This research project examines how humans are depicted in computer-based representations, with particular attention to the representation of cultural difference. Hypermedia environments from a range of sources are analyzed as sites of meaning making, including two websites built by the researcher, <italic> Growing Up in Northern Nigeria</italic> and <italic>Image Mosaic</italic>. This analysis considers the social practices that converge in these hypermedia representations, especially anthropological and museum practices, and how viewers negotiate these multiple social practices in their construction of meaning. These social practices are examined in relation to features of the hypermedia environments, including knowledge representation, interactivity, and agency, as manifested in navigation systems, images, text, and page designs.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a This research project examines how humans are depicted in computer-based representations, with particular attention to the representation of cultural difference. Hypermedia environments from a range of sources are analyzed as sites of meaning making, including two websites built by the researcher, <italic> Growing Up in Northern Nigeria</italic> and <italic>Image Mosaic</italic>. This analysis considers the social practices that converge in these hypermedia representations, especially anthropological and museum practices, and how viewers negotiate these multiple social practices in their construction of meaning. These social practices are examined in relation to features of the hypermedia environments, including knowledge representation, interactivity, and agency, as manifested in navigation systems, images, text, and page designs.
520 $a This project makes use of methods and analytic tools from semiotics, linguistics, and discourse analysis. A semiotic approach is used to investigate signs, connotations, oppositions, intertextuality, and subject positions in text and image, while a linguistic approach examines grammatical subject and referential terms. Discourse analytic methods are employed to consider the hypermedia page as a site of interaction between the designer, the viewer, and those who are represented.
520 $a This study revealed key issues in the hypermedia representation of cultural alterity, including the constructed subject positions and agency of the viewer and of those depicted; the multiple interpretive layers present in representations, including the institutional; the often contradictory implications of text and image in representations; and the problematical nature of referential terms used for various cultural groups. Further research is called for on viewer interactions with hypermedia environments representing cultural alterity and on the influence of specific design elements on viewer experience.
520 $a The study has three main pedagogical and policy implications. Given the increased reliance on complex visual representations across disciplines, visual literacy coursework should be considered essential to the curriculum. Because intercultural experience is increasingly computer-mediated, schools should provide students with tools for analyzing and making representations of cultural alterity, including careful attention to social ascription and agency. The designers of hypermedia environments representing cultural alterity, especially those aimed at children, should be increasingly attentive to the sources of their materials and the social practices influencing their representations.
