss many felt in their lives. The traditional "happy ending" is certainly not a staple in modernist literature.

Postmodernism: Into The World Of Divergents
A paper that talks about the theory of Postmodernism and it's application to some professional fields.
Eras of Media Theory
There are four main eras of media theory: 1) the Era of Mass Society and Mass Culture which viewed media as influential but negative and feared it could ruin society; 2) the Era of Scientific Perspective on Mass Media which emphasized scientific research showing media was not as powerful as previously believed; 3) the Era of Limited Effects where limited effects theory became widely accepted; and 4) the Era of Cultural Criticism characterized by the rise of cultural studies examining how media promotes hegemonic cultures that serve elite interests.
Identity
Postmodernism argues that identities are fragmented and changeable rather than stable. It claims that people actively create their own identities through their choices in social groups, consumption, and rejecting or adopting labels. Traditional views saw identity as based on fixed factors like class and nationality, but postmodernists, like Stuart Hall, say contemporary identities are fractured with people possessing multiple, contradictory concepts of themselves rather than a single unified identity.

There has been a decline in the significance of class in contemporary Britain. While social cleavages still exist, the definition of class has become more ambiguous over time. Increased social mobility between classes since the 1950s has weakened the significance of class, though clear hierarchies remain. Class awareness and class consciousness have dramatically declined as well. Today, the British class system appears to be based more on race and ethnicity, with marginalization of ethnic minorities creating a new underclass. However, Britain is still considered a class-bound society by many.Key media concepts/theories
Laura Mulvey proposed the male gaze theory, which argues that in visual media the camera lens represents a heterosexual male perspective, focusing on the female body and establishing male power.
Stuart Hall identified three ways audiences can interpret media texts: the preferred reading intended by producers; a negotiated reading that accepts some intentions but adapts others; and an oppositional reading that rejects the preferred reading.
Carol Vernalis' theory of music video codes and conventions centers around four key concepts - narrative, editing, camerawork, and diegesis - that shape how music videos are constructed.

There are four main eras of media theory:
1) The Era of Mass Society and Mass Culture viewed media as influential but negative, and worried about its power over ordinary people.
2) The Era of Scientific Perspective on Mass Media emphasized careful scientific experiments showing media's effects were limited.
3) During the Era of Limited Effects, limited effects theory was widely supported and research declined.
4) The Era of Cultural Criticism focused on how media promotes hegemonic cultures that serve elite interests.

Modernism in English Literature
Modernism was an artistic movement that arose in the late 19th and early 20th centuries as a reaction against traditional forms of art and literature. The movement reflected broader societal transformations brought about by industrialization, urbanization, new technologies, and World Wars. Modernist artists and writers sought to depart from traditional forms they viewed as outdated in order to develop new forms that captured the modern experience. Some key influences on Modernism included theories of relativity, psychoanalysis, and Darwin's theory of evolution, which challenged long-held beliefs. Modernism had a significant impact on fields like painting, music, dance, philosophy, psychology, architecture, science, sculpture, and literature.
Introduction to sociology
This document provides an introduction to sociology. It defines sociology as the scientific study of human social relationships and interactions. Sociology offers unique benefits like helping us understand social issues, how social systems shape our lives, why societies change, and providing theoretical perspectives to study social life. The history of sociology traces back to early philosophers but was established as a distinct field by Auguste Comte in the 19th century. Important early sociologists sought to bring social concerns to light and advance sociological understanding of society. Developing a sociological imagination allows one to understand how personal lives intersect with social forces. Careers that apply sociology are also listed.
