APPROACHING REPRESENTATION

Representation is concerned with the way that people, ideas and events are presentedto us through media texts. It is a process of construction, actively constructing

meanings about the world and re-presenting them.

In our investigation of both widely circulated media texts and other alternativerepresentations it will be useful to ask the questions posed by Richard Dyer whenconsidering representation in popular television:

• What sense of the world is the media text making? • What does it claim is typical of the world and what deviant? • Who is really speaking? For whom?• What does it represent to us and why?

Try and work with both sets of media codes

! technical (camera, editing, sound)

! and cultural (dress, setting, body, props)

The key concept of Representation is a way of studying stereotyping and bias and a way of investigating who is represented (age, gender, class, region, ethnicity, sexuality) andhow they are represented (technical and cultural codes). It is concerned with the way thatpeople, ideas and events are presented to us through media texts in a process of construction which actively constructs meanings about the world and re-presentsthem.

REPRESENTATIONMedia re-present social groups such as gender, race, class groups, occupational groups. Nomedia representation can be 'neutral'. Representations are shaped by genre, audience,institutional context, dominant ideologies in society.

The process of mediation [representing the 'real' world on film or television or in anewspaper or magazine] involves a process which means representations always carrymeanings and values [choice of shot or camera angle; use of mise-en-scene, costumes,setting lighting; use of sound and dialogue, role in the narrative...]

Some critics, like Stuart Price, would argue that representations reinforce dominantideologies in society:

'If gender differences are socially constructed, and society itself is based on unequalrelations of power, then we can see why many writers argue that mainstreamrepresentations will be biased against subordinate groups. Dominant ideology issupposedly used to keep the downtrodden in their place... Ideologies of gender promote sexist representations of women... ideologies make equalities andsubordination appear natural.'

Other critics would argue that representations in the media can challenge and subvertdominant ideologies in society.

ANALYSING REPRESENTATIONS

Who are the representations aimed at? Are they aspirational images for theaudience?

Who is creating the representation [institutional context, director/auteur] and why?

What is the institutional / production context and what constraints does this involve[budget, studio/production company, genre]

Are there genre restraints on the representation – eg women must appear differentlyin horror and musicals.

How are representations affected by social/historic context [key events,

contemporary social values, changes in society, ideological context]

REPRESENTATION and STEREOTYPES

When we talk about people being stereotyped by the media we mean that an assumption hasbeen made that people are the same as each other, rather than different.

! Stereotypical images come complete with value-judgements and a personal opinion.

! Stereotyped images / language are used by society and the media as a kind of cultural short cut.

! Stereotyping is an invitation to accept a general and limited picture of a group.

! When employing stereotypes, mainstream media producers assume that theaudiences' attitudes and values are those of the mainstream.

! Stereotyping is part of the naturalisation of what are commonly held attitudes andvalues.

'Stereotypes are not one-dimensional distortions of reality. In order to gain credibility andwidespread cultural currency, they usually contain an element of truth... The mostpowerful stereotypes tend to be rooted in a degree of reality which is then naturalisedrather than questioned in order to pass judgement about the inevitability of such a situationor behaviour... The danger is little attention is paid to the function of the stereotype withinthe narrative. Is the audience invited to denigrate, laugh at the character.’ B.Dutton,

STEREOTYPESThe idea of stereotypes was defined by Walter Lippman in 1922 - in 'A Matter of Images'Richard Dyer described four functions of Lippman's definition, which are:

an ordering process;...stereotypes serve to order our reality in an easy-to-understand form, and are an essentialpart of making sense of the world and society. The fact that stereotypes offer an incompleteview of the world does not necessarily make them false; there is anyway no such thing as acomplete view of the world. Having stereotypical knowledge may be better than having noknowledge at all.

a short 'cut';Because they are simplifications stereotypes act as 'short cuts' to meaning. We cancharacterise New York in a dozen words which will be sufficient for most purposes... thewords 'macho man' are a short cut to a more complex set of assu mptions that reflect society'svalues.

a way of referring to the worldThey are social constructs and as such are a type of re-presentation. Stereotypes are mostoften used by individuals about people, or peoples, they do not know. It follows, then that theymust have received this information from others, especially the media. Stereotypes serve tonaturalise the power relations in society; they have a hegemonic function, so the factthat women are often stereotypes as subservient to men legitimises their inferior position.Stereotypes are not true or false bur reflect a particular set of ideological values.

an expression of 'our" values and beliefs.Much of the power of stereotypes exists because they appear to have the status of consensus. What stereotypes represent, however, are not the beliefs based upon reality butideas which reflect the distribution of power in society - stereotypes are not an expression of value but of ideology.

StereotypesThe concept of stereotype, as a kind or 'blinkered' mental attitude, is a notion imported intomedia study from psychology. Stereotypes frequently attempt to validate certain roles andbehaviour. Far from being necessarily negative (though many are) they often present us withpositive models of behaviour to emulate. The 'housewife' stereotype, common in TVprogrammes, films, magazines, news stories, and especially favoured by advertisers, is a rolewomen are invited to copy and men to reinforce. But both stereotypes and labels reflectpower relations in the wider society and both exist as powerful forces in the real world as wellas being reinforced through the media.

The psychological view of the stereotype The early interest of psychologists in stereotypes formed part of a broader concern with theorigins of attitudes. They were interested in how attitudes changed and why some seemedmore resistant to change than others. The stereotype was seen as an exceptional type of attitude - one that was particularly difficult to change. Thus the study of stereotype wasclosely linked to the notion of prejudice.

