Theoretical frameworks for representation

Theoretical frameworks for representation explore how ideas, identities, or interests are depicted or embodied in society, politics, or media. They analyze who or what gets to stand for others, how these representations shape perceptions, and their impact on groups and culture. For example, some frameworks examine whether minorities are accurately and fairly portrayed in media, influencing public attitudes. Others look at political representation, assessing if elected officials truly reflect the diversity of the population. Overall, these frameworks help us understand the power and significance of representation in shaping societal understanding and equality.
