Abstract
The objective of this article is to account for gender representations about the female stars in the Chilean magazine Ecran, during the years 1930-1931. During the 30s, the lure of Hollywood stars helped to consolidate a mass culture in Chile, popularizing a modern American style. In this context, it is investigated how the image of the Hollywood star in Ecran operated as a gender representation and was installed as a benchmark for modern and elegant woman. In this regard, we propose that the Hollywood stars publicized in Ecran represented a glamorous femininity with an important aesthetic value concerning body and appearance parameters as thinness and fashion.
