This week we learned of the concept of populism political representation.  When I googled the definition of populism I got a vague answer; “A political approach that strives to appeal to ordinary people who feel that their concerns are disregarded by established elite groups”.  […]

Week 10: Power to the People

If I am to be 100% honest in these blogs, it did take me a good 5 minutes to realize the readings were the same event but from different perspectives. However, I feel that initially that is not how I saw them I kind of had this different perspective on them. When reading each differentContinue reading “Week 10: Power to the People”

Week10: Power to the People

This week’s reading and lecture showed how appliances, such as the microphone and the radio, played a significant role in forming the politics in Latin America. Politicians were able to reach larger audiences more efficiently and civilians were able to view political leaders as closer figures. Out of the four texts Dawson presents of Eva […]

Power to the People and “The Press and Classical Populism in Argentina and Brazil”

In The Press and Classical Populism in Argentina and Brazil (2018), Ariel Alejandro Goldstein explains to readers the way in which the media was used by the government in the populist regimes of Peronism and Vargism, from the 1930s to the 1950s. Since our project will focus primarily on the the Peronist regime in ArgentinaContinue reading “Power to the People and “The Press and Classical Populism in Argentina and Brazil””

Week 10: Power to the People

This week’s reading focused heavily on the role of the media in Latin American politics from the 1920s to the 1950s. It focuses primarily on the influence of radio in three Latin American countries: Mexico, Brazil, and Argentina. With my own modern viewpoint regarding the radio, it’s strange for me to think of it asContinue reading “Week 10: Power to the People”

Week 9: Power to the Audience

As a young adult living in the post-modern age of the 21st century, I have to admit I’m guilty of forgetting that the technology that we harness wasn’t always available to the human population. In fact, most technological advancements, especially pertaining to entertainment and communication, were introduced within the last century or so. Thus, whenContinue reading “Week 9: Power to the Audience”

Week 10: Power to the People

This chapter discusses the creation of national culture, and whether or not it was cohesive or successful. I thought it was really interesting the importance that Dawson placed on the role of the technological advances of radio and photography. In Brazil, authoritarian ruler Getúlio Vargas understood the potential of radio as a means of propaganda, […]
