Their invitations to come make use of strikingly similar strategies: (1) the \u201cadventurous\u201d foreigner venturing to explore a new land; and the (2) proud, local citizen, telling the newcomer what is so special about their nation. The main goal of this study is to introduce the concepts of \u201chybridization\u201d and \u201cequalization\u201d as powerful constructs to analyze\u00a0<em>hybridized representations<\/em>\u00a0of Latin American cultures and identities through nation branding. This study adds to existing research on cultural nation branding, as well as critical-cultural studies that focuses on analyses of the \u201cOther,\u201d outlining the limitations of branding as a mechanism to promote contested and multifaceted constructs such as countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Publication: Communication, Culture and Critique<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link\" href=\"https:\/\/academic.oup.com\/ccc\/article-abstract\/16\/3\/182\/7163182?\">READ MORE<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Full title: When the locals are\u00a0Othered: hybridized representations of Latin American cultures and identities through nation branding Abstract: This study&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","discipline-type":[],"research-type":[1487],"research-topic":[1735,1706],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/bu-research\/37031"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/bu-research"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/bu-research"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=37031"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"discipline-type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/discipline-type?post=37031"},{"taxonomy":"research-type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/research-type?post=37031"},{"taxonomy":"research-topic","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/research-topic?post=37031"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
