Latino Pop Culture Scholar Dr. María Elena Cepeda, Williams College, presents:
“An Indecent Proposal: Latino Masculinity and College Audience Readings of Latina/o Music Video”
Tuesday, Dec. 1, in 102 Barrett from 2:30 to 3:50 p.m.
Based on collaborative faculty-student research, this presentation addresses questions of Latino masculinity, representation and audience dynamics in the recent music video "Propuesta Indecente" ("Indecent Proposal") by U.S.-Dominican performer Romeo Santos. This research draws on interviews with local college students in order to highlight the often contradictory content of Latina/o music video and the complexity of audience responses to popular media in general.
This event is sponsored by the Department of Spanish and the McCloy Fund.
Refreshments will follow.
