Personal Identity

David Gauntlett

1. We get SOME of our identity from the media. But most is still influenced from outside the media

2. In the past, representations are simple. Now, representations are complex.

Four Factors

Fluidity - People do not have fixed personality, it changes through time

Constructed - The mass media constructs identities through representation that it shows us. Which influences on how the audience view things

Negotiated - How we feel to the various representations that are given, Do we agree with them or go against them?

Collective - Beings inside of a community, group or fandom in the media can shape our identity as well.

Post Modernism Case Studies

Analyze the key characteristics of postmodern media? Jean Baudrillard stated that post modernist texts is a copy of a copy in where there is reality, Heightened reality and hyper reality, with each one being more surreal than the other. A Documentary like 'Hailstorm' ( 2022 ) available on Netflix is an example of heightened reality as it includes aspects that are real such as natural environment, sounds and real life locations but at the same time includes artificial editing that creates different meaning in the form of music, narration and camera angles.
