Representation theory

Some useful resources on the general concept, of which the first text is the most useful
Representation                                                            

A more basic rundown:
Media Representation - David Chandler                                                            


This next one is university-level, but may be of particular interest to those of you also studying English/Lit., as it focusses on the possible links between narrative and representation:
The Value of Narrativity in the Representation of Reality                                                            

You can also look to find some useful materials on YouTube, such as this piece by Stuart Hall (who developed the idea of there being 3 levels of reading, and is a key thinker of the world of Cultural Studies):
