This dissertation focuses on the resistance to Arizona’s law by examining the role of artists in the protest movement. This dissertation examines films, both documentary and narrative; songs and their accompanying music videos; and the Sound Strike boycott of Arizona begun by prominent musicians in order to explore the discourse utilized by these groups in their protest of S.B. 1070. Through an analysis of visuals, narrative structure, lyrics, Facebook posts, and public press conferences, this dissertation argues that these creative productions change the discourse around immigration and undocumented immigrants. Focusing on undocumented immigrants as laborers, parents, and children, these artistic forms of protest create a counternarrative to the dangerous, violent, immigrant evoked by S.B. 1070 supporters. In film, music, and the Sound Strike boycott, artists emphasized the connection between racial profiling in S.B. 1070 to other fights against state surveillance and violence, calling for a multiracial, multiethnic coalition. This dissertation argues that the protests of S.B. 1070 show the opportunities and importance of coalitional building outside of identity groups while simultaneously recognizing that the reliance upon the heteronormative family and gender essentialism limits the protest both in coalitional opportunities and in protecting already marginalized undocumented immigrants. 2017-08-03 English text The Ohio State University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=osu1492606102229575 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=osu1492606102229575 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
