Abstract

The relationship between citizens and the state is omnipresent: even the most totalitarian regimes present some interaction between society and ruler. Digital communications have added new instruments through which all, especially the least represented, can make their voices heard. This chapter provides theoretical bases for analyzing how citizens and government interact in the digital age. Dictatorships rely on performance and resort to violence to obtain support. Democratic leaders rely on principle, performance, or elections. Legitimacy by policy efficiency can support despotic governments. Digital communications arise as new channels for governments to promote their views to the people, convincing them of their policies' value; monitor the population's activities in support or against the government; and block information contrary to governmental interests. The people too can use digital interfaces to obtain information, share approval or discontent, and organize protests. Digital communication tools deeply impact the traditional democratic mechanisms to provide regime legitimacy.

The Transformation of Ion Perdicaris to Eden Perdicaris as a Retro Scenario and Orientalist Codes in Art: Woman and East “To Be Saved” From Eastern
Representation is an act of expression that takes place in a way that can work for or against the represented. A group can be represented politically or socially, or through media texts. In social sciences, especially with the tradition of cultural studies and discourse analysis, how representation is constructed through media texts has been an important area of research. As mentioned before, representation may turn into the misrepresentation, so “the construction of concepts relating to issues of gender, race or sexuality are questions of representation” (Sedgwick, 2003a: 225-226).
