Cultural Representations

Cultural representations refer to the ways in which societies and groups depict their identities, values, beliefs, and stories through various forms like art, media, language, and traditions. These representations shape how people see themselves and others, influencing perceptions and interactions. They can reflect, reinforce, or challenge social norms and stereotypes. Essentially, cultural representations are the symbols and narratives that convey a community’s way of life, helping to communicate shared meanings and maintain cultural continuity or provoke discussion and change.
