Made In Dagenham - Marxist View

Set in 1968, made it 2011

(p110, OCR Media Studies Julian McDougall)
Karl Marx
 -people that rule society do so through means of production and production of ideas. 

-eg. Monarchy. We don't throw them out because the hierarchy believe in tradition 

Gramsei 
-developed the idea of hegemony
-Ford is this controlling organisation, outraged when the women stand up (the men of the world, ie. Husband, don't support her at first)
-The reason why these women were s dangerous to society and large businesses was because they were upturning the ideas of how women were rewarded and treated in the times

Anthony Giddens
-(hegemonies)
-believes that the powers at be shape society BUT so do the people, so individuals can create and change themselves. 
-the media does help to construct our identities (and isn't a true reflection of real life) 
-"create an identity then change it or keep it"
-"What to do? How to act? Who to be?"
-(ideas link closely to Judith Butler)
