It is generally agreed that people know and understand the world and reality through the act of naming it; thus, through language and representations (Oxford English Dictionary. The term representation embodies a range of meanings and interpretations. In the context of literary theory the term is commonly defined in three ways:
- to look like or to resemble something
- to stand in for something or someone
- to present a second time-to re-present
Representation began with early literary theory in the ideas of Plato and Aristotle and has evolved into a significant component of language and communication studies in the contemporary world.
