Unbelonging: Inauthentic Sounds in Mexican and Latinx Aesthetics
Ivàn Ramos, Assistant Professor of Theatre Arts and Performance Studies at Brown University
In what ways can dissonant sounds challenge systems of dominance? Iván Ramos answers these questions and more through an exploration into Mexican and US-based Latinx artists’, writers’, and creators’ use of the discordant sounds of punk, metal, and rock to give voice to the aesthetic of “unbelonging,” a rejection of consumerist and nationalist mentalities. Ultimately, these forms of inauthenticity move beyond negation and become ways to imagine alternative realities.
This event is moderated by Macarena Gomez-Barris, Timothy C. Forbes and Anne S. Harrison University Professor and Chair of Modern Culture and Media at Brown University.
