Paul Alonso illuminates the role of online video in filling  gaps in sociopolitical critique left by television, traditional  journalism, and commercial entertainment while exposing some of the  prevalent tensions of the region. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlonso draws on  interviews and analyzes media content to consider some of the most  representative and influential satirical shows born on the internet and  produced in Argentina, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Mexico, and Latinx  communities in the United States. He discusses YouTubers Chumel Torres,  Malena Pichot, Guille Aquino, Joanna Hausmann, and El Cacash; the  Enchufe.tv collective; and the video columnists Maria Paulina Baena from  La Pulla and Mariángela Urbina from Las Igualadas. These creators use  professional and non-mainstream practices and resources to dismantle  fake news, highlight social tensions, and offer in-depth content that  goes beyond confrontational attacks. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn contexts of  highly ideological polarization, Alonso argues, digital satire is a  unique type of hybrid alternative media that can articulate nonpartisan  interpretations of reality while also questioning, deconstructing, and  subverting the authoritative role of media. Satiric voices can offer an  informed, reflexive, argumentative, or historically rooted perspective  that amplifies public discourse and shapes changing notions of  journalism and political communication in democratic societies.   \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA  volume in the series Reframing Media, Technology, and Culture in  Latin\/o America, edited by Héctor Fernández L’Hoeste and Juan Carlos  Rodríguez   \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePublication of this work made possible by a  Sustaining the Humanities through the American Rescue Plan grant from  the National Endowment for the Humanities.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University Press of Florida","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54249186492760,"sku":"9781683404637","price":100.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781683404637_85a8947b-6d56-4d74-9d10-e90450637ab6.jpg?v=1777869912","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/digital-satire-in-latin-america","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
