Abstract
Race is a complex term and its representation is determining for the positive or negative effects which are influencing the society. This paper provides an overview of race theory while examining race as a social construct and demonstrating how concepts like “whiteness”, “blackness” and “double consciousness” are presented in the popular culture. For a detailed analysis, two popular sport movies were applicated throughout the paper as a case study: White Men Can’t Jump and Remember the Titans. Along with the fictional material, real-life sport examples were depicted in order to indicate that racism is an existing issue; but also, that sport could be used in a confrontation against racial discrimination and provide a common ground for equality which would result in positive effects of representation of race throughout the world.
Abstract (croatian)
Rasa je složen pojam i njena reprezentacija je odlučujuća za pozitivne ili negativne efekte koji mogu utjecati na društvo. Ovaj rad predstavlja pregled rasne teorije uz proučavanje rase kao socijalnog konstrukta te demonstraciju kako su koncepti poput „bjeline“, „crnine“ i „dvostruke svijesti“ prezentirani u popularnoj kulturi. Za detaljniju analizu korištena su dva popularna sportska filma kroz cijeli rad kao studija slučaja: White Men Can't Jump i Remember the Titans. Uz izmišljeni materijal, opisani su i stvarni sportski primjeri kako bi se ukazalo na to da je rasizam aktualan problem; ali i da bi se sport mogao koristiti za borbu protiv rasne diskriminacije te pružiti zajedničko tlo za jednakost koja tada može rezultirati pozitivnim učincima reprezentacije rase u cijelome svijetu.
