What are counter representations?Show answer
A counter representation is one that deliberately opposes the dominant version, offering a fuller, fairer or simply different portrayal. A counter representation gains its meaning from the dominant one it pushes against; the audience reads it in contrast to what they expected. Because of this, evaluating a challenge always means first establishing the dominant representation it answers.
