Audience-citizens : the media, public knowledge and interpretive practice /

This book explores how sociological and cultural factors affect interpretations of mediated knowledge. Using concepts from contemporary hermeneutics - in particular Gadamer - it examines the notion that understanding is irretrievably linked to the interpreter's socio-cultural positioning.
