- More about Dislike-Minded: Media, Audiences, and the Dynamics of Taste
Dislike-Minded investigates the reasons why audiences dislike certain media and explores the significance of this dislike in media culture, taste, identity, representation, meaning, textuality, audiences, and citizenship. It challenges the notion that dislike is solely snobbery and presents a bold case for a new line of audience research in communication, media, and cultural studies.
Format: Hardback
Length: 288 pages
Publication date: 22 June 2021
Publisher: New York University Press
The study and analysis of media are rife with discussions about fans, lovers, stans, likes, and favorites, but what about dislikes, distastes, and alienation? Dislike-Minded delves into over two hundred qualitative interviews to explore what the media's failures, wounds, and sore spots reveal about media culture, taste, identity, representation, meaning, textuality, audiences, and citizenship. The book challenges the simplistic notion proposed by Pierre Bourdieu that dislike is merely snobbery. Instead, Jonathan Gray proceeds to uncover other explanations for why we dislike specific artifacts of television, film, and other media, and why this dislike holds significance. As we watch and listen with gritted teeth, Dislike-Minded attentively listens to the discourse and presents a compelling argument for a new line of audience research within communication, media, and cultural studies.
