Aims
To explore the concept of representation by:
1. Examining stereotypes of Scotland & the Scots
2. Relating these representations to concepts of ideology, myth and discourse
3. Exemplifying ways of teaching representation through the analysis of film, advertising and print
4. Exemplify ways of teaching representation through media production

Representation
Can be understood in a number of ways:
1. Process of translating concepts into words, sounds and images
2. Continual re-presenting of stereotypes
3. Re-presenting in new non-stereotyped ways
4. Who represents whom and for what purpose?
![Page 4: Representations of Scotland Version 2: 11 November 2013 Rick Instrell info@deep-learning.co.uk Association for Media Education.](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051820/56649e555503460f94b4bc0a/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Representation & the Real World
How are representations related to the real
world? Four possibilities:
1. Real world shapes representations
2. Representations shape real world
3. Relationship is two-way and interactive
4. Distinction is false – all we have is representation and there is no ‘real world’
![Page 5: Representations of Scotland Version 2: 11 November 2013 Rick Instrell info@deep-learning.co.uk Association for Media Education.](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051820/56649e555503460f94b4bc0a/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Mediation
• Media not a ‘window on the world’• Media come between real world and the
audience i.e. they mediate• Media select what is – and what is not –
represented and then portray their selections in particular ways rather than others
• Mass media construct representations to maximise audiences and hence profit
![Page 6: Representations of Scotland Version 2: 11 November 2013 Rick Instrell info@deep-learning.co.uk Association for Media Education.](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051820/56649e555503460f94b4bc0a/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Active and Passive Audience
• Naïve view of audience is that of passive recipient
• Audiences are active differential decoders and can resist dominant meanings
• Audiences are increasingly active creators of meaning and can represent their own perceptions of reality
• This can change power relations in society
![Page 7: Representations of Scotland Version 2: 11 November 2013 Rick Instrell info@deep-learning.co.uk Association for Media Education.](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051820/56649e555503460f94b4bc0a/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)

Ideology
• Althusser: ideology is the common-sense beliefs, meanings and activities through which we think, communicate and act
• Function of ideology in relation to power relations in society
• Dominant ideologies are means by which dominant groups maintain leadership without resource to physical coercion e.g. patriarchy – the idea that men are superior to women
• Society’s institutions are the purveyors of dominant ideology (family, education, media, religion, business, etc.)
• They attempt to form individual and shared beliefs along dominant lines as if these ideas are natural, universal and unchanging
![Page 9: Representations of Scotland Version 2: 11 November 2013 Rick Instrell info@deep-learning.co.uk Association for Media Education.](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051820/56649e555503460f94b4bc0a/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Hegemony
• Gramsci: dominance is never total – oppositional ideologies from subordinate groups express rejection of dominant ideologies e.g. feminism is an oppositional ideology which in its varied forms challenges patriarchy
• Hegemonic struggle between dominant and subordinate ideologies
• Texts often reflect these struggles• We ourselves are the site of discursive struggles
(interdiscourse)
![Page 10: Representations of Scotland Version 2: 11 November 2013 Rick Instrell info@deep-learning.co.uk Association for Media Education.](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051820/56649e555503460f94b4bc0a/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Myth
Myth: culturally-specific explanation of
national history and character
N.B. Myth can also be universal e.g. Joseph Campbell’s Hero’s Journey narrative found in stories from may different cultures
![Page 11: Representations of Scotland Version 2: 11 November 2013 Rick Instrell info@deep-learning.co.uk Association for Media Education.](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051820/56649e555503460f94b4bc0a/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Discourse
• Ideology & myths are inscribed in discourse i.e. they are expressed in words, images and sounds
• So a text could be analysed in gender terms by tracing the struggle between patriarchal & feminist discourses
• Ideologies and myths are ways of making texts intelligible to audiences
• They also give the individual a sense of collective and individual identity
• Identity has a sense of ‘us’ and ‘them’
![Page 12: Representations of Scotland Version 2: 11 November 2013 Rick Instrell info@deep-learning.co.uk Association for Media Education.](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051820/56649e555503460f94b4bc0a/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Discourses of Scotland
The debate over representations of Scotland can be traced
to the 1981 the Scotch Myths exhibition and the 1982
Scotch Reels event. Three dominant discourses were
identified:• Tartanry• Kailyard• Clydesideism

Kailyard
• Scotland as small towns full of ‘characters’ (SR Crockett, JM Barrie, Ian MacLaren, People’s Friend, Sunday Post)
• People have little interest in what goes on in the rest of the world
• Central characters of kailyard novels are prominent members of a the community
• Local intrigue and homespun wisdom
• Sentimental and couthy

