John Fiske - Genre Theory


John Fiske
  • "Attempts to structure some order into the wide range of texts and meanings that circulate in our culture for the convenience of both producers and audience"
  • A way of categorising texts in our media - saturated culture
  • Prepares audiences expectations
  • Culturally dependent - different cultural groups construct different expectations
  • Constructed through a series of signs (visual/aural) associated with that genre or through use of generic narratives and ideologies
