Abstract
Gender and race have been in the centre of many discussions between academics who oftentimes analysed how they are represented in media. Still, one group of people has not been researched enough, and that is incarcerated women who have not been accurately represented in the media through its history. The racial and gender stereotypes that are often used when depicitng the prison life of women resulted in further dehumanization and discrimination of incarcerated people. In an attempt to shed light on these problems, Jenji Kohan's Orange is the New Black with a mostly female cast, portrayed complex characters that do not fit strictly into certain stereotypes. Through in-depth analysis of some of the show's characters and scenes, signs of breaking and challenging the current societal order can be found. OITNB is paving the way for other shows of its genre, showing how important representation of certain groups of people in media really is.
Abstract (croatian)
Rod i rasa bili su u središtu mnogih rasprava između akademika koji su često analizirali kako su isti predstavljeni u medijima. Ipak, jedna skupina ljudi nije dovoljno istražena, a to su zatvorene žene koje kroz povijest nisu bile točno predstavljene u medijima. Rasni i rodni stereotipi koji se često koriste kada se prikazuje zatvorski život žena rezultirali su njihovom daljnjom dehumanizacijom i diskriminacijom. U pokušaju pružanja jasnije slike ovih problema, serija Orange is the New Black kreatorice Jenji Kohan s ženskim glumicama u većini, prikazuje složene likove koji se ne uklapaju strogo u određene stereotipe. Dubinskom analizom pojedinih likova i scena mogu se pronaći znakovi kršenja i preispitivanja trenutnog društvenog poretka. OITNB utire put drugim emisijama svog žanra, pokazujući koliko je doista važna zastupljenost određenih skupina ljudi u medijima.
