What is representations as a key concept?Show answer
A representation is a constructed version of reality presented through moving-image media. The concept rests on a core idea: media re-present the world rather than simply showing it. Because every representation involves choices, no representation is neutral. Analysing representation means analysing those choices and their effects.
What is point of view?Show answer

What are institutions?Show answer
