  5. ‘ensure media pluralism, diversity of content, and the representation of a society’s different groups and interests . . . encourage open dialogue and transparency of administration at local level and offer a voice to the voiceless’ From a UNESCO mission statement

  6. “…development works to maintain itself as a system of representations as much as an operational system that mostly serves to produce certain policy models and authoritative views. “ Salazar (2009: 505)

  7. Who represents whom?

  8. What is “representation”? • How is development “represented”? • By whom, and for whom? • From the National Geographic effect to the “CNN effect” and “Al-Jazeera phenomenon” • Description or action? • Performativity: Development as Representation • From being framed to active framing
