Description

The Audience Studies Reader assembles essential writings on reception and interpretation, reviving overlooked scholarship whilst integrating established essays with contemporary research. This chronologically and thematically structured collection begins with a comprehensive introduction, then places each extract within its historical context using specially written section prefaces and curated reading suggestions. The book traces the paradigm shift from 'effects' models to 'uses and gratifications' theory, examines moral panic and censorship debates, explores active audience theory and reading as resistance, and charts evolving screen theory approaches. Ideal for scholars, students, and researchers investigating how audiences engage with media, interpret content, and construct meaning, this reader provides both historical perspective and current scholarship in audience studies.

Key Features

The Audience Studies Reader combines seminal essays with newly researched material, offering comprehensive coverage of reception and interpretation studies from Routledge.

Each extract is contextualised with specially written section prefaces and suggestions for further reading, helping readers understand the historical significance of each contribution.

The collection is organised chronologically and thematically, covering the shift from effects theory to uses and gratifications, moral panic, active audience theory, and screen theory evolution.

This reader includes forgotten and overlooked pieces alongside key essays, providing a balanced survey of audience studies scholarship across multiple decades.

Ideal for university courses and independent research, the book serves scholars studying media reception, cultural interpretation, and audience behaviour.
