Nathans Abrams
''Studying Film''

Abrams, N., Bell, I., & Udris, J. (2001). Studying film . London: Arnold ;.

'' There are 5 key elements to be considered when studying stars. The star as a real person, the star as a form of economic capital or commodity, the star in performance; as someone who takes on roles and characters, the star as an image, a persona, a celebrity, a star as a form of representations''

''Think about what this says about modern day stars. Is there a gap between thier star image and the real person?''


AS Media Studies : The Essential Introduction

Rayner, P., Kruger, S., & Wall, P. (2006). AS media studies: the essential introduction (2nd. ed.). London: Routledge.

(Stereotyping)

'' Rather than representing them as individuals, sections of the media use kind of shortland in the way in which they represent some groups of people.''

'' The representation of groups, however, is not axed forever and its possible to observe how it changes over time.''

''It can be argued that this may be linked ideologically to such things as legislation promoting equal opportunity.''

John Hartley
''Communication, Cultural and Media Studies :
The Key Concepts:
Third Edition''

Routledge Key Guides.
Hartley, J. (2002). Communication, cultural and media studies: the key concepts (3. ed.). London [u.a.: Routledge.

''Ethinicity is crucial to identity formation yet it is not something predetermined or complete. Ethinicity for Hall, is a 'project', or something that we continually shape through which we position ourselves.''

''By explaining cultural identity through biological makeup in this way, the concept of ethinicty can lead to reductionists conclusions and cultural essentialism: 'they are like that beacause its in thier blood' (Gillespie, 1995: 8). ''
