INSTRUCTIONS:
In the video, Representation & the Media, and the chapter, “The Work of Representation,” that
we read for class, Stuart Hall argues that representation doesn’t simply reflect the world. Representation, he says, also creates or constitutes the world. For Hall

(and other authors he is in “conversation” with), representation is closely linked to power. Power operates though
discourse. In your own words, explain what you think this means and explain his approach to representation. The goal of this assignment is to demonstrate in 2–3 pages

your understanding of Hall’s argument. Illustrate your claims using one of the examples from (Cheerios Commercial, DASL Public Service Announcement, New York Post

Cover of Jeremy Lin, or Vogue Cover). Cite quotes or paraphrases from the text for support. Engage the film and the reading and talk about discourse, power/knowledge,

and subjects.
