Abstract
Represent! offers insights into identity and sociocultural diversity in popular media culture, from Game of Thrones to hip hop. It addresses how popular media texts and practices deal with diversity in Western societies, how this evolved historically, and how it can be critically studied. Many people have an understanding of what 'woke' means, but are not familiar with the historical background of this term. Why are some romantic comedies heteronormative? Can pop music emancipate? Six thematic chapters explore the representation of gender, sexual orientation, racial and ethnic identity, disability, and social class, using examples from film, television and popular music culture.
