Popular Culture in Latin America
Popular culture in Latin America includes expressions like salsa, samba, religious rituals, masks, weaving, and oral stories that originate from subordinate classes.

Popular culture offers alternative ways of life and identity compared to Western culture. Mass media like radio, television, and telenovelas act as a bridge between traditional and modern aspects of society. Popular culture can be a site of resistance and

Tango and National Identity
This document discusses the relationship between tango music and national identity in Argentina from the 1940s-present. It describes how tango originated in Buenos Aires and became popularized under Juan Peron's nationalist government. Peron recognized tango's power to unite Argentines and spread ideas of Hispanic Catholic values and social justice. The styles of tango music expanded over time, and contemporary artists have introduced new electronic forms of tango while still celebrating its cultural roots.
Communication, culture, hegemony 2
The document discusses Jesús Martín Barbero's analysis of nationalism and modernization in Latin America. It outlines three main points:
1. Urban growth led to mass societies with social classes in conflict with dominant sectors.
2. Countries pursued modernization through industrialization, creating an internal market, employment, and infrastructure development. This led to new forms of nationalism focused on assimilation or highlighting uniqueness.
3. Populism was used by some states to incorporate masses into the nation and legitimize state power, often controlling politics at the expense of civil society. Case studies of Brazil, Mexico, and Peronism in Argentina are discussed.
Communication, culture, hegemony 1
This document summarizes Jesús Martín Barbero's discussion of modernization, culture, and hegemony in Latin America. [1] Originally unified under Spanish colonial rule, Latin American nations dispersed after independence in the 19th century. [2] They re-unified through 1930s industrial modernization and international trade, requiring integrated national markets dependent on international demands. [3] This resulted in political-economic dependency, unequal development, and basic inequality, producing a "discontinous modernity" characterized by backwardness from historical circumstances rather than cultural differences.
Roots of independence
The document summarizes the Wars of Independence in Spanish America that led to the creation of independent nation-states from the former Spanish viceroyalties. It describes the political and social events in both Spain/Europe and Spanish America in the late 18th-early 19th centuries that prompted independence movements, including the Bourbon Reforms, Napoleon's invasion of Spain, and Creole discontent in America. It then outlines the first phase of independence movements from 1810-1815 led by figures like Simón Bolívar and José de San Martín and the second phase from 1816-1821 that led to new nations like Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, Argentina, Chile, Peru, and Mexico gaining independence.
Realismo y naturalismo
Este documento resume los movimientos literarios del realismo y el naturalismo en la cuentística hispanoamericana del siglo XIX. Menciona autores clave como Balzac, Cuéllar y Palliere que exploraron el realismo, así como las ideas de Zola sobre el naturalismo como retrato de la sociedad a través de la ciencia y la observación de la realidad social. Finalmente, analiza dos cuentos del siglo XIX, "San Antoñito" de Carrasquilla y "Metamorfosis" de Payró, como ejemplos del natural
Del costumbismo al criollismo
Este documento resume las características del romanticismo hispanoamericano a través del costumbrismo, el criollismo y la búsqueda de una identidad nacional.

El matadero
Este documento resume el cuento romántico en Hispanoamérica, definiendo el cuento, describiendo las características del romanticismo hispanoamericano y analizando el cuento fundacional "El matadero" de Esteban Echeverría. El romanticismo hispanoamericano se caracterizó por el individualismo, los ideales republicanos y la melancolía rebelde. "El matadero" fue una sátira política publicada en 1871 que utilizó elementos grotescos y naturalistas para exaltar el nacionalismo a través de la tragedia de su héroe.
The Popol Vuh and its Legacy
The Council Book is a Quiché Mayan text from around 1550 that details the creation of the world and the defeat of the Lords of Xibalbá by the Hero Twins. It was originally part of an oral tradition and later written down in the Quiché language using the Latin alphabet. In the early 1700s, Francisco Ximénez copied the manuscript and it was later translated into German and French in the 19th century.
