Abstract

U 21. stoljeću, bez obzira na ljudska prava i promjenu demografske slike kako Amerike tako i Europe, i dalje se suočavamo s diskriminacijom i nedovoljnom zastupljenošću manjinskih skupina u svim sferama društvenog i političkog života.
Ovaj rad se iz tog razloga bavi istraživanjem koliko su i na koji način manjine zastupljene u današnjoj filmskoj industriji. Cjelokupnom analizom reprezentacije manjinskih skupina prvenstveno u američkoj, a zatim i europskoj filmskoj industriji, prikazano je s kojim se problemima te industrije danas suočavaju i na koji način se može utjecati na njihove pozitivne promjene.
Za metodu istraživanja je korištena analiza narativa odabranih filmovima 21. stoljeća, čiji glavni junaci pričaju priču manjina ili su sami dio manjine, a potvrđuje tezu kako su oni i dalje pretežno podložni stereotipnom prikazu, naspram “bjelačkih priča”. Iako se mali pomaci u realnom prikazu manjina naziru, film kao najjača zabavna industrija, mora preuzeti veću ulogu u osvještavanju i prihvaćanju različitosti, jer će tako i raznolika publika percipirati da smo ipak svi u toj svojoj različitosti zapravo jednaki.

Abstract (english)

In the 21st century, regardless of human rights and the demographic changes in America and Europe, we are still struggling with discrimination and insufficient representation of minority groups in all spheres of social and political life.
For this reason, this thesis focuses on research how and and in which way are minority’s represented in today's film industry. The overall analysis of the representation of minority groups primarily in the US and then in the European film industry shows what are the problems that this industry faces today and how she can make positive changes.
The research method used was an analysis of narrations on selected films made in 21st century, whose main characters are telling minority stories or are part of a minority themselves. Research confirms that the minority groups are still predominantly subject to stereotypical views vs. "white stories". Although small shifts in the realistic representation of the minority are slightly moving in positive direction, film as the strongest entertainer industry, must take on a greater role in the raising awareness and acceptance of diversity, so that diverse audience can feel how we all are in the core – equal.