Modern Urban Kailyard 2
• Hybrid of kailyard and Clydesideism (Rab C Nesbitt, Chewin the Fat, Still Game)
![Page 38: Representations of Scotland Version 2: 11 November 2013 Rick Instrell info@deep-learning.co.uk Association for Media Education.](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051820/56649e555503460f94b4bc0a/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Modern Urban Kailyard 2
![Page 39: Representations of Scotland Version 2: 11 November 2013 Rick Instrell info@deep-learning.co.uk Association for Media Education.](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051820/56649e555503460f94b4bc0a/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Critique of Scotch Myths Debate
• John Caughie: reductive and ignored texts that did not fit polemic (e.g. Bill Douglas trilogy: My Childhood, My Ain Folk, My Way Home)
• Pam Cook: nostalgia can play a productive role by releasing desire for resistance and social change
• Cairns Craig: Scottish cultural renaissance of 1980s and 1990s was involved in construction of new myths
• One could argue that Braveheart had a progressive impact in mobilising the vote for a Scottish parliament
• Beveridge and Turnbull: meanings never passively consumed but are subject to active selection and adjustment e.g. Jacobite rebellion has led to tourist kitsch but also produced prose, poetry and song that symbolise rebellion and idealism
![Page 40: Representations of Scotland Version 2: 11 November 2013 Rick Instrell info@deep-learning.co.uk Association for Media Education.](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051820/56649e555503460f94b4bc0a/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Usefulness of Debate
• Texts can be analysed in terms of whether they express or interrogate the tartan/kailyard monster or represent those usually absent from the discourse e.g. children, women, ethnic minorities
![Page 41: Representations of Scotland Version 2: 11 November 2013 Rick Instrell info@deep-learning.co.uk Association for Media Education.](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051820/56649e555503460f94b4bc0a/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Moving on from Scotch Myths
• Scotch Myths debate needs to be moved on because Scotland has changed radically since early 1980s
• Debate around a restricted over-simplified number of discourses
• Debate framed within Marxist/post-Marxist problematic• Tim Edensor’s analysis• Gerry Hassan’s analysis
![Page 42: Representations of Scotland Version 2: 11 November 2013 Rick Instrell info@deep-learning.co.uk Association for Media Education.](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051820/56649e555503460f94b4bc0a/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Edensor on National Identity 1
Edensor sees this national identity operating at both spectacular and mundane levels:• state level: providing the legal and bureaucratic
framework within which we act• the spatial level: the borders; iconic sites; rural, urban
and domestic spaces• performative level: the rituals, ceremonies, sports,
celebrations as well as everyday competences, embodied habits and daily, weekly and annual synchronised activities of everyday life.
• the material level: shared meanings of everyday objects such as clothes, tools, food, drink, vehicles, ephemera as well as obvious carriers of national symbolism such as stamps, currency, official logos and flags
![Page 43: Representations of Scotland Version 2: 11 November 2013 Rick Instrell info@deep-learning.co.uk Association for Media Education.](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051820/56649e555503460f94b4bc0a/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Edensor on National Identity 2
• there need not be agreement as to the interpretation of shared objects, ideas and symbols
• a nation’s cultural resources provide the common ground on which discursive battles take place
![Page 44: Representations of Scotland Version 2: 11 November 2013 Rick Instrell info@deep-learning.co.uk Association for Media Education.](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051820/56649e555503460f94b4bc0a/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Scotland in early 1980s
Gerry Hassan:• Decline of manufacturing sector• Over 50% in trade union• 52% living in council housing• Political disempowerment under Thatcher• Mass unemployment• Economic and social dislocation• Social conservatism in public and elite opinion• Patronage by political and professional elite• Stagnant cultural and artistic sector
![Page 45: Representations of Scotland Version 2: 11 November 2013 Rick Instrell info@deep-learning.co.uk Association for Media Education.](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051820/56649e555503460f94b4bc0a/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Scotland in 2006
• Dominance of service sector• Declining trade union membership• Home ownership• Scottish parliament• Lower unemployment• Still deep degree of exclusion from employment market • Liberalism in public and elite opinion• Patronage still at work but under attack• Dynamic cultural and artistic sector• Significant migration from Eastern Europe
![Page 46: Representations of Scotland Version 2: 11 November 2013 Rick Instrell info@deep-learning.co.uk Association for Media Education.](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051820/56649e555503460f94b4bc0a/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Shift
• Individualised society shaped by lifestyle and consumption rather than social class
• Society more at ease with equality issues• More feminised society• Post-labourist, post-nationalist politics• Globalisation and immigration• Digital revolution
![Page 47: Representations of Scotland Version 2: 11 November 2013 Rick Instrell info@deep-learning.co.uk Association for Media Education.](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051820/56649e555503460f94b4bc0a/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Inadequate Response
• Mindset and stories have not changed• Nostalgia for collectivism (forgets its suffocating nature)• Urban kailyard (lost male world in Kelman and
McIlvanney; ‘McLad’ culture of Tam Cowan and Stuart Cosgrove)
• Despite decline of working class more people see themselves as working class
![Page 48: Representations of Scotland Version 2: 11 November 2013 Rick Instrell info@deep-learning.co.uk Association for Media Education.](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051820/56649e555503460f94b4bc0a/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
What needs changed?
• Need an ethic of living, set of stories that embody how we live now and in the future
• Has to capture:– Individualism– Renewal of collectivist values– Pluralism– Complexity– Rapid change– Post-nationalist politics
• Need to map past, current and future stories
![Page 49: Representations of Scotland Version 2: 11 November 2013 Rick Instrell info@deep-learning.co.uk Association for Media Education.](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051820/56649e555503460f94b4bc0a/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)

Rebranding the Nation 1
Bond et al. identify processes involved in
rebranding Scotland:
1. Reiteration– a historically positive feature is mobilised within a
contemporary context e.g. stressing education as a past and current Scottish strength
2. Recapture– a historically diminished feature is mobilised e.g.
trying to correct a perceived entrepreneurial deficit which will recapture past economic success

Rebranding the Nation 2
3. Reinterpretation– a historically negative feature is mobilised as having
advantages or as being largely neutral e.g. the Scottish diaspora to North America is seen as a way of attracting those with Scots ancestry to return to Scotland to utilise their skills or wealth
4. Repudiation– negative features cannot be reinterpreted so are
omitted from current constructions of national identity e.g. the dominance of an ‘employment culture’ in the shipbuilding, steelmaking and mining industries seen to be a barrier an entrepreneurial economy based round small firms

Creating a Brand
• Design a new brand for promoting the Scottish Highlands as an upmarket tourist destination
• It usually helps to have a picture of your target audience (e.g. London city workers on the Underground)
• You should produce– Strapline (slogan)– Logo– Typography– Choice of colours
and be able to justify each(N.B. You may want to use a brand pyramid)
