(2017). The rP oblem with Borat. Taboo: The Journal of Culture and Education, 11 (1). https://doi.org/10.31390/ taboo.11.1.09 Taboo, Spring-Summer-Fall-WinterGhada Chehade 2007 63 The Problem with Borat Ghada Chehade There is just something about Borat, Sacha Baron Cohen’s barbaric alter-ego who The Observer’s Oliver Marre (2006) aptly describes as “…homophobic, rac- ist, and misogynist as well as anti-Semitic.” While on the surface, Cohen’s Borat may seem to offend all races equally—the one group he offends the most is the very group he portrays as homophobic, racist, misogynist, and anti-Semitic. Or in other words, the real parties vilified by Cohen are not Borat’s victims but Borat himself. The humour is ultimately directed at this uncivilized buffoon-Borat. He is the butt of every joke. He is the one we laugh at, and are intended to laugh at, the most inasmuch as he is more vulgar, savage, ignorant, barbaric, and racist than any of the bigoted Americans “exposed” in the 2006 film Borat: Cultural Learn- ings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan. This would not be quite as problematic if the fictional Borat did not come from a very real place and did not so obviously (mis)represent Muslims. While the 2006 film has received coverage and praise for revealing the racism of Americans, very few people are asking whether Cohen’s caricature of a savage, homophobic, misogynist, racist, and hard core Jew-hating Muslim is not actually a form of anti-Muslim racism.

    WMC INVESTIGATION: 10-YEAR ANALYSIS OF GENDER & OSCAR NOMINATIONS womensmediacenter.com @womensmediacntr WOMEN’S MEDIA CENTER ABOUT THE WOMEN’S MEDIA CENTER In 2005, Jane Fonda, Robin Morgan, and Gloria Steinem founded the Women’s Media Center (WMC), a progressive, nonpartisan, nonproft organization endeav- oring to raise the visibility, viability, and decision-making power of women and girls in media and thereby ensuring that their stories get told and their voices are heard. To reach those necessary goals, we strategically use an array of interconnected channels and platforms to transform not only the media landscape but also a cul- ture in which women’s and girls’ voices, stories, experiences, and images are nei- ther suffciently amplifed nor placed on par with the voices, stories, experiences, and images of men and boys. Our strategic tools include monitoring the media; commissioning and conducting research; and undertaking other special initiatives to spotlight gender and racial bias in news coverage, entertainment flm and television, social media, and other key sectors. Our publications include the book “Unspinning the Spin: The Women’s Media Center Guide to Fair and Accurate Language”; “The Women’s Media Center’s Media Guide to Gender Neutral Coverage of Women Candidates + Politicians”; “The Women’s Media Center Media Guide to Covering Reproductive Issues”; “WMC Media Watch: The Gender Gap in Coverage of Reproductive Issues”; “Writing Rape: How U.S. Media Cover Campus Rape and Sexual Assault”; “WMC Investigation: 10-Year Review of Gender & Emmy Nominations”; and the Women’s Media Center’s annual WMC Status of Women in the U.S.

Skotchdopole, Alexander Dinelaris, Nicolás Giacobone, Dluglas Jones, Scott Robertson, Alex G. Scott per New Regency Pictures/Anonymous Content/Appian Way/RatPac Entertainment Distribuzione: 20th Century Fox Durata: 156 min. Origine: USA, 2015 ALEJANDRO GONZÁLEZ IÑÁRRITU: DAL MESSICO ALL’INDUSTRIA HOLLYWOODIANA Nato a Città del Messico nel 1963, Alejandro González Iñárritu cresce a Narvarte, quartiere vicino al centro della capitale. Figlio del banchiere Héctor González Game e di Luz María Iñárritu, trova nel padre una grandissima fonte di ispirazione: dopo aver dichiarato bancarotta, infatti, l’uomo riesce a ricostruire la sua vita diventando rivenditore di frutta e verdura. Di fronte a un tale esempio, tra i 17 e i 19 anni si imbarca in una nave da carico in rotta attraverso l’Atlantico, lavorando come mozzo. Questo viaggio lo forma molto a livello intellettuale e culturale e gli offre l’opportunità di visitare l’Europa e l’Africa e di arricchire il proprio bagaglio di esperienza. Rientrato in Messico, Iñárritu si iscrive al corso di comunicazione dell’Universidad Iberoamericana e comincia a lavorare come annunciatore in una stazione radio, della quale diventa successivamente direttore. Il primo approccio con il cinema avviene nel 1987: partendo dalla sua passione per la musica, si reinventa compositore, firmando le colonne sonore dei film messicani girati da Victor Manuel Casto e Hernando Name.
