Style
From The Art and Popular Culture Encyclopedia
|
"Maps of meaning [in society] are charged with a potentially explosive significance because they are traced and retraced along the lines laid down by the dominant discourses about reality, the dominant ideologies. Thus they tend to represent, in however obscure and contradictory a fashion, the interests of the dominant groups in society." --Subculture: The Meaning of Style (1979) by Dick Hebdige, p. 15 |
