From the Author
A summary of why this book was written
this book was written because I found that teaching all the variables of image analysis was not the most interesting part of a Media Studies course. A book which gave explanations of these variables was needed; chapter one of 'Image and Representation' is that book.
Each of the key concepts in Media Studies can be dealt with at varying levels of difficulty. For example, media language can be dealt with in a relatively straightforward fashion but can also be exceptionally complex involving the ideas of semiotics and the functions of ideology. This book is differentiated so it presents the concepts in a basic fashion and then with greater complexity.
The last two chapters of this book considers the key concept of representation. It offers a variety of case studies including television news, More! magazine and the film 'Blue Steel'. The advanced section offers a history of realism and considers the influence of May '68 on Media theory.
This book is aimed at advanced and degree-level students. My students like it, but then they would say that. I am interested in your opinion.
