Abstract
This paper deals with the depiction of Arabs and Middle East in Hollywood films. From the beginning of the 20th century Arab characters and depictions of the Middle East can be found in these films. Unfortunately, these depictions are often one-dimensional and full of stereotypes. They are the consequence of the Orientalistic “us” and “them” dichotomy, created by the West. Furthermore, many people believe that the Hollywood films are actually used for the promotion of American propaganda and that socio-political changes in the world have an effect on the depictions in the films. The fact that the Arabs have been and still are one of the most discriminated ethnic groups in the world is evident in the Hollywood films, too.
Abstract (croatian)
Ovaj rad se bavi načinima na koje su Arapi i Bliski Istok prikazani u hollywoodskim filmovima. Od samog početka 20.stoljeća pa sve do danas u ovim filmovima možemo pronaći arapske likove i prikaze Bliskog Istoka. Nažalost, ti prikazi su često jednodimenzionalni i puni stereotipa. Oni su posljedica orijentalističke podjele na „nas“ i „njih“ koju je stvorio Zapad. Nadalje, mnogi se slažu s tezom da se hollywoodski filmovi zapravo koriste za promoviranje američke propagande i da društveno-političke promjene u svijetu jasno utječu na prikaze u filmovima. Arapi su kroz povijest bili i ostali jedna od najdiskriminiranijih etničkih skupina u svijetu, a to je vidljivo i u hollywoodskim filmovima.