Prejudice implies an attitude that pre-judges reality and that is based not on experience buton some firmly fixed belief or dogma. The stereotype became a simple, negative andinaccurate image; it was seen as a rigid and unchanging attitude that was locked within theindividual. Stereotypes were characteristically seen as expressions of hostility towardsparticular minority groups such as 'blacks' or 'Jews'. Stereotyped views were thought to beheld by individuals who had little direct and personal experience of such groups.

The sociological view of stereotypesSociologists ask, who benefits from the stereotyping of certain groups? Ideas and beliefs thatare 'useful' in this way to those who hold them are what sociologists call ideologies —'convenient' ideas that benefit some groups at the expense of others.

TASK 5

Choose a current 'Pop' band with 4-5 same sex members.

Identify the group members and using images from

magazines/the internet etc show how each band member

has a constructed 'identity' or stereotype

The four parts of a media stereotype

With any group of people, there will obviously be an enormous number of things that can beused in a stereotype, but because stereotyping is a form of simplification, normally themost obvious things are used. These are;

1. Appearance- this can include, physical appearance and clothing as wellas the sound of the voice, e.g. "all teachers wear dreadful old clothes"

2. Behaviour - typical things that people in this group might do. "Grannies liketo knit"

3. The third feature of media stereotyping is peculiar to the media: thestereotype is constructed in ways that fit the particular medium. - This ismore difficult to understand but it is crucial for you to look for it. If you watch afilm such as Hannibal or Se7en and then look at the tabloid coverage of Fred

West or Myra Hindley, you are seeing the same stereotype (the typical SerialKiller) being used, but there are obviously big differences which will dependon the specifics of the media used:

The film will use close ups of the killer's leering face, soundtrack music and reaction shots of terrified victims to create their version of the stereotype.The newspaper will use emotive headlines, blurred pictures of victims and police mug-shotsof the killer along with shocking text and interviews with survivors.In each case a text will create a stereotype which an audience will find familiar, but will do it invery different ways.

4. There will always be a comparison whether real or imaginary with"normal" behaviour.

The features of a stereotype are always those which seem somehow different from everyday

behaviour. In fact you could almost start any stereotyped description by saying: "this groupare different because they......."

Stereotypes and Genres.

Obviously, in the Media, there is an even greater need to use stereotypes in whatever medium, as there are always such limited time constraints. The worst offenders, and themediums that offer the best opportunity for fair representation, are listed below:

Medium Average Length Typical Features.

TV Advert 30secs Short narrative and quick idea.

Tabloid Scanned read of 1 minute Sensationalist

Sitcom 30 minutes Characters cannot change much,nor can situation.

Magazine Scanned read of 1-2 minutes Mix of eye catching and informed

Film 1 hour 45 minutes. Needs to establish set of characters and narrative

direction.

Broadsheet Read fairly carefully – 5 minutes. More in depth analysis

Soap Ongoing 30 min episodes. Often characters change v slowly

Drama Serial Perhaps 3 – 8, 45 min episodes. Room for substantial changeover a more leisurely time scale

RETHINKING STEREOTYPES (Tessa Perkins)

Tessa Perkins (1979) argues that stereotypes, although simple in form, are in fact

compressed and shorthand ways of referring to quite complex social relationships. She statesthat:

1. Stereotypes are always erroneous in content;2. They are about groups with whom we have little or no social contact; by implication,

therefore, they are not held about one's own group;3. They are about minority (or oppressed) groups;4. They are simple;5. They are ridged and do not change;6. They are often based on a degree of historical and social truth.

Thus the 'dumb blonde' stereotype portrayed in many films refers to the subordinateposition of women in western societies and in that sense is quite accurate. Womentypically do find themselves in roles that are seen as less intellectually demanding.

Women are often defined in terms of their physical attractiveness to men. But, asRichard Dyer (1977) argues, the stereotype goes further to suggest that such differences areinborn — they imply 'natural' differences between the sexes. It suggests, or reinforces, theview that women's social position is caused by differences in their aptitude and ability. Indoing so it conceals the possibility that such differences may be the effect of their inferior position in a male dominated society.

Gaye Tuchman.

Summarizing television content analyses over a twenty-year period Tuchman showsthat images of men outnumber those of women by two to one. If a working person isportrayed it is almost always a male image and those working women that are depictedare shown to be incompetent and inferior to male workers:

'men are doctors, women, nurses; men are lawyers, women secretaries; men

work in corporations, women tend boutiques' (Tuchman 1981).Two thirds of the images of women shown on the screen are of women who have been,are, or are about to be, married. But the typical male image is of a single person.

These findings are rather crude measures of sex stereotyping in the media. They cannotcatch the subtler points or the range of stereotypes of gender. There is not, for instance, onesingle stereotype of women but many: the 'mother-in-law', the 'secretary', the 'call-girl', etc.

Another danger of such content analyses is that they encourage an approach which viewsimages and stereotypes as divorced from their wider social, political, and ideological contexts.Tuchman's own discussion of stereotypes in women's magazines shows that stereotypesare not static, they respond to changes in the actual position of women in society. Thus, in response to the growing women's movement and the increase in femaleemployment, American women's magazines directed at working-class women displayed a

more optimistic attitude towards the possibility of combining work and family responsibilitiesthan did their predecessors, although a dominant ideology of femininity prevailed.

MISFITS ACTIVITY

MISFITS – E4! http://www.e4.com/misfits/

Can you ‘stereotype’ these characters? They are all dressed the same yet theprogramme makers manage to create completely separate ‘personalities’ for each – some questions you should ask are:

1. Are they deliberately dressed the same to make a point?2. Although they are the same, how have the programme makers gone

about creating individual identities for each character?3. To what extent is each character a stereotype?

PERSONAL TV SHOW ACTIVITY

Choose a programme of your own (one you watch regularly) and copy andcomplete the following chart:

Character Name &Image

Description of Character and relationships
