Representation: Cultural Representations and Signifying PracticesStuart Hall SAGE Publications, 8 apr 1997 - 400 pagina's This broad-ranging text offers a comprehensive treatment of how visual images, language and discourse work as 'systems of representation'. Individual chapters explain a variety of approaches to representation, bringing to bear concepts from semiotic, discursive, psychoanalytic, anthropological, sociological, feminist, art-historical and Foucauldian models of representation. They explore representation as a signifying practice in a rich diversity of social contexts and institutional sites: the use of photography in the construction of national identity and culture; the poetics and politics of exhibiting other cultures in ethnographic museums; fantasies of 'the racialized Other' in popular media, film and image; the construction of masculine identities in discourses of consumer culture and advertising; the gendering of narratives in television soap operas. |
