Context of Practice
Study Task 3
Write an analysis (3-500 words) of one media image of your choosing. This analysis should highlight how the intended reader/audience would construct their identity by a specific reading of the text which is based on the 'othering' of other groups or individuals.
Your analysis should evidence an understanding of the concept of 'othering' and also show some acknowledgement of how much the security of our own fragile subjectivities or identities depend on this process.
The following texts are useful reading material on identity
Woodward, K (ed. 1999) Identity and Difference , Sage, London
Hall, Stuart (1997) Representation: Cultural Representations and signifying practices, Sage, London
