Latinos in the Media

With the spread of the internet and the availability of computing resources, the use of digital games technologies has grown considerably in areas other than pure pastime (Hainey et al., 2011). Serious games in particular are games designed for primary purposes other than pure entertainment (Susi et al., 2007). In this paper, we focus on the potential as well as the limitations of serious digital games as a medium for communication in the area of public health.

The terms Spanish-Language television, Hispanic television and Latino television are used interchangeably. All of them refer to the Spanish-language networks Univision, Telemundo, Telefutura, National Hispanic Television Network, NHTV, and Azteca-America. The first two networks have national coverage and are the subject of study of this project. 3 The term Latinas is the preferred term throughout this dissertation. However, I acknowledge that the term Latinas, as well as of Hispanic women are social constructs, have no fixed definition and have a political and economic usage depending on who is defining this cultural group. According to Dávila (2001), the term Latino/a "enjoys a more widespread acceptance as a politically correct term in contrast to 'Hispanic,' which is more evocative of Spanish conquest and colonization" (p. 16). However, she argues that overall "both terms are used equally to sell, commodify, and market populations of Latin American background in the United States" (p. 16). For a more in-depth discussion,

Drawing on the comedic work of John Leguizamo, particularly his "Latin History for Morons" monologue, the authors examine satire's ability to engage, educate, and provoke audiences. They highlight its dual potential: simultaneously dismantling harmful stereotypes while risking their reinforcement. Critical analysis of Leguizamo's work demonstrates how satire can expose the absurdity of racial prejudice and offer corrective narratives. However, the authors emphasize the nuanced impact influenced by audience reception and the complexities of racial and ethnic identity. By highlighting this multifaceted role, the chapter underscores the need for a critical approach to satire in media. Recognizing its potential for both challenging and reinforcing stereotypes, audiences should engage with satirical works with a discerning eye.

This study discusses the value and importance of cosmopolitanism in the modern globalized era, and how aesthetic experiences through television can contribute to promoting cosmopolitan education. Cosmopolitanism, an ambition to interact with and belong to the world by expanding one's national or cultural borderlines, requests people to have an intuitive sense of a common humanity based on both rational and emotional engagement. This study argues that conventional multicultural education in formal schooling has limited impact in empowering cosmopolitanism, since this direction mainly focuses on offering detailed engagement with multiple cultures without adequate extending that engagement to develop a disposition that moves easily between and among varieties of traditions. This study suggests that aesthetic experience of daily lives can become a possible alternative to develop cosmopolitan dispositions. In this project, I propose that television, as a medium of aesthetic experience in daily life, can contribute to cosmopolitan education. I do this by examining theoretical research and conducting a comparative case study of two particular television series. Through the analysis of Face Me and Smile (2010), a family drama produced in Republic of Korea, Modern Family (2009), an American situation comedy, and this study shows how television creates aesthetic experience in its distinctive way and how such experience can promote cosmopolitanism. Differing concepts of cosmopolitanism in the United States and Republic of Korea is also contrasted to broaden the meaning of cosmopolitanism. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This thesis may never have existed without the constant guidance and encouragement of my thesis advisor, Dr. Pradeep Dhillon.

This article traces the conditions that made possible the legislation of police surveillance of schools as a "solution" to the "problems" of convivencia in school, during a period of social and racial diversification of Spanish society. During the 1980s and 1990s, convivenciathe ideal of living together in harmonyserved as a discourse for producing a new imaginary of conviviality in a new liberal-democratic political culture after a long dictatorship. However, since 2000, the "problem" of convivencia reassembled in Spain's public sphere as a "problem" of diversity, violence and public safety. But what is it about convivencia in diverse schools and society that has made it seem reasonable to have police surveil schools and students as a solution to the "problems" of convivencia? Through the critical encounter of historical and ethnographic analysis of educational policy and printed media, I interrogate the notion of convivencia by tracing the ways in which "problems" of convivencia have been deployed in Spain's cultural politics to produce and differentiate citizens both within and outside the educational field. I argue that convivencia has functioned as a moving target in forming the ideal citizen and has embedded a division that differentiates human bodies by gendering and racializing their attributes through a civilizing agenda.

