Lolita Latina An Examination of Gothic and Lolita Style in the Mexican Environment A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Visual and Material Culture College of Creative Arts Massey University Wellington, New Zealand Kathryn Adèle Hardy Bernal 2019 Abstract This thesis, completed for the award of Doctor of Philosophy in Visual and Material Culture, Ph.D., examines the development of the fashion-based Mexican Gothic and Lolita movement, and its evolution from its subcultural Japanese roots. It asks, “What are the cultural conditions that encourage this movement to flourish in the Mexican environment?” In turn, “What does Mexican culture contribute to Mexican Gothic and Lolita style?” And, “What does Mexican Gothic and Lolita style say about Mexican culture, society, and beliefs?” The Gothic and Lolita movement is currently thriving in Mexico as an authentic, independent, creative, handmade fashion industry, yet to be co-opted into mainstream culture. With the do-it-yourself aspect of the movement comes its own, unique, cultural flavour. As such, it transforms and rearranges meanings of the original subcultural style in order to make new statements, which subvert the meanings, and understandings, of the Japanese Lolita identity. Analyses of Mexican Gothic and Lolita styles, in context with the Mexican environment, culture, and belief systems, as well as the operation of the Mexican Gothic and Lolita industry, are major focal points of this study.

  • Algunas Indagaciones Históricas Sobre La Muerte
    Algunas indagaciones históricas sobre la muerte por Sofía Boonil ...Quien lleva la muerte adentro Tiene una fuerza vital. Si el hombre busca lo inmenso, La muerte es inmensidad. Desdicha del pensamiento Que poco puede volar Y busca simples razones Para poderse explicar… (Atahualpa Yupanqui) Introducción Morir aunque es un acontecimiento natural e inherente a la vida, es un suceso que ha despertado cuestionamientos profundos y levantado todo tipo de emociones y pensares frente a su misterio. Desde los orígenes de la humanidad se han descubierto hallazgos que dan cuenta del hondo afán por comprender el fenómeno de la muerte mediante formas diversas que revelan la búsqueda de conferir un profundo sentido que abrace un significado trascendente. Las creencias invariablemente forman parte de un sistema social y jurídico que pretende establecer un orden, de esta manera, la representación de la muerte y del más allá, se encuentran siempre relacionadas con la vida y la cultura ligadas a cada época y su transformación en el tiempo. La religión y la cultura en general funge un rol relevante en la significación de la muerte, así como en la configuración de la experiencia personal ante ella, el proceso de duelo y los rituales que la circundan. Exploraré el origen de los conceptos básicos de memento mori y ​ Tempus fugit, a grandes rasgos la cosmovisión del humano mesoamericano que estaba intrínsecamente ​ ligada a la naturaleza, el simbolismo de Itzpapálotl, y el sincretismo con la cultura europea tras la conquista española en lo que se refiere a la tradición mexicana del Día de Muertos. Tempus fugit Tempus fugit, es una expresión latina y un tópico literario cuya traducción “El tiempo vuela” alude a la ​ ​ fugacidad del tiempo, a la noción de que el tiempo transcurre rápidamente, de que se escapa, vuela.

  • Bitter Sweet Child
    Bitter Sweet Child PART ONE CHAPTER ONE South Valle Hermoso, Mexico, 1969 He pressed his body against hers. “Guapa relájate!” (Relax gorgeous.) She could not stop tensing her muscles. It was as if she were a stone. Nothing could soften her. “Conchita, you’ll like it if you just relax. It won’t hurt so much,” he pleaded. His rough beard felt like sandpaper against her soft skin. The combination of cigarettes and alcohol on his breath made her nostrils seize up as she tightened even more. The bitter, putrid odor coated the inside of her throat right down to her lungs. The air passage began to swell and climb up toward her mouth reaching out for fresh air blocking her breathing completely. She forced herself to open her mouth wide and gulp in more of the rancid air being expulsed out of his vile body. She had to close her mouth firmly as more of the slimy air particles from his breath were rushing in sliding down her throat. Each breath made her sicker. Oh how she wished she could cease breathing, but nature would not permit it. She dared not retch. ‘How can this be happening to me? Was it like this for mama too?’ San Diego, California, USA, 2006 When David Henshaw awoke on Saturday morning April 9, he could not have imagined his life was going to change forever. If alive now, he could not begin to tell how it happened. David turned 51 in December and for some unfathomable reason started to look back at his life and wish he had done things differently.

