Collaborative Activity 3: End of Semester Mind Map Created by: Bijal…

- - - - LIBERAL FEMINISM
        
        Doesn't posit a system – patriarchy or capitalism – determining the oppression of women. Tends to see the problem in terms of male prejudice against women, embodied in law or expressed in the exclusion of women from particular areas of life
      - MARXIST FEMINISM
        
        The ultimate source of oppression is capitalism.
        
        The domination of women by men is seen as a consequence of capital’s domination over labour
        
        Critical Race Theory
        
        Critical race theory in media studies thinks about race as a cultural and historical category, a way of signifying differences based on the colour of people’s skin.
        
        Race does important ideological and discursive work, and is used to produce and maintain power hierarchies (racism)
        
        existing outside of categories of “race” and “ethnicity” is a privileged position

        Neoliberal feminism: Develops put of the context of postfeminism

        Happy work life balance
      - RADICAL FEMINISM
        
        Women’s oppression is the result of the system of patriarchy
- - - - Doty argues that “queerness” is a mass cultural reception practice shared by a range of people in varying degrees of consistency and intensity.
        
        Queer readings aren’t ‘alternative’ readings, wishful or wilful misreading, or ‘reading too much into things’ readings. They result from the recognition and articulation of the complex range of queerness that has been in popular culture texts and their audiences all along
        
        Trans Media
        
        The term transgender is used to “include a wide range of gender-variant practices, embodiments, and identities that challenge the assumed stability of, and relationality between, biological sex, the gender binary, and sexuality” (Fischer,94)
        
        LGBT activism often thinks of LGBT as a community with common goals and struggles, in doing so, trans experiences are silenced.
- - - - Cultural studies and gaming culture (Adrienne Shaw)
        
        Why plays?
        -Men are angry, growing things
        
        Constantly sitting in front of the screen.
        
        Interacting with people online
        
        Hegemony and the gaming industry.
        The industry is hegemonic.
        The game industry comprises a majority of male designers and programmers creating games for boys and men.
        We see that games are as hegemonic where we can see how video games circulate ideologies through specific characters, settings, narratives, and dialogue choices.
        
        Cultural studies allows us to think about "video games in culture rather than games as culture."
        
        Outside of a broader cultural condition
- - - - Popular music culture establishes a sense of identity, emotional support for youth (Storey, p.54, 2021)
- - - - Ferdinand de Saussure Signifier: the material form of the sign
        Signified: the mental image of the sign
        
        Meaning is a process of combination and selection between sign and referent (Storey, p.116, 2021)
        
        Langue: the linguistic system of language Parole: the individual use of language
        
        Roland Barthes: cultural objects convey certain meanings with signs

        Langue: the system of languages organized by rules and conventions.

        Denotation: literal meanings of words Connotation: signs that require cultural/historical knowledge
      - "Sign: something that shares meaning which invites someone to think of something" (Ott and Mack, p.111, 2014)
        
        Signifier + Signified = Sign
      - Charles Sanders Peirce: semiotic is the formal doctrine of signs based on sign, object, and interpretant (Ott and Mack, p.114, 2014)
