Dissertation: Ethnic Minorities in Brazil and Spain: Erasure & Stigmatization, Gender, and Self-
Representation of Indigenous and Roma Communities. Co-directed by Dr. Malcolm Compitello and Dr.
Katia Bezerra.

My research offers interdisciplinary work on the use of media by marginalized ethnic minorities for self-
representation, using as its frame of reference scholars such as Faye Ginsburg, Gayatri Spivak, Judith
Butler, Stuart Hall, Achille Mbembe, and David Harvey. Specifically, my dissertation examines Indigenous
communities in Brazil and the Roma (Gypsy) population of Spain. My work uncovers the multiple
discourses through which ethnic identities have to be negotiated within a larger dominant culture,
especially in contexts of globalization, and brings to this discussion the theorization of new media. Based
on interviews with media producers, I discuss community radio stations, online network groups, video
making, and blogs, and how these constitute different tools for promoting culture and conducting political
activism. I found that despite the efforts of both Indigenous and Roma groups in using these new media as
a non-hegemonic sort of communication, their invisibility as a subject is repeated, even when
sympathetically supported by the discourse of cultural diversity. Ultimately, I bring together their similarities
and differences to determine how these technologies can be both helpful or hinder the self-affirmation and
increased autonomy of these groups.
