- Levi-Strauss' Binary Oppositions
- suggests that within the narrative structure of any media text exists a series of conflicts, or binary oppositions
- these help to drive a narrative forward, and to establish and emphasise meanings
- these conflicts are commonly related to a balance of power but can often be motivated by any number of factors
- e.g. ideological differences, gender, race, age, wealth
- some classic binary oppositions are;
- good vs evil
- man vs woman
- white vs black
- young vs old
- hero vs villain
- suggests that within the narrative structure of any media text exists a series of conflicts, or binary oppositions
