Señorita Julia by Matthew Salazar-Thompson Adapted from Miss Julie by August Strindberg Señorita Julia __________________________ By Matthew Salazar-Thompson Adapted from Miss Julie by August Strindberg ii. CAST OF CHARACTERS MISS JULIA, aged twenty-nine. Impish young lady who has been living under the watchful eye of her Jewish father who owns the ranch. JOSE, valued worker on the ranch, aged thirty, of Hispanic background. Desires the American Dream and wants to escape the confines of what his culture has defined him as in The United States. CHRISTINA, a cook, aged thirty-five. Jose's fiancee and mother of Jose's soon to be child. Through her actions she has accepted the assimilation of the Mexican culture except where it will intersect with God. HOMBRE, The voice of the Earth and the manifestation of the Chicano dream. CHORUS, The elements of the planet. EARTH, WIND, WATER, FIRE. Chorus may be expanded as necessary. iii. Synopsis In a tragic updated retelling of Strindberg's classic tale of servitude and status, Jose and Christina live under the auspice of Julia and her father, Mr. Warner. Blending themes from Miss Julie and Percy Shelly's Prometheus Unbound we find that the relationship between a Jewish kept daughter and a Chicano valet escalate to a dangerous consummation in a world that is not ready to accept the differences between class, race, and religion. Scenes Act 1, Scene 1 - The interior of the Warner Ranch. Act 1, Scene 2 - The same. Act 1, Scene 3 - The same. Act I, Scene 1. * The action takes place on Midsummer Eve, 1943 in the kitchen of Fredrick Warner’s * sprawling ranch home in the Central Valley of California. * * A country style kitchen. There is a modern refrigerator. A working sink sits next to an oven. * A large stand-alone wooden cutting block sits somewhere on the set. Two matching chairs * and a small dining table adorn the room. A Philco radio sits upon the counter somewhere. * Adjacent to the kitchen are two door frames, but no doors. The stage left frame leads to * CHRISTINA’s room. The stage right frame leads to JOSÉ’s room. In both “rooms” there * are only two pieces of furniture: a simple single bed and a small dresser. An ornate cross * hangs somewhere over CHRISTINA’s room. Downstage of the door frames lead to other * areas of the house. There is also a telephone and a suspended clock which reads 9:33pm. * In the dark we hear the sound of shoveling dirt. A low vibrating sound plays. * A dark red light slowly rises. Down center HOMBRE stands, shoveling “dirt.” Lights * slowly rise on the CHORUS as they uniformly focus their attention towards him. * CHORUS * Behold the carrion caretaker of this land. * EARTH CHORUS * You dare defy that single god, that single carrier of the cross, those whose skin bleeds * alabaster, whose cobalt eyes mire the sanctity of civility. * HOMBRE stops digging and addresses the * CHORUS. * HOMBRE * I ask you... Are not Thou and I alone of living things, behold with sleepless eyes regard * this soil? With toil and tombs of broken hearts, with fear and self contempt and barren hope * I ply my hands through this Earth. O’er Mine own misery and thy vain revenge-three * hundred years of sleep un-sheltered hours have divided the pangs of scorn and dispair-but * these are mine empire. O Mighty God! Almighty, I had I deigned to share the shame of * thine ill tyranny, and hung not here, chained with my hands, back, my feet to this vertical * wall of a condor-baffling desert. Black, scorching, dead, unmeasured; without herb, yet full * of locust the shape and sound of life. * Señorita Julia Matthew Salazar-Thompson 2 EARTH CHORUS * Your misery, hath brought desolation to the golden veins than travel through my stones, * through my rivers, through my skies. * WATER CHORUS * My rendered heart shall answer ye to thee. * FIRE CHORUS * Your refuge, and your deference lies fallen and vanquished here is the valley of sun * bleached stones of this Spanish Caucus. * WIND CHORUS * What brazen statues stand now? * HOMBRE * My sacrifice hath turned the emblem of hot breath of Aztec youth from starry eyes to that * of bruised fruit. * WIND CHORUS * Yet behold that emblem, that is scorn for these chains upon you, one hath heaped a * thousand fold torment from the sand sipping breeze. * HOMBRE * You dare remit the anguish of that lighted stare? These chains? These chains that bury the * meat of my limbs? That seek to set a fire under the flame of my heart? * WIND CHORUS * In each heart terror survives the raven it has gorged? Has it not? * HOMBRE * Your words are not unlike that of winged snakes. This land burns my feet, buries my back, * my- * WIND CHORUS * Though chained... there are clouds to climb through the eagles periscope. I bid ascend these * subtle and fair minded spirits beyond that twilight realm as in the glass coffer of * confession. * CHORUS * Confession. * Señorita Julia Matthew Salazar-Thompson 3 HOMBRE * Climb? (Beat.) Where hath my body seek to climb from this wretched and spiked desert? * Through this very inlet of cropped rock where fertile crops once sprouted from the * sequestered soil and the dappled sunshine without so much a lifted human wrist, upon only * the breathe of the Aztecs found firm roots? * WATER CHORUS * Your words douse not our eyelids. * FIRE CHORUS * You dare defy the fire of Pizzaro, Balboa, Coronado, Cabrillo. * EARTH CHORUS * Pena, Hererra, Arista. * FIRE CHORUS * Taylor, Filmore, Roosevelt. * WIND CHORUS * The horns of walled Gorgons build up and up until he is Trump-phant. * CHORUS * Victorious! * HOMBRE * The great green dragons with their parted hair and tall pants sway and drag their heavy tails * into those heights. Each step is lacquered with black and blue ointment. * WIND CHORUS * My breathe blows upon the parchment that is not yet vapid. * HOMBRE * With each foot that I place upon the- * WATER CHORUS * Sand. * HOMBRE * The- * FIRE CHORUS * Core. * Señorita Julia Matthew Salazar-Thompson 4 HOMBRE * The- * EARTH CHORUS * Earth. * HOMBRE * I slip further into despair. * The CHORUS moves in and out among him quickly * now. * EARTH CHORUS * Chained as you are, you must ripen the womb of berries from the cacti. * FIRE CHORUS * ¡Quema!(Burn!) * WATER CHORUS * ¡Ahoga!

