Different Theories

Throughout our media lessons we have been concentrating on the subject of theory within the media and broadening our knowledge of it. Theory is linked either to a name for a group of similar theories

e.g Structuralism

Roland Barthe-mythologies

Claude Levi Strauss-binary oppositions

Stuart Hall-encoding-decoding

Gerard Genette-transexualities

or is it the theory of one person

e.g Laura Mulveys theory of "The male gaze"

"Within Feminist Media theory"
