Abstract
This Bachelor Thesis seeks to analyze the representation of race and gender on the examples of superheroes Luke Cage and Jessica Jones. The central theory is representation which was defined by Stuart Hall. In this work, a comparison of aforementioned superheroes with some examples of stereotypical superheroes will be made. Furthermore shall be examined the way in which the characters of Luke Cage, Jessica Jones and the TV shows they appear in depart from the stereotypical representation of superheroes in comic books, and even in some movies. Through the character Jessica Jones will be analyzed the progress in the representation of a female character through the theory of "the male gaze" in order to analyze the way Jones moved away from the stereotypical passive female character. Then, through the character Luke Cage will be portrayed Harlem´s culture and people along with the explanation of the importance of a black superhero with bulletproof skin.
Abstract (croatian)
Ovaj završni rad nastoji analizirati upotrebu reprezentacije u prikazivanju rase i roda na primjeru superheroja Lukea Cagea i Jessice Jones. Središnja teorija rada je reprezentacija koju je definirao Stuart Hall. Naime, u radu će se uspoređivati prikaz spomenutih superjunaka sa superjunacima koji su prikazani stereotipično, te će se analizirati način na koji likovi Luke Cage i Jessica Jones i istoimene serije odmakli od stereotipičnog prikaza superjunaka u stripovima, pa čak i u nekim filmovima. Kroz lik Jessice Jones će biti analiziran napredak u prikazu ženskog lika te će se kroz teoriju ˝muškog pogleda˝ analizirati način na koji se Jones odmakla od stereotipičnog pasivnog lika žene. Zatim će kroz lik Lukea Cagea nastojat biti prikazan život i kultura u Harlemu te zašto su boravak u zatvoru i neprobojna koža važni za oblikovanje snažnog crnog superheroja.
