| contents | Pop latinidad: Puerto Ricans in the latin explosion, 1999 Licia Fiol-Matta Sociología The article compares the media personas and musical performances of two Puerto Rican pop megastars, the Nuyorican Marc Anthony and the island-born Ricky Martin. I argue that both artists actively perform a Latinidad that is consumer-oriented, in which Puerto Ricanness, or better put, their performance of Puerto Ricanness, is fundamental. I relate the artists'commercial success to the general appeal to clichéd visions of local, exotic flavor, in Martin's case, and a weak "Puerto Rican-American" hyphen in Marc Anthony¿s. I also consider the impact of marketing categories on the music itself. Drawing on previous work by scholars in Puerto Rican/Latino Studies, I attempt to make a contribution toward a critique of "consumer ethnicities" and "mapping latinidad" in the U.S. I examine the media coverage during 1999 by drawing on articles in the mass media and on various TV specials aired during 1999 and early 2000. 1 also provide a brief analysis of the crossover CDs that were at the heart of this pop phenomenon. 2002 artículo científico 1538-6279 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=37711290002 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=377 Centro Journal application/pdf The City University of New York Centro Journal (Estados Unidos de América) Num.1 Vol.XIV |
