To conduct this investigation, I have utilized textual sources and oral accounts from personal interviews. I have also drawn on bodily renderings of the Jarabe Tapatío - some from my own practice of the dance, others that I observed in performance, and still others that I taught students to embody as imparted by Alura Flores de Angeles’ “the God Mother of Mexican Dance.” First, I investigate how the teaching and performance of the Jarabe Tapatío in 1920s and 1930s Mexico was sanctioned by the state to operate alongside a post-revolutionary nationalism which built up seemingly inclusionary polices that were in fact designed to eradicate the indigenous population, promote mestizaje as the ideal race for a homogeneous nation, re-affirm class positioning, and consolidate traditional gender roles. I examine the teaching and performance of the JarabeTapatío at events organized by the Secretary of Public Education (SEP) in rural schools, Cultural Missions programs, festivals, and weekly concerts. I unpack the love narrative as articulated by Flores de vi Angeles to examine the intersectionality of nation, race, gender, and class and how these constructs were incorporated within the costume, music, and dance movements of the dance. I also analyze the many ways in which several public presentations of the Jarabe Tapatío, by SEP school girls and by Nellie and Gloria Campobello- bodily consolidated and also contested post-revolutionary ideas as espoused by the SEP in the 1920s and 1930s. Secondly, I explore the teaching and performance of the Jarabe Tapatío in the twenty-first century to ask whether the dance has changed over time with immigration. I interviewed five twenty-first century United States practitioners and a number of dancers from California, Illinois, New Mexico, and Texas. In my interviews I found that contemporary performances of the Jarabe Tapatío ignited internal discussions concerning gender, race, class, and nation. Nonetheless, preservation of Mexican heritage assumed greater importance. Thus, a 1920s post-revolutionary ideology continues to be reinforced by these twenty-first century United States practitioners. vii Table of Contents Introduction……………………………………………………………………………...1 Chapter 1: Early Twentieth-Century Mexico (1920-1931): The Jarabe Tapatío as a Tool for Cultural Nationalism…………………………………………………….34 Chapter 2: The Jarabe Tapatío as a Form of Bodily Remembrance of Early Twentieth-Century Mexico…………………………………………………………….91 Chapter 3: Nation, Class and the Gendering of Men and Women in Performances of the Jarabe Tapatío………………………………………………………………….119 Chapter 4: The Jarabe Tapatío in the Twenty-First-Century United States………155 Conclusion…………………………………………………………………………….197 viii INTRODUCTION The brightly lit room held a captive audience who was leaning forward in their chairs, standing against the wall, and listening intently while seated on the floor. The commanding presence of Alura Flores de Angeles, the “God Mother of Mexican Dance” was felt by every single person. She was seventy-seven years old and wore a brightly woven Mexican huipil to complement her indigenous skirt.1 Her black, long hair was loosely pulled up in a high bun. She had brought her famous collection of Mexican costumes to the University of Texas at Austin in 1982 (Martinez-Hunter; “Folk Dancer to Speak;” “Memo to the University of Texas at Austin Faculty and Staff”). As the student models walked before the audience and posed, Flores de Angeles, who spoke in English, gave a dynamic presentation on the historical and cultural significance of each costume in her collection. These costumes represented her life’s work. As a physical education teacher employed by the Secretaría de Educación Pública [Secretary of Public Education] or the SEP, Flores de Angeles was part of the cultural nationalist movement in which she taught and collected the dances of Mexico. Every costume represented knowledge earned from her many years of work as a Mexican folkloric dance teacher at Mexico’s National Autonomous University. Her gestures, speech, and attire showcased her desire to share Mexico’s dance heritage with the world. With a dramatic effect, Flores de Angeles during her presentation at the 1 University of Texas at Austin recited a poem on the Mexican rebozo or indigenous shawl using every ounce of feeling and emotion to inspire patriotic love of the country of Mexico. Yes, this was one presentation that was remembered by all in attendance. I have heard many inspiring stories about Flores de Angeles from my dance teachers, her colleagues, and her friends. Yet, I did not have the opportunity to meet her. Flores de Angeles was not of my generation. This dissertation invokes the legends of the Jarabe Tapatío, called by nearly everyone the national dance of Mexico, as articulated through the spoken word and bodily memories of Flores de Angeles, through archival sources, as well as oral histories, to situate the socio-political significance of this dance in early twentieth-century Mexico and in the twenty-first-century United States. To begin my analysis, I interweave the historical narratives of the jarabes and the Jarabe Tapatío to demonstrate the manner in which this dance has been continuously re-created and re- invented to legitimize the efforts of those seeking or possessing political powers. Throughout my writings, I utilize the theories of Benedict

