Feminist theories help explain how religion can oppress women and support patriarchy in society. Specifically, feminism views religion as serving an ideological role to justify male dominance, as compensating for disadvantages elsewhere, and as controlling women's choices and behavior. While feminism emphasizes how religion benefits men, other theories like functionalism and new right may challenge feminist views by arguing religion serves other purposes.
MS1 ideological theories
False consciousness is a Marxist concept that describes how the ruling class maintains power by promoting an ideology that encourages subordinate groups to accept their roles. For example, media representations promote narrow definitions of femininity that encourage women to conform to stereotypes. The Frankfurt School coined the term "false needs" to describe how advertisers create consumer desires for products that would not otherwise exist through psychological techniques that appeal to emotions like envy and aspirations. Maslow's hierarchy of needs proposes that human motivations are ordered based on priority from physiological to self-actualization needs, and while not about media, provides a framework to analyze how lifestyle magazines may relate to audiences' real or portrayed needs. Uses and gratifications theory recognizes that media are used in various ways
Introduction to Ideology
Ideology refers to a system of beliefs or values shared by a group. The document discusses analyzing ideologies in superhero films such as Iron Man, Superman, and The Dark Knight. It prompts analyzing how Tony Stark's attitude changes in Iron Man and what ideologies the film deals with, such as American leadership and threats of terrorism. Students are asked to compare ideologies across films and give examples of common ideologies like liberty/freedom dealt with across many superhero films.
Cultural criticism slides 2020
This document provides an overview of different approaches to cultural criticism. It discusses criticism versus cynicism, explaining that critics carefully examine media through evidence-based analysis rather than making unsupported judgments. Several theories of cultural criticism are then outlined, including reader response, formalism, and biographic, Marxist, deconstructionist, psychoanalytic, and archetypal approaches. The document notes criticism in the 1990s predominantly involved white male critics from Western nations. It argues for more diverse perspectives to achieve richer understanding. Finally, it briefly introduces feminist, critical race theory, and ecocriticism as alternative approaches.
Lesson 4 representation in media products
This document provides guidance for students on analyzing self-created media pieces by applying communication theories. It discusses two assignments: analyzing two of the student's own productions, and evaluating one production in relation to concepts like genre, narrative, and representation. Students are told they do not need to fully explain theories but should apply a few theories to their work and evaluate the theories' usefulness. Several theories are then outlined that could be applied, including notions of representation, stereotypes, gender representation, and the male gaze. Guidance is provided on properly citing and using theories in analysis.
Representation theory slideshare
Representation theory examines how people, places, and objects are presented to audiences through various mediums. Stereotypes are representations of groups that simplify their characteristics and become symbolic of that group over time, though they may contain truths. Dominant ideologies in a society, which serve the interests of ruling classes according to Marxist theory, also influence how groups are represented. A theorist proposed that celebrity images are constructed through various materials like advertising and magazines, rather than representing real people. Gender representation theory examines how women are often portrayed through a male gaze in media and stereotypical ways that emphasize their beauty, sexuality, or mothering roles rather than as fully realized people.
Representation theory
Representation is how people, places, or objects are presented to an audience through a process of modification and mediation. Stereotypes are representations of people that simplify groups and become symbols over time, containing both negative and sometimes truthful understandings of social roles and status. Dominant ideologies in society, according to Marxist theory, serve the interests of ruling classes by influencing beliefs. Dyer proposed that media stars are constructed images made of various materials like advertising and magazines that shape their fictional personas. Gender representation theory holds that media is typically created from a heterosexual male gaze, and women are often depicted in stereotypical or objectified ways according to social norms and roles.
Audience investigation
The document discusses several theories related to media audiences:
- The two-step flow theory explains how information spreads from media to opinion leaders to the general audience.
- The hypodermic syringe model from the 1920s viewed audiences as vulnerable to manipulation by media producers.
- Laura Mulvey's "male gaze" theory from 1975 argues that audiences view characters in film from the perspective of a heterosexual male.
- Bulmer and Katz's uses and gratification theory from 1974 examines why audiences use media for entertainment, social relationships, identity, and information.
- These audience theories can be applied to the horror genre, such as viewing females through the male gaze in horror films with a male killer targeting women.