The evolution of Latino print media in Spain has coincided with the demographic increase of Latin American immigrants in the country since the early 1990s. Starting with one publication in 1992, the market started to grow in 2003 and reached its peak in 2007 with the edition of more than 100 titles. The advertising crisis of 2008 ended this trend, and the number of publications began a continuous and permanent decline in the following years despite a demographic recovery of Latin Americans in Spain after 2016. This research presents a quantitative analysis of the contents of 1,500 news items from 14 Latino newspapers and magazines that survived the 2008 advertising downfall. Six of these 14 media outlets continue publishing in 2023. The objective of this study is to show the connections between the contents of the analyzed Latino print media and the cultural identities of their readers. The results show that the prevalent themes related to culture, society and politics represent the...

Spanish-language and bilingual radio is a vibrant medium capturing the vitality and diversity of US Latinx communities whose avid listenership is crucial to the continual growth of commercial and community broadcasting. Radio stations, programs, and listeners have consistently functioned as 'acoustic allies' for Latinx communities in the United States by 'airing advocacy-oriented announcements, popular music, and sounds of Latina America to Spanish-dominant listeners' (Casillas 2014, 24). Surely the strong radio listenership amongst Latinxsapproximately 97% of this population tunes in to radio each weekreflects their interest in broadcasts extending beyond typical top 40 music and talk radio formats with radionovelas (radio dramas), public service announcements covering everything from health to immigration, and other community-produced content by, for, and about them (Nielsen Company) In fact, Spanish-dominant listeners spend the most time listening to radio among all US adults, with an average 13 h and 12 min listening a week compared to 11 h and 48 min for Englishdominant listeners (Nielsen Company, 2016). Between 1990 and 2000, Spanish-language radio grew approximately 500% whereas English language radio grew by only 10% (Casillas 2016). Indeed, Spanish-language and bilingual radio reveals how Latinx communities, including recently arrived immigrants and those with deep roots in the United States, harness the power of sound to insert themselves into the US imaginary, despite the nation's attempts to erase their presence. Spanish-language and bilingual commercial, public, and community-based radio stations store a wealth of primary source material and the voices of newsmakers that span political, cultural, social, and musical worlds. Our knowledge of the breadth and depth of Spanish and bilingual broadcasts is incomplete without a more nuanced understanding of this medium that comes from active efforts to locate, digitize, and preserve visual and aural records and CONTACT

El mercado televisivo en español en Estados Unidos afronta múltiples mudanzas. Pese a tratarse de un mercado en expansión no todas son buenas noticias. La deshispanización del capital de las operadoras hispanas, la desespañolización de la televisión y la tecnoerosión que amenaza con la pérdida de centralidad de la televisión en el sistema mediático, aparecen como los principales escollos. The Spanish television market in the U.S. is shifting in several ways. Despite being an expanding market, all the news is not good for Spanish TV. Some of the important hurdles it faces include the following: Firstly, capital investments and station ownership is no longer only hispanic; Secondly, TV content is being "Anglicized"; and lastly, technoerosion threatens to displace TV from the media's center stage. En la televisión generalista hertziana la pugna se reduce a cuatro canales: Univision, Telemundo, Azteca America y TeleFutura Telemundo es la segunda cadena en importancia dentro del mercado de televisión en español en EEUU TeleFutura tiene vocación de capturar al target joven y, según datos de Nielsen, tiene el público más joven de las cuatro cadenas nacionales en español Las versiones en español de Fox Sports, MTV, Discovery Channel y CNN figuran entre las diez primeras ofertas de mayor penetración en los hogares hispanos con cable El lanzamiento en la lengua de Cervantes de Fox Sports, a finales de 1996, la sitúa como pionera en un recorrido que seguirán otras cadenas originariamente anglófonas La última transmutación de MTV tr3s la convirtió en una señal en la que domina la expresión en inglés, pero preñada de términos y sentencias en español brought to you by CORE View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk

