Character representation is the academic concept and research field dedicated to analyzing how individuals, both fictional and non-fictional, are constructed, depicted, and interpreted across various media, cultural products, and communication forms. This area investigates the methods, conventions, and effects of character portrayal, critically examining their traits, roles, relationships, stereotypes, archetypes, diversity, and the socio-cultural contexts influencing their creation and reception. Its significance lies in providing critical insights into narrative structures, cultural values, identity formation, and the broader impact of media and texts on societal understanding and discourse.