Social identity theory in socio cultural approach to learning behavior
Social Identity Theory proposes that people have both a personal identity and a social identity based on their group memberships. It involves three main cognitive processes: social categorization, social identification, and social comparison. Social categorization involves dividing the social environment into in-groups that one belongs to and out-groups that one does not belong to. Social identification is adopting the identity of the in-group as part of one's self-concept. Social comparison involves comparing one's in-group to out-groups in order to enhance self-esteem.
Representation Theory
Representation is how people, places, or objects are presented to an audience through a process of modification and mediation. Stereotypes are representations of groups that simplify and provide shortcuts to conceptualize diversity, though they also contain complex social understandings. Dominant ideologies in society, which serve ruling class interests according to Marxist theory, impact people's actions and goals. Dyer proposed that stars are constructed images made of various promotional materials rather than real people. Gender representation theory holds that media is often created from a male gaze, portraying women as objects of beauty or in stereotypical roles, and some argue women's increased status is due to their importance as consumers in a capitalist society.
Ideology & The Media
Ideology refers to the ideals that society feels pressure to conform to, which are influenced by institutions like the mass media. Althusser saw ideology as shaping people's thoughts and awareness. The media promotes certain ideals, like the nuclear family, by disproportionately representing it on TV. This continual exposure strengthens the belief that the nuclear family is the ideal, which the media then uses to market products that conform to this ideal lifestyle.

Audience theory
Mass audiences can be both positively and negatively viewed as anonymous with little interaction. Socially and media grouped theory says audiences can be grouped by social status and media consumption habits. Richard Dyer's utopian solution theory believes audiences use media to indulge inadequacies in their lives. The two-step flow theory proposes people view media then discuss it with others, offering opinions. Audiences can also be grouped by age, gender, ethnicity, education, and religion. Reception analysis is that no text has one meaning and the audience helps create meaning based on upbringing, mood, context, and personal factors.

A2 Media Studies: Representation Intro
Representations in media do not present objective reality, but rather a constructed version of events or situations. They invite audiences to interpret them in preferred or dominant ways. Whatever representations are used implicitly convey ideologies, meanings, and values. This gives media institutions power and responsibility over how they represent social groups and influence attitudes. Stereotypes simplify representations but often rely on assumptions. They are commonly used against minority or disadvantaged groups. Ideologies in media serve the interests of those in power and reinforce dominant beliefs in society through representations and stereotypes.
ASY1 Media Studies Representation 2: Stereotypes
The document discusses representation and stereotypes in media. It defines stereotypes as simplified portrayals of social groups that emphasize easily grasped features and make moral judgments. Stereotypes are a form of representation that reduces people to only a few traits. They tend to occur where there are social inequalities and are used to construct subordinate groups as "other." While stereotypes can reinforce dominant power structures, some media texts subvert expectations by turning traditional stereotypes on their heads.
Key concept representation
This document provides an overview of key concepts in representation theory including ideology, stereotypes, and how representations are encoded to reinforce dominant views. It discusses theorists like Karl Marx who believed ideology is imposed from dominant groups, and Laura Mulvey's concept of the male gaze which objectifies women.

2012 representation
Representation is how media portray reality through specific portrayals of people, places, and issues. It is not necessarily an accurate reflection but a constructed version. Media representations shape how audiences view things by selecting what to include and exclude and using language, images, and editing to guide audience understanding in a particular way. Representations reflect the views and values of their creators and can influence audience attitudes if they promote biased or unfair portrayals of groups.
Representation2ppt

- How representations in media are influenced by culture and social norms rather than being completely objective
- How our sense of reality is increasingly structured through narrative forms in media

Representation theory
Representation theory examines how media represent people, places, events and concepts through images, words and sounds. It considers how representations are constructed and how they seem natural to audiences. Representations are selective and involve processes of production, distribution and reception that shape meaning. Audiences interpret representations based on their own experiences and backgrounds.
Theorist cards.docx
The document discusses several theories related to media representations of youth and identity formation:
1. Dick Hebdige's theory from 1979 analyzed British youth subcultures and how they used style to challenge dominant ideology. Media representations of youth were limited to portrayals as troublemakers or sources of fun.
2. David Gauntlett's 2002 theory examined how media texts influence self-identity and expression. He argued people shift from passive consumers to active producers through new media like Web 2.0.
3. Tajfel and Turner's 1979 social identity theory proposed that people categorize themselves into in-groups to build identity, creating boundaries with out-groups. Youths often divide into subcultures based on
