Abstract
El término mainstream está relacionado, en la cultura popular, con aquellos iconos del cine, del arte y de la política que se han extendido en un mundo globalizado gracias a los medios de comunicación y la publicidad y que han trascendido las décadas y resurgido en diferentes momentos de la historia. La presente investigación tiene como objetivo observar la manera en la que los usuarios de redes sociales crean contenido propio empleando los iconos culturales escogidos (Frida Kahlo, Che Guevara, Marilyn Monroe y Pablo Picasso). La metodología posee un enfoque mixto, que acude a variables cuantitativas: número total de publicaciones, alcance, impacto, conexión emocional (engagement) y al análisis de contenido cualitativo, para averiguar los valores que mayoritariamente se atribuyen a cada uno de estos iconos en los medios sociales (social media). Como principales hallazgos, el análisis de contenido revela que las publicaciones se usan casi exclusivamente como homenaje e identificación de marca (branding); que Frida Kahlo es el personaje más utilizado para la venta de arte y moda, y con el que más se identifica la gente joven (20-30 años); y que las imágenes del Che y Marilyn Monroe son las que más “me gusta” (likes) y comentarios obtienen, lo que genera más interacción y conexión emocional, especialmente entre el público de 35-45 años. En relación con el análisis de los valores más representados en las publicaciones (que fortalecen un discurso masivo), se comprueba que el arte es el intangible más utilizado para personificar a Frida y Picasso, mientras que el patriotismo y la libertad están más vinculados con el Che, y el amor, la belleza y la sensualidad con Marilyn.
In popular culture, the term mainstream is related to those icons of cinema, art, and politics that have spread in a globalized world thanks to the media and advertising, transcending decades and re-emerging at different histo-rical periods. This research will observe how social media users create con-tent using the chosen cultural icons (Frida Kahlo, Che Guevara, Marilyn Monroe, and Pablo Picasso). The methodology has a mixed approach with quantitative variables—total number of publications, reach, impact, enga-gement—and qualitative content analysis to find the values mainly attri-buted to each of these icons in social media. The content analysis reveals that the publications are used almost exclusively as a tribute and branding, that Frida Kahlo is the character most used to sell art and fashion, and with whom young people (20–30 years old) identify the most, and that the ima-ges of Che and Marilyn Monroe are the ones that get the most likes and comments, with the highest level of interaction and engagement (especia-lly among the 35–45-year-old audience). Concerning the analysis of the values most represented in the publications (which strengthen a massive discourse), art is the intangible most used to personify Frida and Picasso. At the same time, patriotism and freedom are more linked to Che and love, beauty, and sensuality to Marilyn.
