Topic: Latin Lover


  
  Hispanic Heritage Plaza 2003 - Culture
While the Latin lover stereotype seems like a whimsical characterization that only existed on the big screen decades ago, its effects have seeped into the American psyche, for many years forcing Latinos, especially those in the film industry, into a smothering, tight mold.
Another unlikely precursor of the Latin lover is the "bandido." A series of early films, including Tony the Greaser (1911) and The Greaser's Revenge (1914) conceived the bandido stereotype—the greasy and/or slovenly rapist, thief, drunk or murderer.
"Latin men were a passport to the forbidden." Swashbuckling heroes were venturing into previously uncharted territory in theaters, a reflection of the real-life spirit of adventure that was sweeping across the United States.

The Latin Lover stereotype is one of the few positive stereotypes of Latinos in early film.
The Latin Lover is usually positively portrayed, however for reasons of popularity in film, and mystery, not always for heroics.
And in the end, it is not the Latin male who weds her, but rather the Anglo male with whom she ends up leaving with, in some ways a symbol of her lack of control, and acceptance of her traditional role/stereotype.

 Early Images   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
The "Latin Lover" is typically viewed as not quite as negative as the other Hispanic charecter types present in early american cinema.
It is the latin men who are ready to engage in activities of romance with out "puritanical qualms", because these men are of "continental morality" (the latin lover was generally Spainish as opposed to Argentinian, as opposed to Mexican).
He may also fall in to the category of the Latin Lover, but I feel that there are several important differences between the charecter of Julio and the charecter of Zorro which prevent them from being placed in the same category.

 The Fate of Strongmen / Los Angeles Times - Cuba News / Noticias - CubaNet News
The left and the right in Latin America each have had, in recent years, their own Latin Lover--the idealized strongman who would hold the nation in his arms and banish disorder.
Whereas in 1975, Pinochet was the only Latin American head of state to attend the funeral of Franco, the last of the Spanish strongmen, today Spain flatters itself with its own modernity.
Democratic governments and notions of individualism are forming in Latin America to challenge the inevitability of the strongman.

 PUERTO RICO HERALD: Marc Anthony, The Mature Latin Lover   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
And when the Latin music genre looked like it was going to be dominated by estrogen-filled, sex-selling chiselled bodies, it took Marc Anthony to save it from the depths of mainstream pop despair.
He's shown that Latin music should be judged on more than just a cute smile, bedroom eyes, a washboard stomach, and how quickly you shake your hips to the beat.
With a total of 12 Latin, gold and platinum RIAA certifications, for both his mainstream and Latin releases, it's safe to say Marc Anthony's latest release, Mended, should retain the same smooth and sensual formula of his debut English release.

 Latin - Uncyclopedia
Latin is a term originating from the Greek words La, meaning "The" and Tin meaning "worst".
Although many are under the mistaken impression that Latin is a language with a fully developed, complicated system of grammar, with involved nominal and verbal morphology, it is in fact possible to construct perfect Latin sentences by throwing roots and combining forms together.
Latin is a synthetic or inflectional language: affixes are attached to fixed stems to express gender, number, and case in adjectives, nouns, and pronouns, which is called declension; and person, number, tense, voice, mood, and aspect in verbs, which is called conjugation.

 rebecca mead dot com -- Latin Lover
In the Middle Ages, Latin was the preserve of the Church, whose leaders believed that the language was inherently holier than the vernacular, and who used Latin as a means of establishing a reverential distance between priests and their parishioners.
The argument for the improving qualities of Latin is still made by the American Classical League, which points to studies showing that schoolchildren who have studied Latin achieve higher standardized test scores than their non-Latinist peers, even after taking into account the advantages that might be expected among a population of Latin-studying American adolescents.
In the eighteenth century, the global decline of Latin was hastened by a rebellion against the classics in the New World, where it was argued that Latin and Greek were relics of an élitist English educational model, unsuitable for the more democratic, progressive, and utilitarian society that was emerging.

Known as Father Reggie to some friends and students, he also is an internationally renowned Latin teacher and a fluent speaker of complex, Ciceronian Latin, not to mention a world-class curmudgeon and quirky critic of the temporal and spiritual universes around him.
His cameo appearances on a weekly Vatican Radio segment dubbed "The Latin Lover" are legendary among some seminarians at the Pontifical North American College, partly because of his reputation for political incorrectness and unpredictability.
Yet, he also is a monk with a ready smile and a willingness to help visitors to Rome and the students from around the world who take his Latin classes at the Pontifical Gregorian University or his free Latin-immersion course in the summers.

Long one of the last places to keep Latin alive, the Catholic Church's love-affair with the ancient tongue is fading.
One of the last to speak the language there is a German cardinal who might soon become the next pope.
Latin's long lost its status as the world's lingua franca, but until recently, Vatican visitors were able to hear some cardinals converse in what remains the church's official language.

It is as if Romania is the estranged sister of the Latin world, removed and forgotten.
She lives an existence of excess and tragedy; if Italy is the princess of the Latin world, then Romania is the mistress - secretive, unassociated, seductive, with its own dark motives and illicit associations, whose existence may spawn violence.
Romania, being a Latin country so far removed from the goings on of Western Europe, and instead embroiled in the middle of communism and Balkanism, is an estranged and sad tale.
