النقد الثقافي و أسئلة التمثيل : المفهوم و التحديات

Abstract EN

This article proposes to address a central notion in cultural studies in general and cultural criticism in particular.

It is about the representation of this notion which owes its fame to the work of the eminent Palestinian critic Edward Saïd but whose genesis and application to cultural studies are linked to the French philosopher Michel Foucault.

As a term representation appears in many disciplines such as language sciences, law, political science and psychology.

The objective of this article is to closely follow the conceptual nuances and meanings known by this term before it was widely used in cultural criticism so we try to follow the development of this notion and address some problems and challenges raised by the use of this term in cultural studies.
