Fiske Articles

In his article about the Notting Hill picture, Fiske asserts that, "meanings are never just textual; they are always socio-political." Think about examples. Do you agree with this bold statement?

In his articles, Fiske uses the term "intersubjectivity" multiple times, but never clearly defines what he means by it. Using the context of when he uses it and other clues, what do you think he means by this word?

The prevalence of many of the myths that Fiske talks about are fading from our collective consensus. What myths in popular modern culture have seen their social and historical origin "naturalized" so that they seem like the "way things are" or "should be" instead of the way they are portrayed?

How do these myths serve the agenda of a dominant class?