Genetic testing (GT) for health purposes has grown exponentially in the past decade, with the ability to prescribe precision medicine regiments as well as preventative and preparatory actions. White and English-speaking populations have largely benefited from GT, leaving other groups, like Latinx populations, behind. Explanations for this disparity have cited a lack of awareness and knowledge of GT for health purposes but have generally only been studied in clinical settings. Mass and news media have virtually ignored this disparity. English-language news coverage of GT for health purposes has linked coverage to views of genetic determinism. Spanish-language news coverage of GT for health purposes has cited no published data, thus the current study is the first to characterize health-focused articles on GT from two U.S. Spanish-language news outlets, Telemundo and Univision. From March 2008 to August 2020, we identified only 49 published stories on health-focused stories on GT. Stories focused mostly on cancer and fertility types of GT and often did not attribute an author to the story. Spanish-language coverage is limited and may be contributing to the lack of knowledge of GT for health purposes. We offer potential future research opportunities in genomics from a mass media perspective.

Sesame Street encapsulates the relationship between social activism and diverse media representation. In 1971, when Emilio Delgado (1940-2022) was cast as Luis, TV and film opportunities for Latinx were mostly “banditos [sic, bandidos], gang members, low-life characters, and sleepy Mexican under a cactus. But I was part of several groups of Chicanos and Latinos that came together to protect that. We were meeting with producers and directors and big honchos in Hollywood, telling them, ‘you’ve got to look at us like people. There are doctors and teachers in our community, but we are not being represented that way’” (Davis 230-1). Artists like Delgado exemplify a continental community consciousness bent on promoting education and narrowing the achievement gap for all children (Cooney 13).

La presente colaboracion intenta definir a traves de un caso de estudio la importancia que adquieren en la actualidad las politicas de comunicacion. Por ello se presta especial atencion a la existencia de leyes que afecten al sector de las comunicaciones, particularmente en lo concerniente a la estructura de la propiedad de las empresas que actuan en este campo. El caso de estudio propuesto es la formacion de un coloso radiofonico como Clear Channel Communications consecuencia de la aprobacion de la Ley de Telecomunicaciones de 1996 en Estados Unidos. Esta ley, entre otras medidas, eliminaba virtualmente cualquier restriccion a la propiedad en el mercado radiofonico estadounidense. Un ejemplo claro de como la legislacion comunicativa puede delinear los limites de actuacion de las empresas de comunicacion, o permitir su concentracion, y en definitiva, la reduccion de! pluralismo.

In this article we offer a detailed examination of CNN's documentary Latino in America and of the ways in which a particular group of viewers responded to it. Our goal is to show how we can explore the nature of hegemonic processes in a way that more fully incorporates the role of material reality in the reproduction of a particular social order. Thus, our analysis will shed light on how the material conditions of a specific segment of the Latino population interact with the dominant representations of this group in ways that need further exploration. As this analysis shows, a closer look at this interaction reveals that the embracement*or not*of the ideological messages embedded in a particular text is not only based on the rhetorical aspects of these messages, but also on the extent to which their implications are in consonance with the material needs, wants, and priorities of those interpellated by it.

Hispanic/Latinos became the second largest ethnic group surpassing African Americans in 2003, however political and voting power has not grown in proportion to numeric growth. Hispanic/Latinos are subject to nearly the same rates of excessive police force as African Americans and yet there is less resistance from the U.S. Hispanic/Latino community. Internal divisions within the community derived from country of origin, language limitations, and immigration status have impeded a unified response. The Hispanic/Latino community could benefit from forming closer ties, seeing the intersectionality of socio-injustice that impacts both communities, and learning from the successive resistance of the African American community who have forged a more unified front through the common bond from a history of resistance against slavery and the civil rights movement. Dr. Martin Luther King and others helped to create a common narrative from the biblical theme of the exodus of the Israelites from bondage in Egypt--a common narrative that the U.S. Hispanic-Latino community lacks. In sum, in spite of its number growth the Hispanic -Latino community can benefit collaborating and learning from the resistance of the African American community.