  • A Mughal Princess in Baroque New Spain Catarina De San Juan (1606-1688), the China Poblana
    DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.22201/iie.18703062e.1997.71.1793 GAUVIN ALEXANDER BAILEY CLARK UNIVERSITY A Mughal Princess in Baroque New Spain Catarina de San Juan (1606-1688), the china poblana EW FIGURES HAVE so captivated the popular Mexican imagination as the china poblana, yet few are so poorly understood.1 Her pervasive Fimage is beloved by tourists and schoolchildren, celebrated by folk troupes, lauded in poetry, reenacted in plays and cinema, and extolled by politicians. Originally a symbol of civic pride for the city of Puebla, she went on to epitomize the Republican spirit following the French invasión (1862- 1863), and eventually embodied the very essence of México itself. As the designer of an elabórate municipal monument in her glory proclaimed in the 1940S: "[the china poblana] simboliza el ALMA NACIONAL... el arquetipo 2 NACIONAL de la virtuosa mujer mexicana." Some say she was an ancient princess from China, whose luxurious silks inspired the folk costume of today. Others insist that her origins are to be found on Mexican soil, in the Poblano heartland. So, who was she? She was in fact two people. The china poblana of the popular imagina- tion—of the brightly embroidered blouse and rebozo shawl—is an invention 1. I would like to thank Clara Bargellini for rekindling my interest in the china poblana, and for directing me to readings in viceregal painting. I am also grateful to Elizabeth Rhodes for her editorial comments. 2. Luis G. Andrade (1941), quoted in Rafael Carrasco Puente, Bibliografía de Catarina de San Juan y de la china poblana, México, Secretaría de Relaciones Exteriores, 1950, p.

He took off his hat and came slowly forward. The floorboards creaked under his boots. In his black suit he stood in the dark glass where the lilies leaned so palely from their waisted cutglass vase. Along the cold hallway behind him hung the portraits of forebears only dimly known to him all framed in glass and dimly lit above the narrow wainscotting. He looked down at the guttered candlestub. He pressed his thumbprint in the warm wax pooled on the oak veneer. Lastly he looked at the face so caved and drawn among the folds of funeral cloth, the yellowed moustache, the eyelids paper thin. That was not sleeping. That was not sleeping. It was dark outside and cold and no wind. In the distance a calf bawled. He stood with his hat in his hand. You never combed your hair that way in your life, he said. Inside the house there was no sound save the ticking of the mantel clock in the front room. He went out and shut the door. Dark and cold and no wind and a thin gray reef beginning along the eastern rim of the world. He walked out on the prairie and stood holding his hat like some supplicant to the darkness over them all and he stood there for a long time.

  • Guy Thomson, 2011 Arara – No.10, 2009 1
    © Guy Thomson, 2011 Arrieta’s Poblanas Guy Thomson, University of Warwick The city of Puebla figured prominently in the imagination of prominent Liberal writers such as Guillermo Prieto, Manuel Payno and Ignacio Altamirano. Smaller yet more conflictive than the national capital, bastion of the Catholic Church but also the first highland city to witness newly arriving European tastes, fashions and technologies, the nineteenth-century dialogue between tradition and modernity was more starkly visible in Puebla. 1 From the early 1840s Mexican writers and artists sought to identify the “national” in the customs and costumes of everyday life. 2 Guillermo Prieto confessed that Mexico City’s cultural complexity defied his efforts to describe the capital’s types and customs: What I struggle to characterise, but with little success, is the physiognomy of that society, made up of entire sections whose relations to each other, seen close to or from afar, seem completely ill-matched....like small shards of glass that form unexpected and precious shapes in a kaleidoscope, so those various elements form shapes, with the difference that in the 1 Coral Vicente Colmenares, Arte e Identidad La Pintura Poblana del Siglo XIX (Puebla: Educación y Cultura, 2010), pp.13-14, 92. 2 Montserrat Galí Boadella, Historias del bello sexo La Introducción del Romanticismo en México (México: UNAM, 2002), p.504; María Esther Pérez Salas, Costumbrismo y Litografía en México: un nuevo modo de ver (México: UNAM, 2005), and, “Nación e imagen.

