Jossianna Arroyo’s Caribes 2.0: New Media, Globalization, and the Afterlives of Catastrophe might be revealed by Rutgers College Press in April 2023.
Description: In Caribes 2.0, creator Jossianna Arroyo appears to be like on the Caribbean mediasphere within the twenty first century. Arroyo argues that we have now seen a return to tropes comparable to blackface, brownface, cultural and ethnic stereotypes, and violent representations of the poor, the marginalized, and the racialized. Caribes 2.0 appears to be like at these tropes in addition to the work of writers, vloggers, performers, and photographers which have turn out to be media figures or have used new media platforms to advertise their work and examines how they’re difficult and negotiating these media representations. It analyzes modern Caribbean cultures to debate, style, guides, and actions (social and digital) that form Caribbean world communities at present.
Departing from Edouard Glissant’s perception that “Caribbean actuality won’t be accessed by distant management” the ebook considers what kinds of political and social companies are created by mediation. Caribes 2.0 deviates from these historical-globalized views of subjected, colonized Caribbean our bodies, and their materials situations, to look at the connection between the native and the worldwide in modern Caribbean cultures, and the function that media is enjoying within the invisibility or hyper-visibilty of Caribbean cultures within the islands and the U.S. diaspora.
Jossianna Arroyo is a professor within the Division of Spanish and Portuguese and the Division of African and African Diaspora on the College of Texas, Austin. She is creator of Travestismos culturales: literatura y etnografía en Cuba y Brasil and Writing Secrecy in Caribbean Freemasonry.
