Section B;
Media and Collective Identity
Strong responses evidenced a sound grasp on the ideas of David Gauntlett and Judith Butler. Discussion should be spohisticated and supported with detailed examples. Candidates are asked to avoid crude binary oppositions and crass generalisations about whole swathes of young people. Highly contemporary examples should be used and discussed in theoretical contexts such as hegenomy, democracy and representation. Candidates should move away from generalised discussion on how the media represent and engage in more micro discussion about how people give meaning to particular kinds of media in relation to their identity (how do they use music and film and why?)
