Representation I

Representation and Framing

Representation

Meaning and language are connected to culture

-Figuring out and understanding how meaning and language are connected

Making claims

-Aren’t always accurate or realistic

The ‘what’ of texts

The broad, what’s being described, the basic summary of something

Examples: Chapter 4 of textbook

-historical theories

How Facebook Changed the World: The Arab Spring

-socio political unrest/tension in Egypt and Tunisia

Framing

Focuses on organization

The ‘how’ of texts
-how are representations organized

Boundaries and limits

-think literally about cropping a Facebook pic

Examples: Chapter 4 of textbook

-is it educational, frames production of pop culture in either economic or cultural world

How Facebook Changed the World: The Arab Spring

The title frames it, eyes of citizens (perspective) is how they framed the situation

Both representation and framing rely on ideology
-personal subjectives/claims
-ex. chapter 3 case study on youth, framed as being criminals/threat/risky/dangerous/monitored by penocticon

News Values (Knight, 2004)
-values, shaping the way we interpret or understand

Immediacy

-what can be predicted/the twitterverse says
-news has competition, how news is framed
-consequences on how quick if mistaken

Example: Chilean Miners Rescue

-speculation on duration time and how to rescue details were inaccurate

Personalization

-reports and stories draw us in to things we like/feelings/emotions/experiences
-taps into sense of self

Example 2: Chilean Miners Rescue

-bringing us into the story
-each person got casted as characters as some sort of reality show
-heart warming stories (family men)/ dramatic stories (cheaters)

Extraordinariness

-conflict, crime, disaster

Dominant ideology is reinforced and has two effects:

1) creates the ‘us’ vs. ‘them’ or ‘good’ vs. ‘bad’

    Analysis Of Deborah Tannen's 'Two Sides Come Out Fighting'

    In “Both Sides Come Out Fighting: The Argument Culture and the Press”, Deborah Tannen explains that the Press over-simplifies and dramatizes situations, and validates ridiculous arguments in order to appeal to viewers. She provides many examples of the harm this practice can cause, and describes the “Argument Culture” which is present in society. The Press has sizable influence because the way that events are reported affects people’s perceptions, in turn this affects the events themselves. The Media relies on controversy and drama to make news more interesting. They may exaggerate what was said, or analyse non-existent tensions. In the pursuit of remaining unbiased both sides of a story will be equally represented. The societal belief that…

    Frank Luntz Framing Theory

    The Framing Theory is a concept of “cognitive categorization,” with the basis that “meaning depends on context” (Scheufele 1999, Changingminds.org). Under the framing theory, an audience’s attention is drawn to events or issues placed within a frame, or a field of meaning, rather than on a particular topic. Although this sounds very similar to that of the Agenda Setting theory, framing is often a conscious choice by the media who act as gatekeepers, organizing and presenting these events and topics to the general public. When the frame, or surrounding elements, of a topic changes so does the meaning of the topic.…

    Technology has been one, if not the greatest, discoveries of mankind. It gave us electronic gadgets and appliances that we use to make our lives easier. Every passing decade from 20th century until today, technology is becoming more advanced that we humans depend so much on these to an extent that we cannot live without them. But to really appreciate this great discovery, we have to imagine a world without technology. The question we should ask ourselves is that what would our lives be like without technology? One way to do this is to look back at the lives of humans before the invention of such technologies. The humans that lived long before us had to survive using the things that surrounded them, things they did not make. They hunted animals to eat, had no permanent shelter and lived as if they were animals too. We would definitely not be civilized and act and think like we are now. If we were to survive in that world, it’s either hunt or be hunted. One good side to this way of living is that life will not be that complicated as to what it is today. Life will be simple and humans will be more physically active.…

    note of SCCS

    This is a cult scene from Ovcharovo. In the middle of the picture, there has 3 women stood and put their hands up, I assumed they are three priestesses. The tallest woman may be the main one. She was powerful and with great shaped body. In front of them, there has three tables, all of the tables had bowls and dish on it. It probably has foods and fruits inside, for sacrifice to God and Goddess. In the back of those three women, there has three stone sculptures, all of them has nice and symbolic paintings on it. The middle of the stone sculpture, it is a sun’s symbol on it. For the right one, it is a symbol of moon, and the shape likes five-pointed star, those related the night. Other side, it is probably symbols water or nature element that I did not one hundred percent sure about. It look likes the shape of river. Beside the priestesses, there has two big sacrificial altars, the left one has religious picture in the bottom, it is may be relate with God and Goddess. In front of the three women, there also has five chairs, it may be the sitting for honorable people, such likes the leader and master. I guess the normal people will be stand behind the chairs during the sacrificing. On the right side of the chairs, there three cylinders, those might be the musical instruments. During the sacrificing, the music player ( the fourth woman in the picture) will play them and diminished the feelings of fear and anxiety.…

    School of Manipulation

    This article examines, explains and puts into perspective what others have dubbed the ‘Manipulation School’. This group of scholars see themselves as working within descriptive translation studies (DTS), as defined by Holmes (1975), and their main methodological tool is a search for translational norms, first proposed by Toury (1980a). The article then explores how these ideas relate to current research on interpreting - especially Gile’s work - and it concludes that, with certain modifications, the theory of translational norms could be extended to interpreting.…
