Dangerous Curves traces the visibility of the Latina body in the media and popular culture by analyzing a broad range of popular media including news, media gossip, movies, television news, and online audience discussions.Isabel Molina-Guzmán maps the ways in which the Latina body is gendered, sexualized, and racialized within the United States media using a series of fascinating case studies. The book examines tabloid headlines about Jennifer Lopez?s indomitable sexuality, the contested authenticity of Salma Hayek?s portrayal of Frida Kahlo in the movie Frida, and America Ferrera?s universally appealing yet racially sublimated Ugly Betty character. Dangerous Curves carves out a mediated terrain where these racially ambiguous but ethnically marked feminine bodies sell everything from haute couture to tabloids.Through a careful examination of the cultural tensions embedded in the visibility of Latina bodies in United States media culture, Molina-Guzmán paints a nuanced portrait of the media?s role in shaping public knowledge about Latina identity and Latinidad, and the ways political and social forces shape media representations. 410 0$aCritical cultural communication. 606 $aHispanic American women in mass media 606 $aPopular culture$zUnited States 606 $aMass media and minorities$zUnited States 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aHispanic American women in mass media. 615 0$aPopular culture 615 0$aMass media and minorities 676 $a302.2308968/073 700 $aMolina-Guzma?n$b Isabel$01042291 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910456562603321 996 $aDangerous curves$92466419 997 $aUNINA
