About This Item
New York, NY: Manchester University Press, 1989. Soft cover. Near Fine. Clean, tight, unmarked; absolute minimal wear; appears unread; For a long time arguments have been advanced, mostly in very general terms, about the power of the mass media, but one medium has attracted just about all the main kinds of claims about its effects: comics. This book systematically re-examines claims about media influence through the arguments over comics. Approaches to comics ranging from traditional 'effects' theory to post-structuralist analysis are tested; and concepts such as 'identification' and 'stereotype' systematically explored. Through these, a new theorisation of media power is formulated and tested. A book both for comic enthusiasts and for media analysts.
