The Routledge Companion to Gender, Sex and Latin American Culture
is the first comprehensive volume to explore the intersections
between gender, sexuality, and the creation, consumption, and
interpretation of popular culture in the Americas. The chapters
seek to enrich our understanding of the role of pop culture in the
everyday lives of its creators and consumers, primarily in the 20th
and 21st centuries. They reveal how popular culture expresses the
historical, social, cultural, and political commonalities that have
shaped the lives of peoples that make up the Americas, and also
highlight how pop culture can conform to and solidify existing
social hierarchies, whilst on other occasions contest and resist
the status quo. Front and center in this collection are issues of
gender and sexuality, making visible the ways in which subjects who
inhabit intersectional identities (sex, gender, race, class) are
"othered", as well as demonstrating how these same subjects can,
and do, use pop-cultural phenomena in self-affirmative and
progressively transformative ways. Topics covered in this volume
include TV, film, pop and performance art, hip-hop, dance, slam
poetry, gender-fluid religious ritual, theater, stand-up comedy,
graffiti, videogames, photography, graphic arts, sports spectacles,
comic books, sci-fi and other genre novels, loteria card games,
news, web, and digital media.
