SynopsisHow creators of online video critique politics and society and amplify public discourse in Latin American countries Thisbook analyzes how digital-native audiovisual satire has becomeincreasingly influential in national public debates within LatinAmerica. Paul Alonso illuminates the role of online video in fillinggaps in sociopolitical critique left by television, traditionaljournalism, and commercial entertainment while exposing some of theprevalent tensions of the region. Alonso draws oninterviews and analyzes media content to consider some of the mostrepresentative and influential satirical shows born on the internet andproduced in Argentina, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Mexico, and Latinxcommunities 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 useprofessional and non-mainstream practices and resources to dismantlefake news, highlight social tensions, and offer in-depth content thatgoes beyond confrontational attacks. In contexts ofhighly ideological polarization, Alonso argues, digital satire is aunique type of hybrid alternative media that can articulate nonpartisaninterpretations of reality while also questioning, deconstructing, andsubverting the authoritative role of media. Satiric voices can offer aninformed, reflexive, argumentative, or historically rooted perspectivethat amplifies public discourse and shapes changing notions ofjournalism and political communication in democratic societies.
