ABSTRACT
Indeed, media culture reproduces existing social struggles and discourses, articulating the fears and sufferings of ordinary people, while providing material to produce identities and make sense of the world. When members of oppressed groups gain access to media culture, their representations often articulate alternative visions of society and give voice to more radical perceptions. Yet a diagnostic critique is also interested in the limitations of these works in order to advance the interests of the oppressed in future struggles.2
