Document Summary

If we know how meaning is produced we have some critical insight into the way we are being swallowed up by manufactured myth. Our identities, desires, wants are being engineered and constructed for us and we msut existentially and critically negotiate this complex terrain we now live in. The goal is to produce some other kind of cultural space for people to construct their identies in. A space that mediates relations without being hierarchical or sexist, or racist, etc. Cultural studies" project has been to look at the manufacture of identities. Barthes - how something means what it means, below its content. The message of any media is another media. So mcluhan"s work is also formalist in this kind of way but he steps beyond it. Foucault - moves from strictly formalism towards a politics of knowledge per se. This is a key di erence between semiotics and foucault"s later work (discursive analysis).