    Scion: Hero Full Text Preview 03/12/2017 This PDF contains the full text of Scion: Hero, without the two introduction stories (“Grass”, and “Eric”). Thank you very much for supporting the Kickstarter! © Onyx Path Publishing, all rights reserved Introduction What are men? Mortal gods. What are gods? Immortal men. - Heraclitus Escaping from Polyphemus’s cave. Freeing the valkyrie from her fiery prison. Serving as a loa’s steed. Slaying the ahuitzotl. Scribing the Papyrus of Ani. Darkening the river with Orochi’s blood. The Gods performed Deeds of great import and valor, which filtered into the epic folklore of humankind to inform cultures and create religions. Each tale is a memorable event; each carries within it one of the fundamental truths espoused by the cultures in question. Each tale shows the precarious relationship between Gods and mortals. You are the one who walks between mortal and immortal, between human and God. You are of both worlds. You are a Scion. At the dawn of the legends, Scions are Heroes, humans who fight harder, love better, and live more fully than their fellows. Descendants of the Gods, Heroes are technically demigods, but not yet in the truest sense. They have received the Visitation from their parents, fully awakening them to the World of myth and divinity. The book you hold in your hands is the first step into this new World. Some Heroes never go further. They touch lives and shape nations, but they age and die as mortals do. Some never want to go further, shedding their mortality in order to become something greater.

    THE STATE DUMA OF THE FEDERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION OF THE SIXTH CONVOCATION CHAIRMAN OF THE STATE DUMA Okhotny Ryad, 1, 103265 Moscow to Organizers, Participants, and Guests of the VII International Festival of Photography PhotoVisa Dear Friends! I would like to welcome you to the opening of the 7th International Festival of Photog- raphy PhotoVisa in Krasnodar. Once again, the generous Kuban land hosts Russia’s most important photographic fo- rum with exhibitions from 14 countries of four continents worldwide. This year we celebrate the 70th anniversary of the Victory in the Great Patriotic War and it is remarkable that the Festival PhotoVisa chooses The Language of Memory as its theme and features exhibitions of documentary photography from the Russian State Archives which witness the people’s feat and heroism in the name of the Victory. This year is marked by another commemorative date — the 1000th death anniversary of St. Vladimir, Equal-to-the-Apostles. Kievan Rus was baptized by him and adopted Orthodox Christianity entering the family of cultures which have a favorable development vector set by the laws of Christianity. Tribute to Prince Vladimir and the ongoing charity work of the Rus- sian Orthodox Church is paid by two exhibitions prepared under the auspices of the Publish- ing Council of the Russian Orthodox Church. Such a large-scale project like the Festival PhotoVisa became possible due to the en- ergy, efforts, and potential of both organizations and individuals. They all deserve appre- ciation for their contribution to the development of national culture and strengthening of international cultural relations.

  • José Guadalupe Posada a Jeho Cyklus Las Calaveras
    MASARYKOVA UNIVERZITA Filozofická fakulta Ústav hudební vědy Sdružená uměnovědná studia Lucia Souhradová José Guadalupe Posada a jeho cyklus Las Calaveras Bakalárska diplomová práca Vedúci práce: prof. PhDr. Jaroslav Střítecký, CSc. Konzultant: Mgr. Jan Střítecký, Ph.D. 2017 Prehlasujem, že som bakalársku diplomovú prácu vypracovala samostatne s využitím uvedených prameňov a literatúry. ..….............……………………………………….. V Brne dňa 3. 5. 2017 Predhovor Mexiko, srdce dvoch Amerík, krajina známa archeologickými miestami predkolumbovskej doby, obyvateľmi indiánskeho pôvodu, dažďovými lesmi, jazerami či tropickou džungľou. Rovnako ako aj nenapodobiteľné pláže, srdečnosť obyvateľov, pikantná kuchyňa, sombrero či tequila, mýty alebo folklór, tvoria jedinečné ikony mexickej kultúry. Aký charakter a čo presne sa skrýva pod pestrofarebným obalom je však menej známe. Niekedy je nutné sa formou výskumu či samostatnej práce dostáť hlbšie do problémov jednotlivých oblastí či konkrétnych častí danej sféry a vytvoriť si tak predstavu o svete, ktorý je nám blízky. Hlavným podnetom pre analýzu objektu môjho záujmu sa stala skúsenosť s návštevou mexického ostrova. Na návšteve ostrova Cozumel ma s predmetom v ruke oslovil domorodý občan so slovami: „La calavera, por favor?“1 Šokovaná ale zvedavá po odpovediach som si z rozhovoru priniesla nie len príjemný pocit ale aj ďalšie otázky. Slobodným bádaním ma vo vzťahu k ich najznámejšiemu sviatku, Día de los Muertos, oslovila literárna tvorba veršov s veselými ilustráciami. Spracovaný výklad sa venuje mexickej identite. Hlavným cieľom práce je zadefinovať vybraný fenomén satirických kresieb, las calaveras, zasadiť ich do kontextu umenia, a skrz ich stvárnenia zobraziť podoby politických a sociálnych kritík. Zámerom práce je taktiež nahliadnuť na ich dedičstvo v závislosti od činnosti umelca José Guadalupe Posady.
