- Abstract
Reality TV has led to the emergence of new representations and stereotypes. In featuring ordinary people in 'unscripted' situations, such shows resonate deeply with current ideas of identity and social relations. Yet, existing studies show that such representations are often one-dimensional and stereotyped. Adding to such work, this article explores the representation of the Palestinian Arab woman citizen of Israel in five reality TV programmes, in order to understand the patterns of representation of their status as 'Other' in Israeli society. Our aim is to address the following questions: how are Palestinian Arab women represented on Israeli reality TV? How are these specific types negotiated on a multiple of levels?
