Representation and Construction of Representation

Representation means that all media and text are re-presented of reality. They are intentially composed and entirely artifical versions of reality.

An example of Representation is the Tv drama Skins
this is a real life concept of teenagers but over exaggerated. 

Constriction of Representation is:
  • Someones perception of real life  
  • Someones view on a social group 
  • reconstructed to fit the scenario around the story 
  • reality reconstructed  to fit narrative 
  • Exaggerated/dramatists reality 
  • Interpretation of reality 
  • ideology (views opinion and belief) 
  • what isnt shown - Heterosexual 
  • contextual (time and place)
  • social and cultural beliefs 
  • stereotypes
