stuart hall - reception theory

states that all texts are polysemic (can have multiple meanings)

texts can be read in different ways depending on the audience

can be read in 3 different ways

1. preferred reading
- audience responds the way the media producers want them to


2 negotiated reading
- the audience partly agrees withe the message but may disagree


3. oppositional reading
- completely disagrees
