Representation Task (12Y)

The area we will be covering is Textual Analysis and Representation.

You need to familiarise yourselves with the 7 areas of representation and the 4 areas of analysis. These are the areas we will be covering in class over the next 17 weeks.

As a starting point I want you to think about how you construct your own representation.

• Use UK Tribes to find the group or groups (there can be crossover) that you think you belong to. Why do you belong to this group(s).
• What media figures (actors, musicians, sportspeople, celebrities) do you identify with? What are the reasons for this?
• Do you consciously 'model' (copy modes of dress, style yourself, act like) yourself on any of these media figures? Why is that?

Construct a representation of yourself using the above information. Add images of the type of clothes, accessories and gadgets you prefer. Add images and descriptions from UK Tribes to further illustrate your self representation. Post directly to your blog, or if using word embed in Scribd before uploading.
