Welcome

Welcome to the blog for Collective Identity. Here you will find a variety of materials in support of the case studies that we are analysing in class. You will be studying the media representation of young people, and will concentrate specifically on the London riots, case study film Harry Brown, case study TV series of The Inbetweeners, and online social media (blogs).

To navigate your way around this blog the easiest thing to do is to use the 'lables'. The materials for each lesson are here for you to view, but they can't replace attending the class - there will be some materials and activities that we will not post on here for that reason.

If you've been asked to post your homework on the blog then please go to your class blog - listed on the right hand side of this blog.

Enjoy!

Lesson 9 - Revision of the unit (1)


Lesson 8 - Prosumer activity

Diary of a Badman: excellent example of very popular prosumer activity on Youtube.  Created by a British teenager, Diary of a Badman provides a humorous insight into his relationship with his Mum and other aspects of his life.  Great example of how web 2.0 can change representation and stereotypes of young people.  This is a good example to write about in your exam answer =:

Interesting music videos for analysis

Plan B:  ill manors

Plan B's news music video comments on the London riots.  How could you apply Althusser or Adorno to this video, and link it back to our case studies?




Chase and Status: End Credits

This video was released at the same time as the film Harry Brown and features sequences taken directly from the film.  It's a great example of synergy.
