The Stereotype Of Afro-American Father in Fatherhood (2021) Movie : Counter Discourse

---

This thesis is a study on stereotypes of father roles in the movie
“Fatherhood” by Paul Weitz using Charles Stangor's stereotype theory (2021)
and Cohen and Garcia's stereotype denial theory (2005). This study aims to
identify father stereotypes in the Fatherhood movie. In society and the media,
there have been stereotypes about Afro-American fathers. Studies reveal that
Afro-American fathers are often absent in their children's lives. The author
uses descriptive qualitative method and stereotype theory, assisted by movie
narrative in analyzing the data. Primary data are images, narratives, and dialog
in the movie Fatherhood (2021). This research found seven issues that are
considered as a counter-discourse to the stereotype of Afro-American fathers.
They are responsible, attentive, financially concerned, health concerned,
educated and encouraging to the Afro-American father figure. The paternal
bound also exists in the figure.
