  • 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
