Interpretation in my definition is a view or telling of something from a different perspective or viewpoint. To me representation is a different kind of interpretion that may rely more on symbolism or subject matter that is shown more than "decoded" like an interpretation. An example of an interpretation could be the film "The Departed" that is interpreted from a Chinese film "Infernal Affairs". On the other hand a representation example could be TV coverage of a special event or circumstance.

Interpretation is when a person includes his or her views on a subject or scenario. It includes opinions and ideas. Representation is what actually happens. It does not include subjective information and is based on facts.

Interpretation to me is the way we take the world in. How we perceive and understand something is the way we interpret it. Representation is how we are making people see us or what we have to offer. An example from a television show is married with children. An example of representation would be Universal Marketing group who represent and sell golf equipment.

Interpretation is how one views an event, object, character, and people's actions or how they percieve the meaning of something. Representation is how an event, obeject, ect. really is or what it means in words or focuses on the particulars/details. Gossip magazines on celebrities is an example of interpretation and the nightly news is an example of representation.
