Resumo
A significant population of foreigners reside in the
cinematographic narratives since the beginning of times. Mostly in the
science fiction ones. These narratives have been opening space to the
representation of the other, or others, to which are attributed a
threatening nature. Along the confrontation against such enemies, the
communities self-referred to as us (the representatives of mankind)
are confined to the social groups that hold the greatest economic,
technologic or belic power. According to the narratives selected for
this paper, American society appears as the representative of mankind
as a whole and it fights the threat brought by the others. They can be
our neighbors, immigrants, black people, virtually every foreigner,
anyone coming from unknown territories or from their own land. All
of these categories, the aliens, are suposably threatening and to fight
against them, attacking is the best defense strategy.
