Abstract Details

2012, Master of Education, University of Toledo, Education Theory and Social Foundations.
The intersection of culture, ideology, power, identity, and violence are explored and interrogated through the lens of media literacy in this study. A transdisciplinary framework is developed for the purpose of an ideological analysis of violent media and employed in a case study of the Grand Theft Auto IV video game. The ubiquity of media and the representation and reproduction of ideologies inconsistent with the democratic ethics is a necessary site for education. Popular/mass culture and its meanings have implications for media literacy as response/resistance to a culture of violence within the traditions of democratic education, social reconstructionism, and peace education.
