Humor and Latina/o Camp in Ugly Betty : Funny Looking Paperback / softback
by Tanya Gonzalez, Eliza Rodriguez y Gibson
Part of the Critical Studies in Television series
Paperback / softback
Description
Humor and Latina/o Camp in Ugly Betty: Funny Looking expands the vista of critical approaches to comedy and representational politics on mainstream television from an interdisciplinary Latina/o studies approach.
Gonzalez and Rodriguez y Gibson examine how Ugly Betty 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.
Ugly Betty moves beyond the binaries of traditional representational politics and opens a vista of critical possibility applicable to all mainstream texts that portray people of color through comedy.
This work will be of interest to scholars in media studies, Latina/o studies, and communication studies.