  • Charrería: the Artisanship of Mexican Equestrian Culture
    Arte en la Charrería: The Artisanship of Mexican Equestrian Culture Educational Program by International Arts & Artists Table of Contents: I. What is Charrería? II. Events of the Charreada III. The origins of the Charreada IV. About the Exhibition V. Discussion Topics VI. Resource List VII. Glossary I. What is Charrería? Charrería is a Mexican cultural tradition that stems from the Spanish-inspired charreada. The charreada is a festive event that is similar to an American rodeo in its variety of competitive equestrian activities. Like the American “rodeo culture,” Charrería extends beyond horses and riders to include aspects such as costume, music, and food that bring a uniquely Latino culture to a sport that has its roots in Spain. The charreada began in Mexico in the 16th century when horses were introduced by the Spanish. As the Spanish tried to develop Central America for their own economic gain, they created an entire culture centered around agriculture and ranching in the haciendas they constructed. This is the culture that is reflected in Charrería. Although the main event is foreign-inspired, the culture reflected in the clothing, saddles, belts, hats, and spurs is largely inspired by traditional indigenous art. The Charrería has endured over five centuries because of the strength of the skills, sensibilities, and traditions that transcend regional and generational differences. Fearing the eventual loss of the Charrería culture, a group of charros, or the “cowboys,” who participate in the charreadas, united and formed various associations to preserve and promote this national culture. The Federación Mexicana de Charrería was founded in Mexico City in 1933 to govern the different charros associations that emerged.

  • From Conformity to Protest: the Evolution of Latinos in American Popular Culture, 1930S-1980S
    From Conformity to Protest: The Evolution of Latinos in American Popular Culture, 1930s-1980s A dissertation submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Cincinnati in the partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of History of the College of Arts and Sciences 2017 by Vanessa de los Reyes M.A., Miami University, 2008 B.A., Northern Kentucky University, 2006 Committee Chair: Stephen R. Porter, Ph.D. Abstract “From Conformity to Protest” examines the visual representations of Latinos in American popular culture—specifically in film, television, and advertising—from the 1930s through the early 1980s. It follows the changing portrayals of Latinos in popular culture and how they reflected the larger societal phenomena of conformity, the battle for civil rights and inclusion, and the debate over identity politics and cultural authenticity. It also explores how these images affected Latinos’ sense of identity, particularly racial and ethnic identities, and their sense of belonging in American society. This dissertation traces the evolution of Latinos in popular culture through the various cultural anxieties in the United States in the middle half of the twentieth century, including immigration, citizenship, and civil rights. Those tensions profoundly transformed the politics and social dynamics of American society and affected how Americans thought of and reacted to Latinos and how Latinos thought of themselves. This work begins in the 1930s when Latin Americans largely accepted portrayals of themselves as cultural stereotypes, but longed for inclusion as “white” Americans. The narrative of conformity continues through the 1950s as the middle chapters thematically and chronologically examine how mainstream cultural producers portrayed different Latino groups—including Chicanos (or Mexican Americans), Puerto Ricans, and Cubans.