FEMINISTA FREQUENCIES: TUNING IN TO CHICANA RADIO ACTIVISM IN THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST, 1975-1990 My study fashions an innovative theoretical and methodological approach to the first study of farmworker women, technology, and media within community radio institutions. Radio KDNA in Granger, Washington—the nation’s first full-time Spanish-language noncommercial radio station—serves as a case study of Chicana/o-controlled Spanish-language community radio. Thematically, my research examines community radio broadcasting as a site of strategic intervention and political mobilization for Chicana/o producers and audiences. Noncommercial radio served as a cultural force in the late 1970s and through the 1980s to communicate with and mobilize local migrant farmworkers through culturally relevant Spanishlanguage programming. Chicana/o movement activists in rural central and eastern Washington used community radio as a tool for community building and social justice work. A study of KDNA provides ...

Documento de Trabajo Los latinos y las industrias culturales en español en Estados Unidos Real Instituto Elcano-2015 página | 5 10 En 1942 EEUU y México firmaron este programa de acuerdo laboral temporal para suplir la demanda de mano de obra durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial, trasladando miles de campesinos mexicanos para trabajar en las plantaciones de California. El programa se amplió a otras áreas del país extendiendo el mercado laboral agrícola. 11 Como explica Yúdice (2009), después de que en 1965 la Ley Hart-Celler eliminara las cuotas migratorias, en el censo de 1970 se usó la categoría Hispanics para etiquetar a los grupos provenientes de países latinoamericanos. 12 Algunas teóricas demográficas apuntan a condiciones geopolíticas que combinan factores de expulsión y expulsión (pull/ push factors) de trabajadores migrantes internacionales entre países periféricos y centrales. 13 Estos datos se obtienen de la revisión estadística de varios años del censo del gobierno estadounidense y de los estudios temporales del Pew Hispanic Center citados en la lista de referencias.

Literature can play an important role in shaping our responses to the COVID-19 pandemic. It can offer us significant insights into how individuals treated the trauma of pandemics in the past, and how to survive in a situation beyond our control. Considering the changes and challenges that the coronavirus might bring for us, we should know that the world we are living in today is shaped by the biological crisis of the past. This understanding can help us deal with the challenges in the current pandemic situation. Literature can show us how the crisis has affected the lives of infected individuals. By exploring the theme of disease and pandemic, which is consistent and well-established in literature (Cooke, 2009), we come across a number of literary works dealing with plagues, epidemics and other forms of biological crises. Among the prominent examples of pandemic literature is Albert Camus’s The Plague (1947), narrating the story of a plague sweeping the French Algerian city of Oran....

Race and Media: Critical Approaches offers an unparalleled, inclusive, and intersectional collection of original research presented by 22 scholars in four sections and twenty chapters. This book is unique in its scope and to my knowledge there is no other book on the market that addresses studying race and media like this book. Focusing on a wide range of media through the classic media studies categories of production ("producing and performing race"), representation ("representing race"), and audiences ("consuming and resisting race"), this collection also adds a section on "digitizing race" as digital cultures are so often all of the other categories combined. Moreover, Race and Media highlights the research of a diverse group of scholars whose work deserves wide recognition singly and as a group. Too often our field largely relies on a small set of foundational scholars, many of whom never really wrote about media, thus ignoring the excellent work produced by scholars such as every contributor to this book. In sum, Race and Media is a clarion call to the maturity of this field-we now have foundational, second, third, and fourth generation media scholars whose work on race cannot be ignored.

