{"title":"Charytín Goyco, la rubia de América: A Case Study of Television Stardom in the Dominican Republic in the 1970s","authors":"Danny Méndez","doi":"10.7560/SLAPC3303","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.7560/SLAPC3303","url":null,"abstract":"This essay explores the complex relationship between race and class in the formation of a very specific and enduring notion of Dominican televisual stardom stemming from the late 1970s. My point of analysis centers on Charytín Goyco (known affectionately as “the blonde bombshell of America”), whose career as a singer, actress, and television personality commenced in the Dominican Republic in the early 1970s and then continued in Puerto Rico and, subsequently, in Miami. Throughout this essay I explicate how Goyco’s rise to fame was, to some degree, made possible by the political and social media framework set in the Dominican Republic under the presidential administrations of Joaquín Balaguer, who served three terms during the years of 1960–1962, 1966–1987, and 1986–1996. Paying particular attention to Goyco’s evolution as a televisual persona, I argue that her television personality is a site of contradictory interpretations if we are to understand the specific places of power, race, and class that have been afforded her.","PeriodicalId":53864,"journal":{"name":"STUDIES IN LATIN AMERICAN POPULAR CULTURE","volume":"33 1","pages":"27 - 40"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2015-05-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.7560/SLAPC3303","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"71339666","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Un pájaro progresivo: Pop Music, Propaganda, and the Struggle for Modernity in Argentina","authors":"Timothy H. Wilson","doi":"10.7560/SLAPC3307","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.7560/SLAPC3307","url":null,"abstract":"In the mid-1960s to mid-1970s, North America and Western Europe became cemented as modern liberal democracies, increasingly emphasizing civil liberties, individualism, egalitarianism, and diversity. In the Southern Cone those same modernizing tendencies faced strong opposition from the landed elite and the military, who targeted the counterculture’s young people and staged numerous coups in an attempt to turn back the clock. The propaganda of Argentina’s brutal and humorless Proceso dictatorship attempted to recreate an imaginary past, a caricature of classic ideals such as el ángel del hogar and the Latin Honor Code. But its repressive machinery was countered by another “machine,” a rock band headed by Charly García called La Máquina de Hacer Pájaros, who combined music, film, comics, and pop culture icons in a witty discourse that subtly contradicted that of the military government, at a time when any dissent was extremely dangerous. La Máquina, which cartoonist and García contemporary “Crist” described as “un pájaro progresivo,” deconstructed the regime’s authoritarian discourse, reconstructing in its place a lyrical depiction of liberal democratic ideals.","PeriodicalId":53864,"journal":{"name":"STUDIES IN LATIN AMERICAN POPULAR CULTURE","volume":"33 1","pages":"107 - 89"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2015-05-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.7560/SLAPC3307","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"71339810","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Art and Social Movements: Cultural Politics in Mexico and Aztlán by Edward J. McCaughan (review)","authors":"Eduardo Santa Cruz","doi":"10.5860/choice.50-1788","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.5860/choice.50-1788","url":null,"abstract":"In the midto late 1970s, Cullen reports, Ferrer’s installations “included various elements: faces, maps, kayaks, and sculptural constructions, as well as iconic neon or painted words, and often a tarp or painted tent-like form” (73). His work increasingly included references to the Caribbean, in what some characterized as a “tropicalist” style (75). Ferrer continued to make major paintings during this period, though critics often characterize this work as a digression from his more important conceptualist and performative pieces. His latest works are highly playful, often taking the form of words on small blackboards and installations using words. Although Cullen carefully chronicles the life of Ferrer, this book falls short of offering any detailed analysis of the works of art. Instead, Cullen has produced a meticulous biography of Rafael Ferrer—a service that will doubtless be invaluable for any future analysis of this monumental figure. Throughout the text, Cullen does obliquely refer to the institutional prejudices that befell the Caribbean artist in both Puerto Rico and the United States, but these mentions never develop into an analysis of any depth. This is particularly lamentable because the book explains neither why Ferrer has been excluded from canons nor how the artist influenced peer participants in the process and conceptual movements, as well as later neo-expressionists. One area given short shrift is the artist’s recent body of works from the 2000s, in which Ferrer executed small-scale gouache paintings involving text. Like Ferrer’s own turn to neo-expressionism (there is little mention of postmodern painting or pastiche in this book), this set of paintings shows a prescient awareness of the so-called linguistic turn. This work would have provided a magnificent opportunity to interpret a Ferrer as a deconstructionist—indeed, deconstruction is a vital poststructural discourse rarely extended to artists from Latin American countries. Nevertheless, Cullen does a major job putting together the biography of a highly neglected yet outstanding talent. This book, with excellent illustrations, will prove an important resource for future generations of scholars, and aside from exhibition catalogs, it presently serves as the most authoritative text on Ferrer.","PeriodicalId":53864,"journal":{"name":"STUDIES IN LATIN AMERICAN POPULAR CULTURE","volume":"32 1","pages":"164 - 166"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2014-05-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"71139964","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Como regla, no se la incluye cuando se habla de la música popular uruguaya o de la cultura popular en general, y aun menos de la cultura nacional. En parte, ello se debe al concepto de cultura y de lo popular imperantes, a la noción del apagón cultural—que coincide con el auge de la música tropical—y al rechazo de la clase intelectual hacia una expresión cultural sobre la que se proyectan todos los vicios. Debajo de ese desinterés y menosprecio operan prejuicios elitistas y eurocéntricos que hunden sus raíces en paradigmas decimonónicos, y aun previos, que hizo suyos la dictadura y perduran en post-dictadura, que históricamente han dado la espalda a las expresiones nativas y afro-latinoamericanas que apuntan en dirección de otra idea de América. A su modo, la música tropical contrarió y aún perturba el modelo civilizatorio actual.

O toré é uma dança ritualizada presente nas culturas de muitos dos povos indígenas do região Nordeste brasileiro, como é o caso dos aqui estudados. Em diferentes ocasiões, costuma ser utilizado como instrumento de afirmação étnica, demarcando fronteiras entre índios e não índios. Fronteiras que se apresentam como bastante tênues, uma vez que boa parte dos indígenas dessa região é do tipo “integrado”, ou seja, índios que, tendo passado por um forte e longo processo de mestiçagem, perderam a língua nativa e, nos dias atuais, em praticamente nada se diferenciam da sociedade nacional. Entende-se assim que o toré dos Tapeba é gerado em um contexto cultural híbrido e que, por exercer diversas funções dentro daquela comunidade, para ser bem entendido, necessita ser observado sob os seguintes focos de abordagem: as relações de poder, a construção social da realidade, a invenção das tradições, a performance ritual e o próprio corpo tapebano como produto e produtor da comunicação e da cultura.","PeriodicalId":53864,"journal":{"name":"STUDIES IN LATIN AMERICAN POPULAR CULTURE","volume":"32 1","pages":"120 - 136"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2014-05-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"71339559","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
