The one thing you can sayabout those events is that there is no one true, fixed meaning about it.
Hall is saying that in meaning everyone will have a different opinion on a certain event, because it shows that the media can influence on how people view real life events.
Suppose one says, “Yes, I can see that people are meeting now in NorthernIreland to discuss the Northern Ireland situation.” But what it means, what is themeaning of that meeting, is a very complicated thing to decide.
hall is saying that when a meeting is happening, we know there meeting for a meeting, but we don't know what their discussing. The media doesn't just report what happened it helps us understand the meaning of the meeting.
So the representation is the way in which meaning is somehowgiven to the things which are depicted through the images or whatever it is, onscreens or the words on a page which stand for what we’re talking about.
Hall is trying to tell us about the meaning in how we depict images or what is on screens or the words that or on a page which stand for what we're taking about .
So I give you the common-sense meaningto try to take it back a little bit in what I’m going to say. But then there’s anotherunderstanding of the word representation, which also plays a role in what webring to this topic because we speak of political figures as representing us insome way.
Hall shows and tells us that representation can mean to show something or speak for something, like political figure to show the double meaning of common-sense
Now, the word has a kind of double meaning, even in itscommon-sense understanding. It does mean “to present,” “to image,” ‘todepict” – to offer a depiction of something else. And the word representation orrepresentation does sort of carry with it the notion that something was therealready and, through the media, has been represented.
The media will offer us one of two things a picture or deceptive Lie, sometimes it's a lie, or it's something that already exists. And the media just comes out and acts like they didn't know that it already existed in the real world.
I choose visual representation because it’s a kind of cliché to say that in themodern world our culture is saturated by the image in a variety of differentforms. The image itself – whether moving or still and whether transmitted by avariety of different media – seems to be, or to have become, the prevalent signof late-modern culture. Late-modern culture is not only that culture which onefinds in the advanced, industrial, post-industrial societies of the western world.But because of the global explosion in communication systems, it is also thesaturating medium, the saturating idiom, of communication worldwide. So Ithink to try and take the idea of representation to the image is an importantquestion. Cultural studies has paid a tremendous amount of attention in oneway or another to the centrality of representations and of the practice ofrepresentation. And media studies itself is, in an obvious sense, concerned inpart with the variety of different texts, in my instance, visual texts:representations which are transmitted by the media. But I’m going to standback from that a bit to begin with and try and look at the process ofrepresentation itself.
This is very true in our society. people see an image of what it could be like. but this mostly only shown in movies TV as a form of tv curiosity.
Through his energy, his passion, hismodesty, he convinced me of the value of what he calls the “intellectualvocation,” the notion that ideas matter, that they are worth struggling over
Hall is motivating people to not discard their ideas and take them seriously, because think about the media and our society can help us understand the world around us throughout our life.
when we are immersed in something, surrounded by it the waywe are by images from the media, we may come to accept them as just part ofthe real and natural world
All of us are surrounded by the media image so it's easy to overlook it and also take it for granted. I'm pretty sure this is what Hall is trying to tell us
One way he does that is through what he calls interrogation of the image. Theidea of interrogation normally brings to mind asking hard questions of asuspect. But how do we interrogate an image? By examining it, asking the hardquestions about it rather than just accepting it at face value. Just as a goodinterrogator looks behind the suspect’s story or alibi, so must we probe insideand behind the image
the main focus of this is that people believe whatever they see or hear never fact checking if it is true or not.
Hall is very closely identified in media studies with an approachknown as “cultural studies,” and he starts with one of its central concepts:representation. The usual meaning of this term is connected with whether thedepiction of something is an accurate or distorted reflection.
Hall was a great influence and help in cultural studies, in this work he helped in representation to show people when something is accurate or deceptive.
You, too, can be a Black street hood, but this class is for dark-skinned Blacksonly. Light-skinned or yellow Blacks don’t make good crooks.
When Hollywood wanted to have criminals in their movies, they would cast the darkest people for those roles if they didn't fit, they character description they wouldn't use them for the roles only the darkest and most thug like
Hallunderstands that communication is always linked with power and that thosegroups who wield power in a society influence what gets represented throughthe media.
yepp groups with power always win because they have something everyone can understand money and influence and usually its rigged from the get go
Hall shows that an imagecan have many different meanings and that there is no guarantee that imageswill work in the way we think they will when we create them
yeah this is very true a image most of the time won't have the same meaning its supposed to have, some people will disagree or or not see it the way others will.
Hi. My name is Robert Taylor, and I’m a Black Actor. I had to learn to play theseslave parts, and now you can, too, in Hollywood’s first Black Acting School
This is and was very true back in the day Hollywood was very racist to black actors back in the day and stereotypical tore them when writing scripts
he TV series repeats a problematic. Ittherefore provides no resolution of the problematic at the end of eachepisode, nor, often, even at the end of the run of a series. Hence again thereduction of onward narrative progression
when a TV series has no good progression in the native the series is probably going to be canceled or loss a lot of money
The series is the major point of repetition in TV, matchingthe innovation that takes place within each segment. This pattern ofrepetition and innovation is very different from the cinematic model.
sometimes if a story inconsistency between multiple parts of the story the author\creator will make another story between the OG story clear it up and make it more understandable for audiences
Movement from event to event is slower than in cinema, andparticular incidents tend to proliferate and be explored in more detail.
yes These events can be very slow paste to flush out the plot and to introduce interesting ideas and creations
In each form, the events that take place are anticipated. For the soapopera/drama, the deliciousness of the anticipation is worth in manyinstances more than the event itself
yes this very true anticipated events from soup can be very interesting and entertaining to people
Where an eventwith narrative consequences does take place, several segments arerequired to work through those consequences and to recapitulate the eventitself.
The narrative moves the story forward and causes a problem for that will be solved later in the future of the story
The recognition of the seriesformat tends to hold segments together and to provide them with anelement of continuity and narrative progression from one to the next.
The narrative tells a story through a spoken or written account of connected events; a story.
Any model of narration on broadcast TV therefore has to be based onthe particular institutional and material nature of that TV as we now knowit.
The narrator has follow the rules of the director or author when announcing certain events in a story
Non-fiction films have always had a precarious place in thecommercial cinema, and nowadays they are practically non-existen
I wouldn't say none-existent just less used in todays cinema world, but there is quite still a lot of them , there just not as popular as they use to be
