Abstract
Since the early 1980s, the paradigm of resistance (which emerges from a particular reading of Gramsci's theory of hegemony) has enjoyed widespread popularity in the field of media studies. Arguing for understanding media studies as a field in Pierre Bourdieu's sense of the term, this article explores the analytical and political limits of this paradigm, and, by extension, the intellectual vision that proceeds from it.Keywords
