Teenagers & Stereotypes
A case study
Richard Dyer - 1979
 Many of the debates and critical approaches to
representation focus upon stereotypes, which, according to
Dyer (1979), involve a number of processes:
 The complexity and variety of a group is reduced to few
characteristics
 An exaggerated version of these characteristics is applied to
everyone in the group as if they are an essential element of all
members of the social group
 These characteristics are represented in the media through
media language
Stereotyping  theoretical perspective
 Stereotyping can be seen to exaggerate difference and in
doing so may increase antagonisms between
groups .
 A problem with the medias use of stereotypes is its
selectivity , as it conveys values and assumptions that may
help construct the audiences perception of the world and
consequently their behaviour.
 It is important to note that the media does not invent
stereotypes, but by repeatedly using them, media can be
accused of reinforcing certain values and assumptions.
Stereotyping  theoretical perspective
 It can be argued that it is not the medias use of stereotypes
that is problematic but the audiences assumption
that this representation can be applied to all
members of a particular group .
Stereotyping  theoretical perspective
 Consider how the stereotypes are constructed with
reference to
 clothing
 body language or mannerisms
 d辿cor of habitat
 location
 accent or language
 music
 Relationships
 lifestyle.
Stereotyping  theoretical perspective
