Reception studies derive primarily from the application of literary theories of textual interpretation to the everyday interpretive activities of mass media audiences. Challenging the assumption that the meaning‐making processes by readers apply only to high culture, not popular culture, advocates of reception studies argue that media texts (of all kinds – press, television, film, games, social media, other online) must also be made sense of by their audiences. Since its inception, reception studies has mapped out a theoretical and empirical program of research on the “active audience” for mass media, establishing an influential strand of audience research, together with a series of innovations in both theory and methodology. It offers a critique of the ways in which, ever since the advent of mass media over a century ago, the major theories of the audience have constructed an image of the audience as homogeneous, vulnerable, and easily manipulated in the face of a powerful and all‐pervasive digital media.