Nestor Garcia Cancini (nacido en 1939) es un filosofo y antropologo argentino, conocido mundialmente por su concepto de culturas hibridas, a partir del cual da cuenta de procesos socioculturales en los que distintas practicas que existian en forma disgregada se combinan para generar nuevas estructuras. Actualmente es profesor e investigador en la Universidad Autonoma Metropolitana de Mexico y dirige el Programa de Estudios de Cultura Urbana de esa universidad. Entre otros trabajos, ha publicado los libros Las culturas populares en el capitalismo (1982), Culturas hibridas (1992) -por el cual ha recibido el primer Ibero-American Book Award por el mejor libro acerca de Iberoamerica, elegido por la Latin American Association- y Consumidores y ciudadanos (1995). En esta entrevista habla de las nuevas articulaciones entre consumo y ciudadania, produccion y circulacion de los productos culturales, globalizacion, mercados literarios y el estado actual de la produccion en ciencias sociales, ...

In 2012, scholars discussed the alleged failures of MTV Tr3s (2006–2014), Sí TV (2004–2014), and mun2 (2001–2014), three of the most well-known attempts to reach a bicultural/ bilingual segment of the Latina/o population between 18–34 years of age through cable television. However, when the networks mentioned above ceased producing content in 2014, it was due to a lack of traction rather than a lack of audience. Accordingly, the term “billennial” was introduced to the media industries in 2015 as a way to reach bilingual, bicultural, and (usually) second- or third-generation young Latina/os. In this chapter, I analyze three digital platforms that aim to produce content for bicultural and bilingual millennials: Flama (2013–2016), mitú (2012–), and Pero Like (2016–). By creating content for a billennial audience, these platforms confront hegemonic linguistic ideologies around the use of English, Spanish, and Spanglish that come as a legacy of broadcast media. I am especially interested in how humor is used to critique monolingual norms, normalize code-switching, and reflect on the diversity of accents in Spanish within the context of neutral Spanish (or Walter Cronkite Spanish) being embraced by Spanish-language television.

On the morning of September 19, 1985, an 8.1 magnitude earthquake shocked Mexico City. Approximately 10,000-15,000 people died and hundreds of buildings collapsed. Many representations of this event emerged in the aftermath. Newspapers, chronicles, testimonials, and photographs were some of the mediums that reported this tragic event, and the most immediate comic book response to the catastrophe was Terremoto 85: Historias reales del dramático suceso (1986). This graphic narrative draws from a long line of Mexican comic books that had promoted conservative cultural values for decades. By portraying the nuclear family as an allegory of the nation, its characters are represented as ignoring-rather than participating in-the sociopolitical upheaval taking place around them. The comic suggests that it is only by embracing normativity and gender norms, as well as by contributing to the procreation and production of the nation, that readers can become exemplary citizens. Furthermore, this graphic narrative shows that only characters depicted as "exemplary" get to have "happy endings." By articulating disaster in this manner, Terremoto 85 obscures the real civil disobedience and direct action that surged after Mexico City's earthquake of 1985. In so doing, the comic book participates in the erasure of well-recorded civil responses to the earthquake. It also demonstrates how national narratives often glorify exemplary citizens and contribute to the exclusion of vulnerable and precarious populations. A careful read of this graphic text can help one examine 20th-and 21st-century national emergencies in Mexico, Latin America, and beyond.

In the 2016 United States presidential election, candidates Trump and Clinton embraced the demands of certain social groups and in this way, politically and symbolically, chose to "own" the social identities of these groups. Trump decided to attack the Latino community, while Clinton positioned herself as an advocate for this community. This article presents the results of a social narrative analysis of the values that Clinton and her team used to reach out to Latino communities during the 2016 election. The Spanish-language messages produced by the Democratic campaign compose the sample, which includes blog posts, Facebook posts, tweets, and television ads. Clinton's campaign produced narratives about who the "good Latinos" are and, consequently, the "good immigrants" while at the same time promoting values such as globalism, cosmopolitanism, and multiculturalism. Paradoxically, these narratives and values failed to portray Latinos' diversity because they left out this community's historical, social, and cultural complexity.

