American Revolution

This front cover taken from the Rolling Stone magazine in 1969, was one that I used for a Media Histories presentation. The annotation surrounding the image shows how my original analysis developed and triggered various bits of knowledge relating to media theory and historical contexts.

I felt that this issue representing the American Revolution, conveyed both important and controversial messages about American society of the 1960's era.

Various representations, stereotypes and ideologies can be identified from both the image and my deconstruction of the cover, which influenced the audiences’ interpretations both in the past and, in the present.
