Download or read book Reading the Homeless written by Eungjun Min and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 1999-06-30 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As one of our country's major social problems, homelessness is often in the news. The media tend to portray the homeless as drunk, stoned, crazy, or sick individuals—a portrayal that is only partly accurate and represents an obstacle to our understanding of the wider social implications of this complex issue. This edited collection examines the various ways—both verbal and visual—in which the homeless have been portrayed by the media from the 1980s to the present day. The contributors apply different frameworks, ranging from phenomenology to culture studies, to analyze the characteristics, implications, and consequences of the stories and images disseminated by the media.
