Representations introduction
This document discusses representations and how they can take various forms to depict individuals, social groups, institutions, ideas, events, and issues. It provides examples of how a red rose can represent love and how Barack Obama is represented differently in pictures from American and British media. Representations are described as re-presenting people, places, and concepts through selection and construction. The document suggests analyzing how females are represented in historical advertisements and media by considering questions like who made it, its purpose, and who benefits from the representation.
