MORE THAN BIBI, SELENA, JUAN, and VICENTE: MEDIA's RACIAL FORMATION of MEXICAN IMMIGRANTS' GENDER IDENTITY a Dissertation B MORE THAN BIBI, SELENA, JUAN, AND VICENTE: MEDIA’S RACIAL FORMATION OF MEXICAN IMMIGRANTS’ GENDER IDENTITY A Dissertation by ARLETT SOPHIA LOMELI Submitted to the Office of Graduate and Professional Studies of Texas A&M University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Chair of Committee, Rogelio Saenz Co-Committee Chair, Joseph Jewell Committee Members, Holly Foster Sarah Gatson Antonio La Pastina Head of Department, Jane Sell May 2015 Major Subject: Sociology Copyright 2015 Arlett Sophia Lomeli ABSTRACT This dissertation analyzes the gendered racialization of identities of Mexican immigrants in the media and focuses on how newspapers in particular provide a significant platform in which to reinforce, transform and/or challenge historic depictions of immigrant identities. Through the use of the Ethnographic Content Analysis protocol, Critical Discourse Analysis, and the intersectional theories composited by Omi and Winant’s Racial formation theory with Patricia Collin’s family social hierarchies, this dissertation provides a connection of racialization from individual gender depictions and family gender-roles to group generalizations. Selecting three Lower Rio Grande Valley, Texas newspapers, this dissertation examines how urban/rural locations along the U.S. and Mexico border portray Mexican immigrants and immigration policy during the 2012 presidential election. This dissertation recognizes Mexican immigrants’ identity is primarily gender neutral, but once further data is reviewed, women have gained visibility. However, such gendered depictions of both, Mexican immigrant men and women have continued to reinforce the racialized portrayal through their discussed gendered-family and occupational roles. This dissertation explains while men and women are depicted differently, media continues to define Mexican immigrant identity under late capitalism through multi-layered writing techniques (frames, metaphors, and stereotypes), which establish a singular and often one-dimensional identity of minority groups through individual news stories. ii DEDICATION I dedicate my dissertation to my family and friends in the Lower Rio Grande Valley and Mexico who have been there each step of the way during the good, the bad, the ups, and definitely the downs. A special dedication to God, whom without the light provided, I could not shine. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS A very sincere thank you to my committee co-chairs and members, both past and present: Dr. Saenz, Dr. Jewell, Dr. Foster, Dr. Gatson, Dr. La Pastina, Dr. McIntosh, Dr. Portales, and Dr. Ramasubramarian, for their support and encouragement.

  • The Only Defense Is Excess: Translating and Surpassing Hollywood’S Conventions to Establish a Relevant Mexican Cinema”*
    ANAGRAMAS - UNIVERSIDAD DE MEDELLIN “The Only Defense is Excess: Translating and Surpassing Hollywood’s Conventions to Establish a Relevant Mexican Cinema”* Paula Barreiro Posada** Recibido: 27 de enero de 2011 Aprobado: 4 de marzo de 2011 Abstract Mexico is one of the countries which has adapted American cinematographic genres with success and productivity. This country has seen in Hollywood an effective structure for approaching the audience. With the purpose of approaching national and international audiences, Meximo has not only adopted some of Hollywood cinematographic genres, but it has also combined them with Mexican genres such as “Cabaretera” in order to reflect its social context and national identity. The Melodrama and the Film Noir were two of the Hollywood genres which exercised a stronger influence on the Golden Age of Mexican Cinema. Influence of these genres is specifically evident in style and narrative of the film Aventurera (1949). This film shows the links between Hollywood and Mexican cinema, displaying how some Hollywood conventions were translated and reformed in order to create its own Mexican Cinema. Most countries intending to create their own cinema have to face Hollywood influence. This industry has always been seen as a leading industry in technology, innovation, and economic capacity, and as the Nemesis of local cinema. This case study on Aventurera shows that Mexican cinema reached progress until exceeding conventions of cinematographic genres taken from Hollywood, creating stories which went beyond the local interest. Key words: cinematographic genres, melodrama, film noir, Mexican cinema, cabaretera. * La presente investigación fue desarrollada como tesis de grado para la maestría en Media Arts que completé en el 2010 en la Universidad de Arizona, Estados Unidos.

  • “Golden Age”: Sônia Braga, Gael García Bernal, and Ricardo Darín
    New Latin-American Stardom, the local/global stars of Latin American Cinema’s new “Golden Age”: Sônia Braga, Gael García Bernal, and Ricardo Darín Dolores Tierney, Victoria Ruétalo and Roberto Carlos Ortiz Editors’ Introduction The Latin American star system, like that in other regions, has emulated the Hollywood model in large measure because of its power to mobilize movie-going audiences. Various contributors to this collection have underscored particular ways in which regional film cultures have borrowed certain of Hollywood’s strategies to promote local star culture. Maite Conde’s discussion of fan magazines in Brazil in the 1920s (see Chapter 5), for instance, provides an early example of the ways the Hollywood star paradigm self-consciously served local interests in shaping a Brazilian national audience. Similarly, in Chapter 23 Alejandro Kelly’s focus on photography in star construction and the commercial promotion of particular stars helps us better appreciate the rich visual influence of cinema in shaping popular tastes and commodity culture in the region. In recent decades, with seminal works by Viera, López, Paranaguá and Tuñón, Latin American star studies have expanded their scope, generating sophisticated discourses on the ways in which individual stars maneuver their celebrity persona within the social, cultural and even moral projects of national and transnational communities. The authors of this chapter argue for a substantive alteration of that meta-discourse on stardom in which key Latin America actors are seen as not merely as ‘star texts’ but, to extend the metaphor, as centers of 1 ‘constellations’ of intermedial artistic and market networks in ways that transcend their status as mere entertainers.
