Abstract
The article diagnoses the chronic ignorance of media audiences and their cultures in post-socialist media studies in CEE and connects it to the regionally specific “tyranny” of structuralism. The question why structuralist analysis was not complemented by a more culturalist view of media audiences in the outbreak of CEE media studies will always be speculation.
Nevertheless, the prevalence of structuralism can be interpreted as akin to neoliberal hegemony.
