Key Theorists
Andrew Higson (1998) writes: 'identity is generally understood to be the shared identity of naturalised inhabitants of a particular political-geographic space - this can be a particular nation or region'
Benedict Anderson (1963) pens: Maintains that the media play a vital role in constructing a national/regional identity as in reality the nation is too big for everyone to know each other yet they often have shared values; The unification of people in the modern world is achieved not by military but by cultural means, in particular the media system enables people (of a nation or a region) to feel part of the continent, meaningful and homogenous community'
Higson: "Stereotypes is a form of shortland... a way of establishing a character... that often reducing the character to the most basic form so that the stereotype often becomes comic.
Higson: (1998): "No wonder then that a particular characterisation may be criticised for being stereotypical meaning it lacks a realistic dimension, it fails to match up to the reality of identity."
