Abstract:

This paper aims to determine why Chilean fans of K-pop enjoy the incompatible aesthetics of K-pop idols. It will analyze the variation of the ideal of beauty according to socioeconomic level in Chile and fans’ perception of the beauty canons of K-pop. Hypothesizing that the relationship between race (rather skin color) and class in Chile affects K-pop consumption, this study will delve into why the canon of beauty attracts Chilean fans, despite the contrast that exists with the Chilean canon of male beauty. Latin American culture is constituted by sexual roles marked and determined by gender (Cristián Valenzuela 2015); these roles perpetuate male superiority based on the figure of the male. Specifically, the hegemonic masculinity present in the region stands out for having such characteristics as strength, rationality, seriousness, domination, heterosexuality, and sexual activity. Asians are often called Chino, and K-pop fans are considered strange. Though Chileans tend to conflate all Asian pop cultures, they are particularly suspicious of the sexual identity of K-pop fans. Based on a qualitative analysis of semi-structured interviews with sixteen upper-class and twenty middle-lower-class Chileans, this paper investigates how Chilean K-pop fans consume and negotiate with the aesthetics of K-pop in a conservative, European-oriented, oligarchic society.

摘要:

本文旨在确定为什么智利的 K-pop 粉丝喜欢 K-pop 偶像不相容的美学。它将根据智利的社会经济水平和歌迷对 K-pop 美容标准的看法来分析美丽理想的变化。假设智利的种族(而不是肤色)和阶级之间的关系会影响 K-pop 消费,这项研究将深入探讨为什么美丽的经典吸引智利粉丝,尽管与智利男性美丽的经典存在对比。拉丁美洲文化由以性别为标志和决定的性角色构成(Cristián Valenzuela 2015);这些角色延续了基于男性形象的男性优势。具体而言,该地区存在的霸权男子气概因具有力量、理性、严肃、支配、异性恋和性活动。亚洲人通常被称为Chino和 K-pop 粉丝被认为是奇怪的。尽管智利人倾向于将所有亚洲流行文化混为一谈,但他们特别怀疑 K-pop 粉丝的性别认同。基于对 16 名上层智利人和 20 名中下层智利人的半结构化访谈的定性分析,本文调查了智利 K-pop 粉丝如何在保守的、面向欧洲的 K-pop 美学中进行消费和协商。 ,寡头社会。
