Reduction of Representation

Representation - construction of ‘reality’ (people, places, objects, events, cultural identities and other abstract concepts).

Similarly to key markers of identity, representation isn’t only how identities are represented within the text but also how they are constructed in production and reception by people whose identities are relatable.


Media form is a representation of concept of existence which can be read by an audience. Without the media, perception of reality would be limited. We need media to make sense of reality. Representation is a two-way process: producers position a text in relation to reality,audiences assess texts on relationship to reality.
