It is also a rare example of a cultural product has travelled through Latin America, leaving a lasting impact for several decades. Resonances of El Chavo del Ocho in Latin American Childhood, Schooling and Societies analyses the phenomenon of El Chavo, and its images of schooling and childhood, Latin American-ness, class and experience. With contributions from scholars based in countries including Brazil, Mexico, Chile, Cuba and Venezuela, the book combines reflections from a variety of international perspectives without attempting to compare or reach consensus on any ultimate meanings of the work. The book explores themes such as images of schooling and childhood, romantization of poverty, the prevalence of non-traditional families and the bordering cynicism towards the economic structures and inequalities which, some argue, make the show transgressive and quite uniquely Latin American. Investigating the connection between visual culture studies and transcultural curriculum studies, this innovative title provides scholars with original new insights into conceptualizing childhood, schooling and society in Latin America."-- Provided by publisher "Explores the influence of the classic television programme El Chavo del Ocho on conceptualizing childhood, schooling and society in Latin America"-- Provided by publisher Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes Print version record SUBJECT Chavo del ocho (Television program) -- Influence Chavo del ocho (Television program) fast Subject Television -- Social aspects -- Latin America Television and children -- Latin America Education -- Social aspects -- Latin America Children -- Latin America -- Social conditions Television broadcasting -- Social aspects -- Latin America Multicultural education.
