The Big Issue - Representations - Stuart Hall

Stuart halls representations theory believes that representations are the production of meaning through language. In the big issues set text, Grayson Perry's 'letter to my younger self' article reflects this. His childhood story and acceptance is strongly represented as the article portrays his gender and sexuality and the hardships he faced with his family, getting kicked out 2 times at the age of 16, this relates to the big issues ideologies as we can assume Perry was homeless after this ordeal and having an article like this in the magazine can reach to a wider audience who may have experienced a similar situation
