Abstract

This study examined the images of music teachers represented in Hollywood films. This study is qualitative content analysis research that analyzes the image of teachers recreated in movies in as a part of cultural studies. Cultural studies is an academic field of critical theory and literary criticism initially introduced by British academics in 1964 and subsequently adopted by allied academics throughout the world. Characteristically interdisciplinary, cultural studies is an academic discipline aiding cultural researchers who theorize about the forces from which the whole of humankind construct their daily lives. Cultural Studies is not a unified theory, but a diverse field of study encompassing many different approaches, methods and academic perspectives. Distinct from the breadth, objective and methodology of cultural anthropology and ethnic studies, cultural studies is focussed upon the political dynamics of contemporary culture and its historical foundations, conflicts and defining traits. Researchers concentrate on how a particular medium or message relates to ideology, social class, nationality, ethnicity, sexuality and/or gender, rather than providing an encyclopedic identification, categorization or definition of a particular culture or area of the world. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to analyze the image of music teachers recreated in the movies produced in Hollywood. Movies reflect the culture of the time. The image of teachers expected by the public and recreated in movies are different from the reality. Therefore, it needs to recognize the image of recreated teachers in the movies and real teachers, with critical perspective. Also, teachers need to recognize the expectation of the public and satisfy it, to make one's position resolute.
