Dominant Discourses

-By two important theorists of communication-- Michel Foucault and Stuart Hall.
-A "discourse" is a particular way of talking about a subject by groups of people, it contains particular ideological beliefs.
-Dicourse analysis identifies the cultrally and socially produced sets of ideas and values that stucture texts and representations.

We are looking at dominant dicourses in British indentity, shown in the media. I shall update this post with some examples.
