    Politicians on Campaign: Cristina Fernández’s Visual and Discursive Strategies of Persuasion in the Parliamentary Elections of 2017
    Hortiguera, H ; Favoretto, M (University of Texas Press, 2020-06)
    This work analyzes the visual representation that formed part of the electoral campaign of Argentina’s former president Cristina Fernández de Kirchner for the primary and parliamentary elections of 2017, in which she ran for senator from the province of Buenos Aires. From a textual corpus made up of photographic and video images published during the primary campaign (July–August) and the parliamentary campaign (September 17 to October 22), it scrutinizes the iconographic and epistemological potential of the persuasive image at the threshold of a parliamentary election.

    The Construction of Latin American Musical Identity in Melbourne
    Favoretto, M ; Brunt, S ; Stahl, G (Routledge, 2018-01-01)
    Nation-wide Competition Festivals such as Clave Contra Clave may have an important impact on the composition and promotion of Latin American music in Australia, but…which kind of music? Self-branded as a multicultural city, Melbourne is usually promoting live venues and festivals where music bands, self-described as “Latin”, challenge rigid stereotyping by actively constructing an inclusive and varied discourse of identity. Musicians in these bands face the need to express themselves and negotiate their survival in the industry at the same time, an industry that more often than not, dictates them what “latino” music should sound like. Far from finding this an impossible task, local bands formed by a mixture of Latin and non-Latin members, through their linguistic, cultural and musical fusion are creating a new hybrid third space that incorporates market-dictated stereotypes with authentic Latin American traditional sounds and clothes and new global trends. This study explores the discourse of Clave Contra Clave festival and the case of the “Aussie-Latins”, some musicians based in Melbourne, who are committed to the creation of an alternative sound that represents their homelands and at the same time incorporates their new negotiated identities in their current Australian context.

    El Gran Hermano burlado: la neolengua oficial y la neolengua contracultural durante la dictadura militar (1976-1983) en Argentina
    Favoretto, M ; Wilson, T (Revista do Programa de Pós-Graduação em Letras, 2017)
    Argentina’s last military dictatorship (1976–83) attempted a manipulation of language in order to mold the minds of its citizens. Availing itself of a censorship mechanism that seems taken straight from the novel 1984, the regime created a language equivalent to Orwellian Newspeak. Faced with this verbal offensive, rock musicians developed their own language, a system of metaphorically encoded criticism of the military government. This allowed musicians to give the appearance of working with the regime while actually subverting its censorship, a strategy that took the genre to the heights of popular success.

    Luis Alberto Spinetta: Mito y Mitología
    Favoretto, M (Gourmet Musical, 2017)
    La obra poética de Luis Alberto Spinetta, en apariencia, se presenta como un caos indescifrable. Sin embargo, obedece a una estructura coherente, conforme a las cuatro funciones básicas de la mitología (Campbell 1988). Su poesía trata cuestiones existenciales e intenta reconciliar polos opuestos para poner fin a la angustia generada por la separación del hombre del cosmos (Lévi-Strauss 1978). A la vez, la suma del conjunto de su obra, su personalidad carismática, su ética personal y su estética artística sostienen la mitificación de la figura del músico que ha realizado el público en general, quien se identifica con el mito a nivel personal y a la vez, a nivel público como parte de la sociedad a la que pertenece. Este trabajo explora las funciones de la mitología en las canciones de Luis Alberto Spinetta a fin de sugerir una óptica desde donde comenzar a comprender parte de su legado.
