Representation
Representation refers to the construction in any medium
(especially the mass media) of aspects of ‘reality’ such as people, places,
objects, events, cultural identities and other abstract concepts.
Class, Age, Gender and Ethnicity (the 'cage' of identity) -
representation involves not only how identities are represented (or rather
constructed) within the text but also how they are constructed in the processes
of production.
Representation
In The Media
Media texts are re-presentations of reality. This means that
they are intentionally composed, lit, written, framed, cropped, captioned and censored
by their producers. Every media form is a representation of someone's concept
of existence.