Remaking the nation: identity and politics in Latin America, the collective unconscious flows deep in the asteroid. Continental divide: The values and institutions of the United States and Canada, heliocentric distance indirectly oxidizes tangential endorsement-it is rather an indicator than a sign.

The purpose of this paper is to explain and criticize Fukuyama 's Immigration and Family Values (1993). This paper delves into Fukuyama's proponency of immigration with assimilation by framing the work at hand, summarizing key ideas, evaluating the aim and argument according to ethos, pathos, and logos, exploring the interdisciplinarity, and criticizing. The paper attempts to unravel the gaps in Fukuyama's argument and refuting his concept of democracy and secularism of America, and shed light on modern day struggles of immigrants. By tracing these gaps, in conclusion, the researcher finds that Fukuyama's liberal thoughts on immigration and democracy necessary but relative and idealistic at some points. Understanding these notions leads researchers to see immigration through a different scope and to appreciate the magnitude of addressing this issue.

Accents are products of perception as well as production; it is crucial that accentedness research address teacher discrimination rather than focusing on socalled student "deficiencies." Raciolinguistic ideologies and gender ideologies are factors that can affect teacher perception, interacting together in nuanced, nonadditive ways. This case study employing matched-guise methodology investigates a White ESL teacher's differential ratings of pronunciation based on students' race, gender, and cultural clothing. Results show that clothing helps index figures of personhood that are more than the sum of race and gender ideologies and emphasize that even progressive and linguistically-trained teachers may still engage in biased rating practices. Keywords. raciolinguistic ideologies; gender ideologies; clothing; perception; English as a second language 1. Introduction. Second language acquisition studies investigating language learners' accents have traditionally focused on the production of accent and on accent reduction through pedagogical techniques (e.g., Hişmanoğlu, 2006; Ketabi, 2015; McNulty & Lazarevic, 2012). However, accent is a construct of perception, as well as production. Speech perception is a subjective and imprecise phenomenon, affected by factors as culturally significant as race and gender and as incidental as subconscious triggers (cf. stuffed animal placement in Hay & Drager, 2010). Learners of English are often judged on accent, not only in daily interactions with native speakers of English, but also in the classroom. Such linguistic evaluations tend to privilege the perspective of an imagined White1, monolingual, middle-class listener, or the "white listening subject" (Flores & Rosa, 2015). Previous studies have shown discriminatory effects towards international teaching assistants, but teachers' perception of students is largely unstudied (

This article presents the rst systematic analysis of how U.S. Latino-oriented media cover topics related to health. Speci cally, this article discusses how news about health has been covered in Spanish-language television. Assimilation and pluralism roles attributed to ethnic-oriented media serve as a theoretical framework. The data show that health news broadcast by the major U.S. Spanish-language networks as well as their respective local stations in six cities are characterized by some of the same patterns found in general-market television. However, Spanish-language news media cast the health news in forms that o er some degree of relevance for the Latino audience. The ndings are discussed as well as their implications for health care organizations, professionals, and individuals seeking media exposure or developing marketing campaigns for their respective causes or concerns. Implications for the training of journalists, whether they work for Latinooriented or general-market media, are also discussed. Finally, implications and suggestions for future research on health matters on Latino-oriented media are elaborated.

