Mapping the Collection

Context is a FRAME.

Contexts is a frame that surrounds the event and provides resources for its appropriate interpretation.

(Can have different contexts for the same collection which ultimately gives different take-ons)(ex. A military context will have a different take on from a LGBTQ+ context one).

From a Semiotic, linguistic, sociology and anthropology stance, context refers to those objects/entities that revolve around a focal event. (Usually referring to a communicative event).

Context= a frame that surrounds the event and provides resources for its appropriate interpretation. Thus being a relative concept, since it is only definable with respect to some focal event within a frame and not independently of that frame.
