Summary: This article analyses the last ten Super Bowls (1999-2008) and the image they present of America as a society characterised by fun, opportunity and enterprise, all carried out under the protection of the state and military. It addresses the troublesome place of both race and gender within this configuration, and pays particular attention to the changes which took place in the aftermath of the September 11 attacks responding to the motif of «America at war», changes which would themselves be affected by the gradual loss of social support for the war in Iraq.

Examina o papel incómodo desempenhado tanto pela raça como pelo género dentro desta configuração, e presta uma atenção particular às transformações que se produziram depois dos atentados terroristas do onze de Setembro de 2001, transformações elas mesmas afectadas pela perda paulatina de apoio social à guerra no Iraque.Comunicação públicaEscola Superior de Comunicação Social2020-12-03info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articlehttps://doi.org/10.4000/cp.7827https://doi.org/10.4000/cp.7827URI:https://journals.openedition.org/cpreponame:Repositórios Científicos de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (RCAAP)instname:FCCN, serviços digitais da FCT – Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologiainstacron:RCAAPengurn:doi:10.4000/cp.7827https://journals.openedition.org/cp/7827urn:handle:20.500.13089/ehajO’Donnell, HughSpires, Bobinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2025-05-22T12:41:56Zoai:revues.org:cp/7827Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireinfo@rcaap.ptopendoar:https://opendoar.ac.uk/repository/71602025-05-29T07:36:00.879824Repositórios Científicos de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (RCAAP) - FCCN, serviços digitais da FCT – Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologiafalse
