to start - I have come to understand that Kent believed representations are the recall of those sensory experiences - the object that we associate them with is only intuited and then named by language representation - as such language (semiotic systems) reference or signify the bundles of experiences - thus representation refers to our experiences associated with some stimuli and not the stimuli itself (which is only known as an intuition) -Hegel's phenomenology in turn seeks to differentiate between experience -and the psychology induced by its representation (that which is objectified) in turn we begin to believe that there are things in the world that correspond to our representation of them - Freud subsequently picks up on this to the degree that he understanads us to be living in a world of signs and symbols which correspond to and through which we try to manifest our (somewhat deformed) subjectivity - representation (as an inuited object) gives rise to a distorted external reality and takes on a life independent of the subject (the experiencing I) - whcih in turn leads to Levi-Strauss and the notion of myth and the Law - and Lacan and Freud (again) notion of the impossibility of knowledge, truth or meaning in any fixed form -least of all as defined by the self
