In Europe and the United States (in parallel, but for rea-
sons of a different kind) there has also been a convergent
movement of research in recent years under the labels of
‘reception analysis’ and ‘the ethnography of the audience’.
Like the work of those active in Latin America, the recent
spate of audience studies has offered a line of inquiry into
how media are variously interpreted by those who consume
them. Thus, by virtue of a critique of established positions
within his own continent’s frame of reference, Martín-
Barbero’s book works its way towards intellectual ground
very familiar to those in the Anglophone world. There are
many students of the field, therefore, who will easily recog-
nize exactly what he is saying, and why.
