What is defining ideology?
Show answer
In media study, ideology is rarely stated outright. It is naturalised, that is, made to seem obvious and unremarkable, through repeated representations. When a narrative consistently rewards individual ambition, or frames a particular group as a threat, it is communicating ideology whether or not the creators intended it.
