In 2019, Todd Phillips’s Joker achieved worldwide success not only at the box office but also in critical appraisal. Unlike previous representations of this villain as a disruptive social persona, Joker showed the main character as a political figure that gives agency and voice to the people who are socially repressed. The impact of this representation transcended Anglo cultures to the extent of symbolizing a populist uprising and a growing anti-government sentiment. Nevertheless, this figure’s appropriation brings two problematic ideological standpoints to the goal these groups aim: violence as the only alternative to restoring equality in society and color blindness that silences the struggles that cultures face depending on their context. 2022 artículo científico 2683-2208 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=664974291012 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/6649/664974291012/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/6649/664974291012/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/6649/664974291012/664974291012.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/6649/664974291012/movil 10.21555/revistapanamericanadecomunicacin.v4i2.2713 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=6649 Revista Panamericana de Comunicación application/pdf Universidad Panamericana Revista Panamericana de Comunicación (México) Num.2 Vol.4 |
