This paper aims at exploring the representation of peoples outside the Western standard in Hollywood movies to spot recurrences in portraying Others, especially in vilifying terms. The analysis of plots and characters in American movies in different historical stages reveal not only consistent patterns in the depiction of Otherness, but also an even more interesting need to define and reaffirm the Self through the opposition to changing Others that mainly depend on the historical and political period occurring.Hollywood ha desempeñado un papel decisivo en la configuración de la corta historia del país bajo cuyo abrigo nació, los Estados Unidos de América. En este artículo se examinan la representación de los pueblos no occidentales en las películas hollywoodienses desde finales de la década de los años sesenta hasta finales de la década de los años noventa; con el fin de detectar recurrencias en los retratos de esos Otros, especialmente cuando se tiende a describirlos en términos peyorativos, lo que demuestra que la tendencia era recurrente y estaba bien asentada en Hollywood mucho antes incluso de los ataques del 11 de septiembre. El análisis de argumentos y personajes de las películas americanas a través de las diferentes etapas históricas observadas ratifica no solo los conocidos lazos entre Hollywood y la Casa Blanca, sino que revela una serie de patrones recurrentes en la caracterización de esta Otredad y también una necesidad aún más interesante de definir y reafirmar la propia identidad a través de la oposición a un Otro cuya fisonomía cambia de manera pareja al momento político e histórico que coincida con el lanzamiento de la película.2016text (article)https://dialnet.unirioja.es/servlet/oaiart?codigo=5403289(Revista) ISSN 2174-1859Index.comunicación: Revista científica en el ámbito de la Comunicación Aplicada, ISSN 2174-1859, Vol. 6, Nº. 1, 2016 (Ejemplar dedicado a: Número anual ordinario), pags. 11-25engLICENCIA DE USO: Los documentos a texto completo incluidos en Dialnet son de acceso libre y propiedad de sus autores y/o editores.
