A reminder as to what we mean by identity:

Identity is the way we see ourselves and the way different groups in society see us. We have a
cultural identity, in that we belong to particular cultures and groups, and a personal identity
including, for example, our age, gender, sexuality, race.
Identity is not fixed, but constructed over time. It is continually updated, revised and changed, a
story we create about ourselves. Giddens called this, ‘the on-going story about the self’.


Identities can be complex and contradictory and an individual can also have multiple identities. For example, our online identity might be very different from the one we have at college, work or home. People also need to present or display their identity as part of its construction.

The pre-set topic of Identities and the Media will involve the media concepts of representation,
ideology and audience.

David Gauntlett resource:

We have the book to be loaned out, however here is a link to a webpage based on the book:

Unit 3
Exam Section B: Case Study

Identities and the Media

When you come back to school, you will have decided what identity that is portrayed in the media that you will study. There are lots to choose from, e.g.:

Scottish National identity in the media
Jewish identity in the media
homosexuality in the media
black identity in the media
Palestinian identity in the media
Disabled people in the media
Elderly in the media etc.

You must look at how that identity is portrayed across the media.

Below are links to articles that you may find useful (particularly relevant to the study of Jewish and Palestinian identities in the media as this is a hugely relevant topic at this time. Remember that you should be studying topics that are relevant and current.)

http://www.theguardian.com/media/2014/jul/16/bbc-defends-coverage-israeli-airstrikes-gaza-palestinian

Programmes which portray Jewish identity: The Honourable Woman (We watched the first episode of this in class).

Above is an example of where you would start once you had decided on an identity that you are going to study, and how it is portrayed in the media.
Take the easy route and choose an identity that is in the media currently. This is why Jewish Identity/ Palestinian Identity and Scottish National Identity are good examples as they are current. However, as we discussed in class - there are lots of possibilities. Just ensure you return in September with an identity that you have already begun to study.
For the exam, you will need to have a thorough understanding of the ways the identity is represented in the media with lots of textual examples.

Below is a reminder of when we studied the representation of the elderly in the media:



More help will be posted before we return to school. Keep checking the blog, and keep informed by checking media. You should be immersing yourself in media daily as an A-Level student.