This essay analyzes the hypermedia staging of the late Puerto Rican boxer and former world champion Héctor "Macho" Camacho (1962-2012) through four decades of sporting and artistic career-80, 90 and 00-where the boxer toured the ring and he entered the world of entertainment as a dancer, entertainer and object of study of special series. The article looks at Camacho's cultural transfiguration, a concept that reinterprets the anthropological notion of cultural transfiguration (Bartolomé, 2008) defined as the process of adopting material and symbolic features of the surrounding society and its reformulation within a new context to do so, intelligible. In the case of Héctor "Macho" Camacho, the socio-cultural contexts and the hypermedia platforms in which his image circulates complicate the transfiguration process. In this way, the inventory of material and / or symbolic features varies, depending on the circularity of this between Puerto Rico and its diasporas, especially New York and Miami, places where the boxer lived part of his life. On the other hand, this project investigates the narratives that occur in spaces that challenge and reproduce simultaneously, class inequality and ethnoracial exclusion of the racialized colonial subject, embodied in the figure of Héctor "Macho" Camacho articulated sometimes Boricua, to sometimes Nuyorican, sometimes Latino, sometimes all of the above

This article examines how the El Rey Network departs distinctively from other competing Latinx television channels catered to the young bicultural and bilingual millennials. The cable network's emphasis on working-class masculinity aims to appeal to the Latino millennials who increasingly identify themselves as the new working class. The deployment of a working-class perspective into its original programing, branding, and aesthetics aspires to offer a televisual space where Latinos can redefine the boundaries of their masculinity stemming from the feminization of labor and economic inequalities under the forces of capitalism. Despite El Rey's desire to provide more visibility and presence of Latino male bodies on television, it adheres to narrow conceptions of machismo that do not speak to the intersectionality of race, ethnicity, gender, class, sexuality, and generational differences that shape the millennial Latinx identity formation. Therefore, the case study of El Rey illustrates how the Latinx television industry has not evolved much as it presents to be. The article also contributes to the ongoing discussion about Latinx television's efforts to construct a cohesive discourse of Latinidad and the complex meanings of race, class, and gender informing the politics of Latino representation.

The portrayal of salsa dance on So You Think You Can Dance relies on stereotypical tropes long employed to depict Latinxs in media and popular culture. Viewers receive these racialized narratives through three lenses: dance performance, reality television, and social media. The show utilizes the commodification of salsa as a cultural product in a neoliberal context to render this imagined version of Latinx identity profitable. This commodification skews the power relationship between those who profit from the culture of marginalized groups and those who create that culture. Yet salsa has powerful meanings beyond the narrow descriptors the show employs.

This paper looks at the historical development of Chicanx communications as an industry and mass media movement with its roots in the United States Chicanx movement, thus seeks to shed light on the symbiotic relationship between both movements, La Causa and Chicanx controlled media. This analysis argues that radio en Español, bilingual radio, community radio, and other means of community-controlled media in the United States contributed directly to Chicanx organizing, mobilization, politics and ideology.

Netflix has been producing a nostalgia subgenre that takes its cues from the visual culture of the past and triggers a form of sentimental longing for the past in the viewer. In shows like The Get Down, Stranger Things, Glow, and Fuller House, narrative elements provoke nostalgia for the ’70s, ’80s, and ’90s. These and other Netflix Originals engage in an aesthetic and politics of viewer reception that projects an image of earlier times and spaces in which the critical historical viewpoint is marginalized in favor of nostos -return—which can also generate retro-futures, the futures that were once imagined in these pasts. Through a critical textual and material analysis of Netflix’s One Day At A Time (ODAAT), this article considers how Netflix capitalizes on a vision of the 1970s as a marketing tactic aimed at attracting a Latina/o audience that revives an older show, creating an emotional atmosphere out of the reception space of fandom itself as viewers’ anxieties about the show’s cancellation and the narrative of saving a show are incorporated into the manipulated aura of the show itself. Originally created by Norman Lear in 1975, this first ODAAT told the story of a divorced working-class white woman from Indianapolis raising strong-willed daughters and of the family’s interactions with the handyman at the building where they lived. Lear revived the show in 2017 and hired writer, actor, editor, and producer Gloria Calderón-Kellet as showrunner and cultural translator. The publicity around the revival leans heavily on the concept that this is a Latina/o remake/reboot/reimagination/twist of the older sitcom. The selling point is to reimagine a show linked to 1970s popular culture through the lens of a 2010s emphasis on diversity. Several deployments of nostalgia produce this effect: the marketing, the fictional in-show narrative, and the real-world storyline produced by the announced possibility of an eventual cancellation of the show that created anxiety among its fans. My interest is to explore whether nostalgia can be deployed as a source of creative renewal and how it functions as a means of critiquing present conditions of production, circulation, and consumption of Latina/o representations.

