El Chavo del Ocho is one of the most influential pieces of popular
culture to have hit Latin America in the last 50 years, having, at
the peak of its popularity in the mid-1970s, reached an approximate
audience of 350 million across the Americas. It is also a rare
example of a cultural product that has travelled through Latin
America, leaving a lasting impact for several decades. Resonances
of El Chavo del Ocho in Latin American Childhood, Schooling, and
Societies analyses the phenomenon of El Chavo, and its images of
schooling and childhood, Latin American-ness, class and experience.
With contributions from scholars emerging from or based in
countries including Brazil, Mexico, Chile, Puerto Rico, Argentina,
Venezuela, Colombia and the US, the book combines reflections from
a variety of international perspectives without attempting to
compare or reach consensus on any ultimate meaning(s) of the work.
The book explores themes such as images of schooling and childhood,
romantization of poverty, the prevalence of non-traditional
families and the bordering cynicism towards the economic structures
and inequalities which, some argue, make the show transgressive and
quite uniquely Latin American. Investigating the connection between
visual culture studies and transcultural curriculum studies, this
innovative title provides scholars with original new insights into
conceptualizing childhood, schooling and society in Latin America.
