TV: Capital - Marxism and Hegemony


Re-read the Mail Online review of Capital. Why does it suggest that Capital features a left-wing ideology?

They feature a left wing ideology through the ways that they portray their characters for example they portra they portray the people who are being seen as immigrates by some people as very genuine and polite people as shown in numerous scenes they seem to care more about other than they care about themselves. However the rodger family seem to be a bit greedy and care about money only they fail to see the positive parts of things.
Choose three quotes from the review that are particularly critical of Capital and paste them into your blogpost. Do you agree with the criticisms? Why?

 2) But by the finish we were left staring at the proverbial damp squib. 
I agree with this because we were left very confused at the end for example we weren't really sure about what was going to happen in the next episode for example rogers wife left him with the children and the lady was about to be deported.

"Everything British came in for a dose of loathing. When investment banker Roger muttered something self-deprecating, one of the immigrant characters snarled, with real anger: ‘Ah! The Great British understatement!’

I personally agree with this statement because it speaks about the two different parts in this show it speaks about rodger and it speaks about the immigrants as well it speaks about life in the real world.

1)But that concept went nowhere. The residents were bemused, but not scared.

I agree with this to some extent because it was getting hard to follow the plot at some points of the show and it wasnt really engaging in many of its story lines for example they spoke about the photographs but they never really explained anything about them.  

What scenes or characters from Capital could be read as promoting left-wing ideology?

 One scene from the show that supports left wing ideology was when the brother was taking down the posters of the naked women this shows that he is very serious about his religious and believes in it strongly.

Media Magazine feature on BBC drama The Casual Vacancy and ideology

Now go to our Media Magazine archive and read the feature 'The Beeb, The Mail and JKR' in MM53 (page 20). This focuses on the politics of The Casual Vacancy, another BBC three-part drama based on a book by JK Rowling.

 


Answer the questions below:

Why did the Daily Mail suggest The Casual Vacancy promoted a left-wing ideology?

It shows greedy people who only care for themselves as they try and make more money they do this through selling property.

 How does the article suggest characters, narrative and setting are used to promote a left-wing ideology?

 The article says characters promote left wing ideology because of the way that they are acting out for example their actions of selling food bank in society

Radio: Life Hacks Our first CSP for radio is the BBC Radio 1 show  Life Hacks . Our key concepts for Radio are industries and audience so these are the contexts we need to consider when studying the texts. Previously on: The Surgery Before being merged into Life Hacks, The Surgery was an evening radio show on BBC Radio 1 that ran between 1999 and 2017. Most recently, it was on every Wednesday at 9pm and ran for 60 minutes. It featured presenter Katie Thistleton and advice from Dr Radha Modgil. It worked like an agony aunt column in old teenage magazines and took on controversial subjects such as gender identity, sexuality, relationships and mental health.
