When watching Stuart Hall’s “Representation and the Media” video clip, I got confused at first. I tried to focus in on what his explanation about the representation meant to him, but I got distracted with the flying videos in the background. It distracted me to the point where I had to re watch the video again. Finally after watching it for the second time, I had a better understanding of what the word representation meant to me.
The word representation is a presentation to the mind of a picture or an idea. It explains the signs that stand in for and take the place of. In a way representation is a form or a tool for the media. It stands among the true and the viewer because of its ability to be imitative or reproduced.
In Hall’s video he talks about the politics of representation approach or the channels through which meaning production occurs. He believes that objects, people, and so on do not have true meanings and that the meanings are just shaped by human beings in addition to our society being part of the reason as well.
