CRISIS OF REPRESENTATION. This phrase was coined by George Marcus and Michael Fischer to refer specifically to the uncertainty within the human sciences about adequate means of describing social reality.
For David Harvey, the crisis of representation has to do with the dematerialization and the shifting of a central value system (1990, p. 298). He speaks about the changing experience of space and time, of sign systems, and of the ways in which money and commodities have become the bearers of cultural codes.
