but the threat they bring to artistic culture. From his opening mockery of the literary establishment’s tendency to theorize the world in terms of desire or gender to his disapproval of those who venerate art while denying its validity in the same breath, Jonathan Dollimore has created an easily understood, albeit at times too theoretical, synthesis of the literary and the experiential in Sex, Literature and Censorship. His arguments on critical theory do not necessarily reject the concept of theory; rather, he argues that critical theorists should strive to understand the contradictions within our lives and our literature and explore the daemonic power of the subjects that offend our sense of tradition.

The ethnographic imagination

This article considers the place of the ‘everyday’ and ‘practice’ in media ethnography and audience research in cultural and media studies as well as this tradition’s relationship to textual analysis. Drawing on an auto-ethnographic study of the author’s family, the research considers the way in which they made meanings with the preschool children’s television programme Teletubbies. The analysis considers how television viewing is regulated discursively across a number of different sites that constitute ‘parenthood’. In this respect, Pierre Bourdieu’s concept of ‘habitus’ is developed to account for the ways in which the textual and discursive address articulates with, develops and reproduces the family’s childcare practices. The research also presents a method of analysis that explores the micro-example to ‘write singularity’ and suggests the benefits of exploring the ways in which meanings are made beyond the moment of reception. As such, a case is made for the need to move beyond conceptualizations of ...

Beyond the audience Teletubbies, play and parenthood

BBC children's television, parentcraft and pedagogy: towards the `ethicalization of existence':

The political economy of the cultural industries has historically exploited ancillary markets by merchandising toys based on textual characters. This paper engages in the proliferation of these trends in the area of children's media production by arguing that meaning-making in very young children's media cultures is increasingly generated across intertextual formations that will include plush toys. By drawing on auto-ethnographic materials of children's meaning-making with television, books and such “teddy bears”, it is argued that meaning-making in this context might be best conceptualised in terms of play practices that are both global in their economic scope and singular in their location in everyday life. Accordingly, the social semiotic conceptualisation of “meaning potential” is expanded to include an upper level and a lower level of significance: the lower as the semiotic affordances and organisation of the texts and toys as a semiotic system, the upper as the way in which its realisation in texts ...
