Representation: Blog task



Representation: Blog task

  • High school students
  • Teenagers/youths
  • Parents
  • Adults
High school students - a dominant representation of students is used here as the students are presented as not being too focused on things inside school, e.g. studies, but rather external ones.

Teenagers/youths - a dominant representation of this group is presented since in most scenes the teens happen to be in more of a outdoor, street setting as oppose to indoors. Additionally the fact that some are aspiring to be musicians also plays on the stereotype nowadays that quite a large proportion of young people want to delve into the (music) industry.

Parents - a dominant representation is shown in this group with them acting as more of a reasoning/questioning force in the lives of their children.

Adults - in a fashion similar to parents, a dominant representation is implemented here as they act as provocations for reflection for their younger 'protégés.'

Stereotypes:

  • Black people venturing into the music industry for a living
  • People of ethnic minorities roaming around the streets
  • Just the very, almost complete presence of ethnic minorities, particularly black people, in the South London setting
