Descripción
Sumario:This article offers a critique of racial stereotypes in Jordan Peele’s Get Out! (2017), exploring the historical/cultural relationship that places the black person in the position of the Other, and that reinforces the Eurocentric delimitation of society/nature, reason/emotion, men/monsters, white/black people. We cover a brief the history of black representation in hor-ror cinema in order to show how the film subverts historically constructed elements in favor of a political position that exposes the conflict between past and present, stereotype and rep-resentation. Therefore, it proposes to observe how some racist discourses relate to the themes presented in the film, focusing mainly on the relationship between the black body, nature and animality. Finally, it shows how the film responds to these tropes.
