Media Analysis Techniques begins by examining four techniques of media interpretation―semiotic theory, Marxist theory, psychoanalytic theory, and sociological theory―that Berger considers critical for creative people to acknowledge if they are to understand how their creations translate to the real world. Application chapters then link popular culture to these four theories.
Written in an accessible style that demystifies complex concepts, it includes a glossary, study guides, and the author's own illustrations.
