Resumen
This monograph explores the relationship between stereotypes and legitimization of projects and political actions, with bases on Muslims stereotype in Hollywood movies before and after 9/11. Analyzing several movie productions ('Syriana' by Stephen Gaghan, 'Body of Lies' by Ridley Scott. 'The Kingdom' by Peter Berg, 'The Hurt Locker' by Kathryn Bigelow and 'Iron Man' by Jon Favreau), we can identify the Muslim stereotypes, in order to put all of the elements in context with the processes and political actions by the USA in the Middle East. The monograph is build on the theory that the information can be seen as basis of the justification of U.S. actions in the Middle East.
