Caribes 2.0: New Media, Globalization, and the Afterlives of Disaster (Global Media and Race)

In Caribes 2.0, author Jossianna Arroyo looks at the Caribbean mediasphere in the twenty-first century. Arroyo argues that we have seen a return to tropes such as blackface, brownface, cultural and ethnic stereotypes, and violent representations of the poor, the marginalized, and the racialized. Caribes 2.0 looks at these tropes as well as the work of writers, vloggers, performers, and photographers that have become media figures or have used new media platforms to promote their work and examines how they are challenging and negotiating these media representations. It analyzes contemporary Caribbean cultures to discuss, taste, guides, and actions (social and virtual) that shape Caribbean global communities today. Departing from Edouard Glissant’s insight that “Caribbean reality might not be accessed by remote control” the book considers what types of political and social agencies are created by mediation. Caribes 2.0 deviates from these historical-globalized views of subjected, colonized Caribbean bodies, and their material conditions, to examine the relationship between the local and the global in contemporary Caribbean cultures, and the role that media is playing in the invisibility or hyper-visibilty of Caribbean cultures in the islands and the U.S. diaspora.

Travestismos culturales analiza cr&#65533;ticamente estos modelos de consenso nacionalista y cultural, que se consolidan en las vanguardias latinoamericanas. a fin de evaluar la intersecci&#65533;n entre raza, g&#65533;nero y sexualidad en la obra de Fernando Ortiz (Cuba), Gilberto Freyre (Brasil) y varias novelas y ensayos desde 1840-1930. En el travestismo cultural los cuerpos negros son el objeto del deseo, pero todav&#65533;a se contienen desde la otredad de la ley social, literaria y textual.
