El rock mexicano
María del Carmen de la Peza concibe el rock como un fenómeno sociocultural y político complejo, en el que participan actores y espectadores en el espacio público mediante la acción y el discurso. En este sentido, el rock constituye un espacio fértil para explorar la emergencia de los roqueros como sujetos políticos y las relaciones conflictivas de los sujetos —de clase, raza, género y generación— entre sí y con los poderes constituidos. Para comprender la relación entre comunicación y poder, a diferencia de la mayoría de estudios centrados en los medios masivos de comunicación, la autora presta atención al "murmullo social" del rock que, como espacio de deliberación pública, acción concertada y dispositivo de almacenamiento de la memoria colectiva, es un espacio privilegiado de la política. Así, descartando una lectura complaciente, el libro expone los claroscuros del rock mexicano, al mismo tiempo que reconoce su papel en la emergencia de discursos y sujetos desde siempre silenciados.
Post-Popular Cultures and Digital Capitalism in Latin America
In this book, renowned Latin American intellectuals, Pablo Alabarces and Néstor García Canclini, bring us up to date on the changes in the status and role of the popular classes in Latin American democracies over the past two decades. Building on decades-long research and experience in the field of cultural studies, the authors ask how the digitalization and economization of society are changing the reality of political participation and social inequality in Latin America and beyond, leading to new forms of economic and cultural marginalization. García Canclini focuses on the rapid digitalization of our society and economies, ruminating over the future of political participation and democ...
Romancing Yesenia
One of the Best Scholarly Books of 2023, The Chronicle of Higher Education A free ebook version of this title is available through Luminos, University of California Press's Open Access publishing program. Visit www.luminosoa.org to learn more. This book follows the production, transnational circulation, and reception of the highest grossing film in the history of Soviet exhibition, the 1971 Mexican romance Yesenia. The film adaptation of a telenovela based on a wildly popular graphic novel set during the Second Franco-Mexican War became a surprise hit in the USSR, selling more than ninety million tickets in the first year of its Soviet release alone. Drawing on years of archival research, renowned film scholar Masha Salazkina takes Yesenia’s unprecedented popularity as an entry point into a wide-ranging exploration of the cultures of Mexico and the Soviet Union in the 1970s and of the ways in which popular culture circulated globally. Paying particular attention to the shifting landscape of sexual politics, Romancing "Yesenia" argues for the enduring importance and ideological ambiguities of melodramatic forms in global popular media.
Agustin Lara
"Andrew Wood masterfully interweaves the many legends about the musician-poet Agustin Lara with solid historical facts, painstakingly documenting his rise from a hopeless romantic bordello-pianist to the world's most renowned bolero composer."--Cover, page [4].
Cultural Nationalism and Ethnic Music in Latin America
Music has been critical to national identity in Latin America, especially since the worldwide emphasis on nations and cultural identity that followed World War I. Unlike European countries with unified ethnic populations, Latin American nations claimed blended ethnicities—indigenous, Caucasian, African, and Asian—and the process of national stereotyping that began in the 1920s drew on themes of indigenous and African cultures. Composers and performers drew on the folklore and heritage of ethnic and immigrant groups in different nations to produce what became the music representative of different countries. Mexico became the nation of mariachi bands, Argentina the land of the tango, Brazil the country of Samba, and Cuba the island of Afro-Cuban rhythms, including the rhumba. The essays collected here offer a useful introduction to the twin themes of music and national identity and melodies and ethnic identification. The contributors examine a variety of countries where powerful historical movements were shaped intentionally by music.
Cinesonidos
During Mexico's silent (1896-1930) and early sound (1931-52) periods, cinema saw the development of five significant genres: the prostitute melodrama (including the cabaretera subgenre), the indigenista film (on indigenous themes or topics), the cine de añoranza porfiriana (films of Porfirian nostalgia), the Revolution film, and the comedia ranchera (ranch comedy). In this book, author Jacqueline Avila looks at examples from all genres, exploring the ways that the popular, regional, and orchestral music in these films contributed to the creation of tropes and archetypes now central to Mexican cultural nationalism. Integrating primary source material--including newspaper articles, advertisem...

Mujeres y saberes digitales
Mujeres y saberes digitales describe y analiza las estrategias de alfabetización y apropiación digital, así como los temas centrales de trabajo, que diferentes colectivos abordan para promover el desarrollo de habilidades cognitivo-críticas y comunicativas. Para ello, se reconoce una agenda centrada en la alfabetización digital de mujeres, pues sus talleres y cursos responden a las necesidades concretas que han identificado en los grupos con los que trabajan. El acercamiento que hacen las mujeres para compartir sus saberes digitales se hace desde una pedagogía feminista, lo que les permite construir de manera colectiva. Las reflexiones que aquí se articulan giran en torno al desarrollo de habilidades en tres niveles: instrumental, cognitivo-crítico y comunicativo.
