- 요약This dissertation appears at the intersection of Latinx media studies and digital media theory. It focuses on the physical and material movement of media and their concomitant experiences of relief, release, and catharsis, what I call rarefactions.The project traces the infrastructural, technological, physical, embodied, and cultural movement of Latinx cultural production, specifically in Chicano soul music, superhero comic books, and digital video comedy. I propose a new methodological framework, brown physics of media, to attune to the rarefactions in Latinx media. Media studies has thoroughly documented how compression, and its technical processes, minimize and reduce experiences for the sake of efficiency and acceleration. Every physical compression necessitates and is accompanied by a rarefaction, but this phenomenon has not received such attention in media theory. However, minoritarian peoples use media as a realm for rarefactions. Using a brown physics of media framework, I detail the ways that racialized peoples transfer energy, create space, and exert forces across a range of creative practices. Through rarefactions, I draw on the vocabulary of modern physics and translate it to a new language that attends to the artistic and cultural specificity of these cultural products. Each chapter analyzes the degrees of movement in the production of Latinx media to develop a concept that better describes how matter moves and interacts. The first chapter describes the rarefaction of onda, or vibe, that propagates in popular music using organs and synthesizers in Chicano soul. In the second chapter, I use superhero comic books to illustrate how image editing software helps generate a spacetime of endurance using color through the concept of horizonte, or horizon. The final chapter formulates relajo, or mess, as an audiovisual rarefaction of embodied excess that is mediated with motion prediction algorithms in digital video comedy. In delineating and tracking the physical, technical, and cultural motion of Latinx cultural production, these chapters shift the paradigm for the study of race and media to a place where the objects of study do more than simply represent. This dissertation contributes to the material and physical turn in theories and philosophies of media.
