Sažetak
Gender and race have been in the centre of many discussions between academics who oftentimes analysed how they are represented in media. Still, one group of people has not been researched enough, and that is incarcerated women who have not been accurately represented in the media through its history. The racial and gender stereotypes that are often used when depicitng the prison life of women resulted in further dehumanization and discrimination of incarcerated people. In an attempt to shed light on these problems, Jenji Kohan's Orange is the New Black with a mostly female cast, portrayed complex characters that do not fit strictly into certain stereotypes. Through in-depth analysis of some of the show's characters and scenes, signs of breaking and challenging the current societal order can be found. OITNB is paving the way for other shows of its genre, showing how important representation of certain groups of people in media really is.
