Written especially for undergraduate students, Representation
synthesises and updates our understandings of representation - and
the tools for its analysis - for use in the new mediascape. Jenny
Kidd uses an engaging range of current examples and a lively style
to explore a number of key questions reflecting existing and
contemporary debates about representation. These key questions
include: Who 'owns' and manages representations? Whose realities
are foregrounded, and whose are consigned to invisibility? To what
extent are increased opportunities for self-representation altering
the landscape? And what happens to representation within the noisy,
playful and often subversive communications of the Internet? Kidd
considers the political, social and cultural importance of
representation across a broad spectrum of cultural and creative
industries. This examination of the relationship between
media/cultural representations and the construction of reality,
identity and society makes it an ideal text for students that need
to get to grips with this core thematic of media and cultural
studies.