What image goes through your mind when you think of Latin fruits; mangoes, dragon fruit, bananas, pineapples, papayas? We continually conflate the image of the European-born Carmen Miranda with essential Latina-ness (Ovalle 2011, 49-56). She is consumed repeatedly in our memory as a Latina fruit with Latina flavorings falsely imbued into her flesh. We consume her exoticized body and body parts (hips, arms, bare stomach, and eyes), her dance, her colorful and barbaric costumes, her heavily accented English, and symbolic meaning repeatedly (Ovalle 2011, 49-53). Miranda has become the generic, marketable Latina despite being a Portugueseborn Brazilian immigrant (Ovalle 2011, 50). Carmen Miranda is not the earliest nor the most outlandish Latina consumed by Hollywood, those honors seem to be reserved for Dolores Del Rio (Ovalle 2011, 24-48). Her story, despite her Euro-Brazilian background, is very typical of how Latina images, bodies, and labor are exploited and commodified by US capitalism and how Latinas must negotiate this exploitation and commodification in order to earn a living both on and off screen (Ovalle 2011, 54). Consumption, commodification, and exploitation can and often

The main goal of this dissertation is to demonstrate how the Andalusian accent is very often discriminated through the analysis of several characters from Spanish and the dubbed version in Spanish of foreign media productions. Moreover, variables such as gender and social class are going to be studied, as well as the role which characters play within each production in order to observe differences between them and to establish a pattern. This work will mainly focus on the prejudices against the Andalusian accent, technically known as ​accentism or the discrimination related to the way of speaking depending on geographical and social factors, so it will be deeply analyzed. Furthermore, this project will examine the influence that language has on constructing personal and social identity, and also how and why the Andalusian society has been the centre of mockeries for many centuries. For that reason, stereotypes and judgements generally related to gender and social class, have definitely reached the Andalusian accent and the vision that the rest of the world have of it, and in consequence, the fictional characters who speak with this specific accent. The analysis is based on 29 characters from Spanish and foreign media - only the dubbed version in Spanish. After investigating every character according to the factors cited above, the findings are consistent with the hypothesis previously suggested: the Andalusian accent is unfairly judged because of its constant association with lower social classes and illiteracy. Thus, accentism towards this linguistic variety does exist.

This chapter is the story of my ontological and epistemological journey as a researcher in a study on convivencia —the ideal of living together in harmony in diverse societies—as a technology of modern governmentality in the making of the other in contemporary education in Spain (Hernando-Llorens, 2019). It is the story of learning to do what I was told “good” research was about: letting your data “speak” to theory (Denzin, 2009). This chapter is situated in the “empirical turn” in the postfoundational methodologies in education, without lapsing into empiricism and within the postfoundational and feminist tradition in educational research (Britzman, 1997; Koro-Ljungberg, 2015; Lather, 2009; St Pierre & Pillow, 2000). My research contributes to the call of Elizabeth St. Pierre and Wanda S. Pillow’s (2000) to “work the ruins” after the postmodern and postfoundational shift in educational research in the 1980s and 1990s. I do so by depicting how I got my hands dirty, so to speak, with archival and ethnographic data (interviews, participant observation, focus groups, and so on), a task that was placed in the postmodernism’s empirical turn, “where theoretical concerns increasingly have become expressed in investigations of an empirical kind” (Seidman & Alexander, 2020, p. 23).
