In the mid-1960s, color and decoration, characteristics traditionally deemed feminine, were recuperated to fashion a visual aesthetic that prioritized bold colors over pastels, hard edges over soft transitions, and manifested in the fine art realm as Pop and Op Art. At the same time, fine art was increasingly becoming popular culture, and vice versa. Pop and Op were thus easily appropriated by manufacturers and advertisers, and eagerly consumed by young women desiring to go “mod,” to reject the past in fashioning their identity. For them, this new aesthetic reshaped femininity as active rather than passive, as revolutionary, yet playful.

In April 1898, the US declared war against Spain after the explosion of the USS Maine battleship in Caribbean waters. As part of the Spanish-American War, the US invaded Puerto Rico and established a military government. During and after the war, Puerto Rico and its music became a topic of conversation and public discourse in the US. This article examines how Puerto Rican music was represented in US newspapers between 1898 and 1899. The major themes that emerge in these articles are music and the war, otherness, musical education, and gratitude.

Garrulous parrots appear in a wide array of pop culture forms—from urban legends, television sitcoms, and advertising, to comics, pulp detective fiction, and jokes (naming a few). The birds can be helpful, clever agents; but more often they are mischief makers challenging social norms. Among the pandemonium of parrots in expressive culture, we find specimens that swear uncontrollably, witness crimes, betray confidences, and otherwise insert themselves (in troubling ways) into the lives of humans. This essay analyzes the popular lore of parrots and offbeat contemporary examples featuring wisecracking and surprisingly percipient birds who always get the last word.