  • Weaving Mestiza Geographies: an A/R/Tographic Allegory on Cultural Identity Through the Lens of Vernacular Textile Traditions
    Weaving Mestiza Geographies: An A/r/tographic Allegory on Cultural Identity Through the Lens of Vernacular Textile Traditions Verónica Sahagún Sánchez A Thesis In the Department of Art Education Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Art Education) at Concordia University March 2015 ©Verónica Sahagún Sánchez Abstract Weaving Mestiza Geographies: An A/r/tographic Allegory on Cultural Identity Through the Lens of Vernacular Textile Traditions Verónica Sahagún Sánchez Concordia University, 2015 In Weaving Mestiza Geographies, I use Mexican vernacular textile traditions as the foundation for a self-study focused on my cultural identity. This project departs from my creative pratice and asks: In what ways may the aesthetics of Mexican vernacular textile traditions influence my art making and my teaching as a visual artist trained within Western educational contexts? At a theoretical level, I draw on aspects of feminist epistemologies and geographies, and Mexican history as well as postcolonial theory. I work with a/r/tography, a research methodology that weaves the practices of the artist/researcher/teacher together through a complementary dialogue between image (art) and text (writing). Based on the idea of allegory as a practice that uses symbols to reveal hidden meanings, combining visual and text-based symbols allows me to develop a decolonizing praxis consisting of (un)hiding the Indigenous legacies that form my mestiza (or mixed) identity. Weaving Mestiza Geographies also addresses issues that relate to contemporary craft theory and practice. I approach the craft object as an embodiment of local, communal, familial, and cultural histories as well as of personal memories.

  • 'Asian Americas' and the World: a Transnational
    Work in Progress: Please do not cite The ‘Asian Americas’ and the World: A Transnational History Erika Lee Keynote Address Asia Pacific and the Making of the Americas: Approaches to Transnational Asian American Histories Symposium Brown University April 7, 2011 Abstract: Asians have a long and diverse history in the Americas and have played central roles in the distinct national histories of countries in the region. But Asians have also been part of the "Asian Americas," the interconnected and transnational worlds of Asians in the Americas across, beyond, and underneath national boundaries. The Asian Americas were part of a global relationship between Asia and the Americas, but they were also distinctly American; the product of hemispheric histories, discourses, and power relations as well as ongoing connections to the Atlantic and Pacific worlds. Examining the transnational relationships between and amongst Asians in the Americas and their links to the wider world not only helps us revise our understandings of “Asian America,” it also inspires us to write new global histories of the Americas. In the seventeenth century, a South Asian slave girl arrived in Mexico. Owned by Spanish Captain Miguel de Sosa, she arrived in Acapulco via a Manila galleon from the Philippines. Christened Mirrha-Catarina de San Juan in New Spain, (what would later become Mexico), she lived and worked in Captain de Sosa’s household in Puebla and became free upon his death. In her later years, she became known as a healer and a Catholic visionary who worked among the poor and sick until her death in 1688.

  • Keeping Rural Tradition Alive: the Race, Class, and Gender
    KEEPING RURAL TRADITION ALIVE: THE RACE, CLASS, AND GENDER DYNAMICS OF THE MODERN CHARRO COMMUNITY A Dissertation by BEATRIZ ALDANA MÁRQUEZ Submitted to the Office of Graduate and Professional Studies of Texas A&M University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Chair of Committee, Stjepan Mestrovic Committee Members, John M. Eason William A. McIntosh Kristan Poirot Head of Department, Denis O’Hearn August 2017 Major Subject: Sociology Copyright 2017 Beatriz Aldana Marquez ABSTRACT The Charro tradition is the national sport of Mexico. Yet, its national recognition is limited even though the Charro tradition has influenced other important Mexican and American cultural symbols such as the mariachis and even the American cowboy. I conducted an ethnographic study (2013-2015) in Mexico on the Charro community to assess their cultural adaptability in a changing Mexico. The figure of the Charro serves as the personification of centuries of culture and tradition as it is displayed through their body comportment and clothing, as well as the behaviors, mannerisms, and adherence to the norms that are unique to this subculture. Charros perform suertes or events as a team to gain points in front of judges during Charreadas or competitions to pay homage to early Charros. The judgment is strict and points can be deducted for incorrect techniques, clothing, or form which is indicative of the continuous standardization by the Federation of Mexican Charros. Charro women (Escaramuzas) perform a ten-minute routine of synchronized horse dancing to traditional Mexican song and are judged on their grace, elegance, and presentation.
