TV and Films have revolutionized pop culture since their inception. Images conveyed through the screen are not merely an object of entertainment, rather, they have become a vehicle of ideas and depictions of people, places, and their stories. Representation is a mechanism by which groups can assign meaning to their (and other’s) identities and worldviews. In Axel Honneth’s recount, the power of interpreting core principles in representation systems is unequally distributed. There is a permanent struggle between groups to gain dominance over this value horizon, consolidating the qualities and abilities associated with their way of life as culturally valuable. This chapter discusses the possible contributions of the theory of recognition in the contemporary debate over the representation of ethnic and gender diversity in the entertainment industry. There is a false sense that race and gender equality have already been reached in the entertainment industry since there is “apparently” more diversity in the casts of films and TV shows. I contend that this push for representation is based on arguments of proportional representation, but the root of the problem has not been properly addressed. Representation means more than seeing “a person like me” on the screen, it should stand for having the power to create movies or TV shows from one’s cultural standpoint.
