F Parkin Radical System Explanations Roland Barthes’s Anchorage and Relay ‘Anchorage’ is a process of applying text in sort of a label type of way to an image. So the text fixes the meaning of an image. Think of an anchor holding the meaning1. ‘Relay’ is the reciprocal relation between text and picture or between a picture and another in that each contributes its own part of the overall message. Barthes used the term relay to describe text/image relationship which was ‘complementary’ instancing cartoons, comic strips and narrative films2.The principal function of anchorage is ideological: the text directs the reader through the signifieds of the image (towards a meaning chosen in advance). In RELAY the text and the image are in a complementary relationship3. Stuart Hall Hall claims that reader of media text can identify ideology from three different position or reading. Preferred Reading/Dominant Position- This is seen when audiences respond to product the way media producers want/expect them to means reader interpret and decode the message exactly the way it was encoded.Negotiated Reading/Position- When a member of the audience partly agrees with part of the product is known as Negotiated Reading means this position is a mixture of accepting and rejecting ideologies in the text. For example- Film, documentary, TV programmes.Oppositional Reading/position- This is when the audience are in complete disagreement with the product’s or setting means reader understand the literal meaning but form their own ideological interpretations. The reader’s beliefs are directly oppositional in relation to the dominant code and although they understand the intended meaning, they do not share the text ideology4.
