Lo6 - Theories.


  • GENRE THEORY.

Patrick Philips (1996) - genre offers commutable reassurance

Barry Keith (1995) - all genres have subgenera

Brandson and Stafford (1999) - genres help minimise risk and predict expenditure.

Rick Altman (1999) - Emotional Pleasures, Visceral pleases, Intellectual pleasures.

David Bordwell (1998) - any theme may appear in any genre.


  • NARRATIVE.

Pam Cook (1985) - enigma resolution (a solved problem) and narrative closure (when we have a definite ending).

Tzvetam Todorov (1997) - equilibrium, disrupted to make disequilibrium, action took against the disruption, state of new equilibrium.

Levi-Strauss (1958) - binary opposition, good vs evil.


  • REPRESENTATION. 

Laura Mulvay (1975) - Male Gaze

Stuart Hall (1995), Alvarado (1985) - Western / White cultures continue to mis represent ethnic minorities as in the media due to underlying media due to underlying racist tendencies.

Earp & Katz (1999) - Men are often represented as having tenancies of pathological control over violence

  • EFFECTS IN MEDIA. 
Chris Ferguson (2012) showed no long term link over three years regarding violent video games having an impact on those that play them.

George Gerbner and Larry Gross (1979) - Culitivation Theory.
This theory examines the long term effects of television. "The more time people spend watching TV, the more time the more likely they are to believe that they are to believe social reality aligns with reality portrayed on television."

Craig Anderson (2007) that high exposure to fact - paced violent games can lead to changes in brain function when processing violent images , including dampening of emotional responses to violencee. One of the high risk factors

Stanley Cohen (1972)  - Moral panic (when things are believed to be a threat to society such as folk devils)

Hall, (1980) - All representations are mediated

Perkins (1979) - There is a use of stereotypes / counter types, but not all stereotypes are negative. 

Turton (2014) - hooligans, trouble causers, black and Asian boys. 

Lloyd (1995) - girls as double deviant - trouble causers but shouldn't be because they are women.
