Stuart Hall Theory

Stuart Hall: 

Was looking into mass media and the power of how media can represent DRCAGES

the opposition negotiated and preferred readings example

‘drink this drink for a week and you’ll lose 5 stone’

Opposition: I defo won't, definitely don’t believe 

Negotiated: I might kinda believe 

Preferred reading: I will definitely believe 


  • Media use stereotypes a lot 
  • Stereotypes reduce a group of people to some minor characteristics
  • Ethnic minorities are usually portrayed In a negative way
  • Dominant hegemonic groups (white, rich, male etc)  make these stereotypes and portray ethnic minorities as violent and mean
