SOCC44H3 Lecture Notes - Lecture 3: Slacktivism
Document Summary
Effects of organizational and industry structure on cultural products. Locations of power: hegemony (how it creates itself, maintain itself) Empirical studies help determine the nature and extent of such effects. Symbolic interactionist approach: interactions among individuals/small groups, qualitative work > quantitative, inductive > deductive. All people and activities involved in creating an art work. Taken for granted as natural, not recognized as socially constructed: can be seen in art, literal -> abstract. How technology evolved first is through printing industries. Public service: example: cbc, where government is involved in setting up media for public good, but only funds not direct censorship/control. State-subsidized: common in scandinavia, country decides that minority voices are being heard, not just hegemonic ideas, opportunities of diverse ideas/opinions. Communist: government ran, mandated, control over content, idea that there is promote the working class, but in the end, promoted communist community.
