Media and Collective Identity: Race For this exam you need to learn about the following functions: • How media that are in
public circulation now represent groups of people in different ways • How these representations can be seen as different to historical representations of the same groups • The effects in society of particular kinds of media representation of collective identities
• The ways in which people
might use the media actively to form a collective identity • Debates around the idea that our identities are increasingly constructed
“Identity is complicated. Everyone thinks they’ve got one.” (Gauntlett, 2007) Read
pages 48-49 from the OCR A2 Media Studies book that your teacher has given you. Underline or highlight any key pieces of text that you feel are particularly relevant to the issue of identity and be prepared to discuss them with the class.
Research Time: Pairs Open
a Mac and research Blumler & Katz’s Uses and Gratifications theory of media. You may also find an interesting perspective from the University of Aberystwyth’s Daniel Chandler. You should each print off a copy of your work as you will need it for the next task.
TIME: 15 MINUTES
Class Feedback What
is the Uses and Gratifications theory? Why might people watch a show like 24? You will now be shown a series of clips from the US hit Fox TV show 24. You should make notes on any representations of race that you find particularly interesting.
The Uses and Gratifications Theory Revisited Paired Discussion: Are there any parts of the Uses and Gratifications theory that should never be applied to a fictional show like 24?
If so, why is this? Why might it be dangerous?
Read the article entitled ‘Sky Faces Muslim Anger over 24’. What are your own thoughts about the opinions expressed?
Research Time: Round Two The Very Big and Very Important Question... Does the Muslim Council of Britain have a valid point? What reason might Sky or Fox have for representing a certain group of people in a particular way?
How are you going to investigate this?
