Abstract: Although discussions of punk tend to coalesce around its manifestation in the North Atlantic, recent research and documentary filmmaking have focused on punk as a worldwide phenomenon (Dunn; Patton; Jones and Maas). What largely remains underexplored is the neocolonial cultural politics of its global travels—although O'Connor and Dunn briefly address this. More precisely, turning to Gayatri Spivak's conceptual division in Death of a Discipline, one can ask whether punk is an element of neocolonial globalization, "the imposition of the same system of exchange everywhere" (72), or part of a novel decolonial planetarity, which is "in the species of alterity" (72). As Silvia Rivera Cusicanqui summarizes this division ... Read More PubDate: 2024-05-19T00:00:00-05:00

Abstract: Ya con esta van tres veces, que se ha visto lo bonitoEl "Corrido de Jacinto Treviño" termina de manera épica con la derrota de sus enemigos más numerosos tras varios intentos de acabar con su vida. Hacia el final, con fino albur, Treviño afirma en voz del corridista la impotencia de sus atacantes:Decía Jacinto Treviño,que se arrastraba de risa:A mí los rinches me hicieronlos puños de la camisa.Así ha sucedido con la tradición corridística mexicana. No obstante, los augurios funéreos y las repetidas admoniciones sobre la pérdida de su esencia o pureza, el corrido ha permanecido. A pesar de que en múltiples ocasiones lo han intentado matar (o al menos pronosticado su deceso), el corrido pervive. Y no es que ... Read More PubDate: 2024-05-19T00:00:00-05:00

Abstract: El movimiento de rock en Argentina durante los años de la dictadura militar, 1976–1983, un período de ruptura social y política, fue no solo musical, sino político. Ese movimiento debe interpretarse como una práctica que se esforzó por construir identidades colectivas al mismo tiempo que reclamaba espacios para las relaciones sociales. Debido al contexto político de censura y persecución durante los años 1960 y 1970, las canciones de rock adquirieron un estilo singular y funcionaron como una verdadera "arma de los débiles" (Scott 2008). El arma secreta era un lenguaje codificado, en forma de metáforas, alegorías, sinsentidos e ironías, y resultó ser muy exitoso. El proceso continuo de negociación, disputa y acuerdo ...

Abstract: Across Latin America, football is central to the construction of local, regional, and national identities and vital to their representation abroad. The sport's function as "un espejo en donde verse y ser, al mismo tiempo, mirado" (Alabarces 2018, 194) is best observed during "mega-events" such as the FIFA World Cup or the Olympic Football Tournament, defined as "large-scale cultural events, which have a dramatic character, mass popular appeal and international significance" (Roche 2008, 286). The worldwide audience, intense media interest, and antagonistic structure of such competitions generate potent arenas for the "articulation of a shared national identity" (Podalsky 2015, 8) and a legible "confrontation" ...

Abstract: Yo soy una mezcla de lo que realmente es el Perú.1La historia de "éxito" de Ruby Palomino colmó los periódicos y los medios de comunicación en el Perú tras sus triunfos en los programas de talentos La voz Perú en el 2014 y El artista del año en el 2021. Para alcanzar el triunfo, Palomino presenta una identidad que consta de dos situaciones: su relación y herencia campesina y folclórica tradicional y, a la vez, su cercanía a la metrópolis limeña y al entorno global. En este artículo me interesa analizar tres ejes que utiliza la cantante —una fusión musical, una estética punk-folclórica y un discurso que ensalza su herencia multicultural— para crear el "producto" "Ruby Palomino: una mezcla de lo que realmente es el ...

Abstract: "Preta is accepted by children as well. I'm happy to see blond and blue-eyed little girls passing me on the street and shouting: 'Preta, Preta, you're beautiful!' Who knows, maybe we will bring forth a generation of cool children who can look at a Black person and admire them. In my childhood, I only had Xuxa to admire because of the absence of the reference of a Black woman on TV."1 This is how the actress Taís Araújo described the ways that, through her character of Preta ("Black girl" or "Black woman" in Portuguese) in Da Cor do Pecado, the hegemony of the White ideal of beauty in Brazilian telenovelas was truly challenged for the first time. As Araújo herself was keenly aware in the interview she gave to the ... Read More PubDate: 2024-05-19T00:00:00-05:00

Abstract: Of recent, pawnbrokers have developed into a truly alarming presence in Lima. It would be difficult to find in the world another city like Lima, so favorable to these types of businesses … the pawnbroker should live away from society, closed in his establishment guarding his pawns against a misfortune that could come at any moment to his front door.1In early twentieth-century Lima, modernization, an indigenismo literary movement, and the political problem of incorporating el indio took the national center stage. Banks, insurance, and finance companies were established to support the emergent industrialization of the national economy, yet the local economy continued to engage in traditional forms of financial ...

