eds.) Gordon Lynch, Jolyon Mitchell and Anna Strhan (2012) Religion, Media and Culture: A Reader. London: Routledge. Here you will find a complete list of the nineteen theories and theorists that you have to know for the A-level media exam. Remember that these are not the only theories or theorist out there, and you may refer to other concepts. Also please keep in mind that very few of these theorists ‘invented’ their concept, and all of them explored many more aspects than just the things we have studied. Awan, A. (2007) “Virtual Jihadist Media: Function, Legitimacy and Radicalizing Efficacy,” Journal of European Cultural Studies, 10: 389-408.As several critical authors have explained, such a data transition in social policy is not without risks. Virginia Eubanks ( Reference Eubanks2018), for instance, describes many cases of careless automation and datafication in the social policy of U.S. states that left millions of people wrongly accused of fraud and deprived of their benefits. Data technologies and algorithms, she concludes on the basis of years of extensive interviews and observations, have created a “digital poorhouse,” in which already disadvantaged groups are subject to more control and surveillance than ever before. Other authors, too, have pointed at the “surveillance assemblages” that increasingly determine social policy and welfare decisions (e.g., Maki, Reference Maki2011; Pleace, Reference Pleace2007), and more generally at badly designed algorithms privileging certain groups of people and discriminating others (e.g., Wachter-Boettcher, Reference Wachter-Boettcher2017). Alston ( Reference Alston2019, p. 1) rapporteur on extreme poverty to the United Nations (UN) strongly warns that the “digital welfare state” should move away from “obsessing about fraud, cost savings, sanctions, and market-driven definitions of efficiency” if it does not want become a dystopia of control and punishment. Although, as van Zoonen notes, the media have played a central role in feminist critique, questions of gender are scarce in the mass communication literature and feminist media studies remain marginalized.
