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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe study and analysis of media are rife with discussions about fans, lovers, stans, likes, and favorites, but what about dislikes, distastes, and alienation?
