Sommario/riassunto |
|
<span><span style=""font-style:italic;"">Humor and Latina/o Camp in Ugly Betty </span><span>expands the vista of critical approaches to comedy and representational politics on mainstream television from an interdisciplinary Latina/o studies approach. Each chapter examines the way the show uses humor and Latina/o camp to reframe socially charged issues on the show: representations of masculinity and familia, immigration, drag and queer subjectivities, Latina sexuality, and finally, a Latina feminist critique of the American Dream. <br /></span></span> |
