Document Summary
Fredric jameson"s suggested term for a reformulated vision of the sublime focused on technology rather than nature. Kant defined nature as sublime because it consistently exceeds the capacity of human concepts to grasp either its particularity or its generality. In media studies, theories of identification refer to representations and their cultural consequences. In identifying with characters in a text, audiences are thought to take on represented roles or social positions. A good example of this line of analysis is mulvey"s analysis of the male gaze, which argues that cinema uses conventions that invite identification with male characters, while objectifying females. A marxist concept designating a type of labour that produces a nonmaterial good such as a cultural product, communication, information, or knowledge. The theory that various forms of discrimination centred on race, gender, class, disability, sexuality, and other forms of identity, do not work independently but interact to produce particularized forms of social oppression.
