Considering representations

Representations are...


Representations are not 'real'

Representations are a reconstruction of reality

Representations reflect the ideology of the producer

Representations reflect the dominant ideology of our society

Representations are a way in which those who are in power maintain their power

Writing about representation

1- Which group is being represented?


2 - How does media language construct this group?


3 - What message is being presented about this group?


4 - In what way might this impact the group being represented?
