  • (Eye)Line(R)?: Makeup and the Consumption of Latina Bodies Amanda L
    Where Do We Draw the (Eye)Line(r)?: Makeup and the Consumption of Latina Bodies Amanda L. Matousek Wofford College Abstract This article examines the social media responses to the marketing of two MAC Cosmetics makeup campaigns inspired by deceased Latinas. The conception and creation of the MAC-Rodarte Juárez collection and the MAC Selena collection represent an awareness of increasing Latinx visibility and buying power in the U.S. However, each exoticizes Latinas and contributes to their social and political invisibility in particular ways. While super- ficially it seems obvious why consumers would reject the Juárez collection and not Selena’s, a more profound analysis within the contexts of body studies and Deborah Paredez’s notion of Selenidad, or the acts of remember- ing Selena, reveals a deeper distinction. That is, the contrast of these MAC makeup campaigns reveals the line between the agency of claiming Latinx memory and identity and a politics of the corpse that banalizes violence and furthers impunity, invisibility, ignorance, and indifference toward real suffering bodies. Introduction Scholars and artists, including Deborah Paredez, Isabel Molina Guzmán, Angharad N. Valdivia, and Coco Fusco, have examined U.S. culture’s hyper-commodification of Latinas, with particular focus on the posthumous fame of icons like Selena Quintanilla, Frida Kahlo, and Evita Perón. In her book, Latinos Inc., Arlene Dávila looks critically at how “Hispanic mar- keting” shapes U.S. Latinidad, or latinness (29). Whether Hispanic marketing is regarded as a Latinxs’1 “coming of age” or a condemnation of “their commodification,” Dávila contends that this “…selling and promoting [of] generalized ideas about ‘Hispanics’ to be readily marketed by corporate America” further alienates them as “…a foreign rather than intrinsic component of U.S.

  • Sport Fishing and Hunting Exhibit
    The Sport Fishing and Hunting Exhibit The Port Aransas Preservation and Historical Association welcomes you to the Port Aransas Museum, and to the panels, objects, and displays of the sport fishing and hunting exhibit. Here is an overview of the exhibit, and a guideline for viewing it. There is commercial fishing, and there is sport fishing. The former is a marine industry geared to providing fish for myriad commercial purposes. Sport fishing, on the other hand, is about relaxation and fun—and sometimes even competition. The long panel above shows the six domains of sport fishing in this area. Commercial fishing Sport fishing While commercial fishing has had—and continues to have—a presence in Port Aransas, sport fishing is unquestionably king. Indeed, it is sport fishing that over a century ago provided the impetus for nothing less than tourism itself, the economic life blood of Port Aransas. The hunting aspect of the exhibit is about recreational (v. commercial—"market") duck hunting. Located in the central flyway, the flats and marshes around Port Aransas are the wintering grounds for untold rafts of redhead, pintail, and bluebill ducks (and others as well). That there is more "fishing" than "hunting" in this exhibit, reflects the greater economic and historical salience of fishing to this community. Market hunting A future recreational duck hunter dreams big! Our sport fishing and hunting histories, narrated and illustrated in chronological order, are presented in panels like this one. The panels begin to your immediate right, then around the second corner (by the hallway), down the long wall, and end on the wall behind you.