Abstract: En 1954, Antonio Fuentes, creador de la disquera Discos Fuentes, convocó a Pedro Laza Gutiérrez (Cartagena, 1904–1980), músico de orquestas del Caribe colombiano, para que reuniera músicos con los cuales crear una agrupación. Laza Gutiérrez había trabajado como contrabajista de la Orquesta Fuentes, el conjunto oficial de la disquera en los años cuarenta, especializada en ritmos tropicales colombianos y del Caribe insular.1 La orquesta de Laza personificó un tipo de sonido de la música costeña colombiana de la mitad del siglo XX. Los discos de "los pelayeros" son una bisagra entre un sonido originario y rural —rootsy sound— (Wade Music 158), asociado con las bandas de vientos de las regiones sabaneras del Caribe ...

Abstract: In Carlos Lenzi's tango "A media luz" (1924), auditory references and associations set the stage for a novel sort of social interaction:Corrientes 3, 4, 8,segundo piso, ascensor.No hay porteros ni vecinos.Adentro, cocktail y amor.Pisito que puso Maple:piano, estera y velador,un telefón que contesta,una victrola que lloraviejos tangos de mi flory un gato de porcelanapa' que no maulle al amor.The sensual chiaroscuro ("a media luz," "crepúsculo interior") is complemented by an interplay of sounds and silence ("alfombras que no hacen ruido"), the private assignations abetted by various sonic and sounding devices. The technological and architectural innovations of the urban landscape resonate in the ... Read More PubDate: 2024-05-19T00:00:00-05:00

Abstract: This fascinating collection casts a wide net of investigation. All but two of the essays focus on sports and athletic practices of the twentieth century. Such a proportion could be expected, as most cultural activities studied in this collection are the by-products of modernization and the relative stability that the past century afforded the Latin American countries examined in the volume: Argentina (two essays), Bolivia, Brazil (two essays), Colombia, Mexico, and Panama. The subject matter on the twentieth century is also diverse, ranging from an Argentinean soccer club established in 1904 to a popular sport imported to Brazil from Japan in 1979. After soccer, boxing is the most popular and nationally significant ... Read More PubDate: 2024-05-19T00:00:00-05:00

Abstract: Commodifying Violence explores how the global cultural market has contributed to the dissemination and exploitation of Colombian violence for profit. It illustrates how many cultural producers privilege the darker side of human experience, thereby satisfying the demand coming from global audiences for the spectacularization of grittiness, marginalized subjects, and social inequality. Herrero-Olaizola refers to this phenomenon as the "Colombian condition"; it stands for the inescapability of delivering easily packaged forms of violence powered by market demands, because audiences worldwide prefer to consume stories that fetishize violence rather than explore its more subdued forms that require reflection and greater ...

Abstract: Pastén presenta un estudio que propone una lectura de la poesía y ficción de Roberto Bolaño que sea posmodernista, pero que se aparte de la crítica comúnmente propuesta con respecto al trabajo del chileno.En cuanto al formato y contenido de esta publicación, el texto está constituido por siete capítulos introducidos por una robusta explicación del marco teórico que se va a desarrollar, el cual se basa en dos puntos específicos. Primeramente, busca desarrollar el posmodernismo de la resistencia en la ficción y narrativa de Bolaño al desarraigar una serie de asunciones que han llevado a interpretaciones descontextualizadas de su trabajo. El segundo punto es el desarrollo de un novedoso trabajo investigativo que ... Read More PubDate: 2024-05-19T00:00:00-05:00

Abstract: Este libro, publicado un año después de la muerte de su autor, es un análisis de la obra de una serie de fotógrafos que han intentado plasmar el ambiente urbano de Sao Paulo desde mediados del pasado siglo hasta el presente. Se divide en cuatro bloques temáticos. El primero, titulado "Modernist Discoverers", cubre la primera mitad del siglo XX. El segundo, "Shifting Perspectives", estudia las miradas más innovadoras dirigidas a la ciudad. Tras este, "Megalopolitan Problems" se centra en fotógrafos que denuncian los aspectos conflictivos de la urbe. Por último, el cuarto bloque, titulado "Living Sao Paulo" nos acerca a las imágenes de algunos de sus habitantes, en concreto, de los menos favorecidos.Según el propio ...

Abstract: In The Walls of Santiago, Terri Gordon-Zolov and Eric Zolov offer a bottom-up account of Chile from the estallido social (social explosion)—the wave of mass protests that rocked the South American country starting in October 2019—through the beginning of the global COVID-19 pandemic. To assess this four-month period in Chilean history, the authors, one a literary and gender studies scholar and the other a historian of twentieth-century Latin America, center their book on roughly 150 different works of street art that covered city walls around Santiago in late 2019 and early 2020. One of the authors' goals in focusing on these sources, including graffiti to posters, stencil art, murals, and "paste-ups," is to better ... Read More PubDate: 2024-05-19T00:00:00-05:00
