Avilés-Santiago Arizona State University Estados Unidos [email protected] Abstract: This essay analyzes the hypermedia staging of the late Puerto Rican boxer and former world champion Héctor “Macho” Camacho (1962-2012) through four decades of sporting and artistic career -80, 90 and 00- where the boxer toured the ring and he entered the world of entertainment as a dancer, entertainer and object of study of special series. The article looks at Camacho's cultural transfiguration, a concept that reinterprets the anthropological notion of cultural transfiguration (Bartolomé, 2008) defined as the process of adopting material and symbolic features of the surrounding society and its reformulation within a new context to do so, intelligible. In the case of Héctor “Macho” Camacho, the socio-cultural contexts and the hypermedia platforms in which his image circulates complicate the transfiguration process. In this way, the inventory of material and / or symbolic features varies, depending on the circularity of this between Puerto Rico and its diasporas, especially New York and Miami, places where the boxer lived part of his life.

It may be I’m old-fashioned, but it seems to me today We’re too much bent on having fun to take the time to pray; Each little family grows up with fashions of its own; It lives within a world itself and wants to be alone. It has its special pleasures, its circle, too, of friends; There are no get-together days; each one his journey wends, Pursuing what he likes the best in his particular way, Letting the others do the same upon Thanksgiving Day. I like the olden way the best, when relatives were glad To meet the way they used to do when I was but a lad; The old home was a rendezvous for all our kith and kin, And whether living far or near they all came trooping in With shouts of “Hello, daddy!” as they fairly stormed the place And made a rush for mother, who would stop to wipe her face Upon her gingham apron before she kissed them all, (Photo by Matt Conti) Hugging them proudly to her breast, the grownups and the small.

  • By Nigel Collins a GOD AMONG MORTALS
    t was a difficult decision to make, play softball with my buddies from work or watch MEMORIES OF MARVIN HAGLER Marvelous Marvin Hagler challenge middleweight champion Alan Minter on television. The thorny issue was settled when a teammate somehow jury-rigged a small TV to the battery of his car, which was parked on the stretch of grass where we played. IFor some inexplicable reason that autumn afternoon in 1980 was the first thing that flashed through my mind after learning that Marvin had died, unexpectedly, March 13 at the age of 66. Maybe it was because he made his bones fighting a series of badass Philly middleweights at the Spectrum, located almost within homerun distance from where we clustered around a middle-aged Chevy with a black and white TV on its roof—an echo of the time when folks huddled around a radio to listen to Joe Louis fight. Our game wasn’t delayed for long. Hagler, a savvy, ambidextrous southpaw with a jackhammer punch, stopped Minter in the third round. The quick demise of the Brit sparked a disgraceful racist-fueled riot fermented by drunken thugs among the sellout crowd of 12,000 at London’s Wembley Arena. A fusillade of beer bottles came crashing A GOD into the ring like mortar shells and there were no foxholes in which to hide. AMONG MORTALS By Nigel Collins A GOD AMONG MORTALS What should have been the greatest moment of Hagler’s career turned into a scramble for safety when hooligans and degenerates pelted the ring with gar- bage following Hagler’s stoppage of Alan Minter to win the middleweight title in London in 1980.
