Advanced Module C elective:

Representation and Text

In this module students examine how composers represent events or personalities or situations. They will develop an understanding of the interconnection between representation and meaning.

Representation refers to the way in which a composer chooses to portray their subject matter (events or personalities or situations) in order to convey their meaning in relation to that subject. This involves a composer making choices about the structure of their text and language forms and features of that text in order to convey the desired meaning.

A visual example of the choices composers make can be found in the HSC glossary. Follow the link and scroll if necessary.
