In doing so, I focus primarily on the authorial role of its editor, Leandro Oberto, and his role as gatekeeper of an emergent subculture in post-dictatorial Argentina. The entrepreneurial, political, and personal agendas of Oberto at this time are demonstrated by samples of his own articles and letters from the editor, as well as accompanying interviews from Argentine news outlets. Selected letters to the editor are also featured in order to reveal Oberto’s engagement with his readership. In order to explore and explain these complex, mediated interactions and the subculture in which they take place, I utilize established concepts of transculturation as coined by Fernando Ortiz. Emphasizing the transactional component of transculturation in a global marketplace, I draw upon newer methodologies put forth by Elizabeth Kath so as to better account for the profit-driven exchange of culture and ideas that occur through media such as television and the internet rather than face-to-face interactions. In doing so, I demonstrate a previously unused application of transculturation which may also be modeled in comparable circumstances involving other media within different localities. I also provide a complement to the overall history of Argentine cinema as adeptly described by Tamara Falicov, whose work denoting the cultural divide between the middle class and working class as evidenced by viewing habits proved insightful. 2019-08-26 English text The Ohio State University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=osu1555429612160638 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=osu1555429612160638 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