And those souls... those people that were here before became trapped in the * bones of my rib cage.

  • South Korean Cinema and the Conditions of Capitalist Individuation
    The Intimacy of Distance: South Korean Cinema and the Conditions of Capitalist Individuation By Jisung Catherine Kim A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Film and Media in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Kristen Whissel, Chair Professor Mark Sandberg Professor Elaine Kim Fall 2013 The Intimacy of Distance: South Korean Cinema and the Conditions of Capitalist Individuation © 2013 by Jisung Catherine Kim Abstract The Intimacy of Distance: South Korean Cinema and the Conditions of Capitalist Individuation by Jisung Catherine Kim Doctor of Philosophy in Film and Media University of California, Berkeley Professor Kristen Whissel, Chair In The Intimacy of Distance, I reconceive the historical experience of capitalism’s globalization through the vantage point of South Korean cinema. According to world leaders’ discursive construction of South Korea, South Korea is a site of “progress” that proves the superiority of the free market capitalist system for “developing” the so-called “Third World.” Challenging this contention, my dissertation demonstrates how recent South Korean cinema made between 1998 and the first decade of the twenty-first century rearticulates South Korea as a site of economic disaster, ongoing historical trauma and what I call impassible “transmodernity” (compulsory capitalist restructuring alongside, and in conflict with, deep-seated tradition). Made during the first years after the 1997 Asian Financial Crisis and the 2008 Global Financial Crisis, the films under consideration here visualize the various dystopian social and economic changes attendant upon epidemic capitalist restructuring: social alienation, familial fragmentation, and widening economic division.

  • 1 Mexican Film Censorship and the Creation of Regime Legitimacy
    Mexican Film Censorship and the Creation of Regime Legitimacy, 1913-1945 Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Reyna Marie Esquivel-King, M.A. Graduate Program in History The Ohio State University 2019 Dissertation Committee: Dr. Stephanie Smith, Advisor Dr. Laura Podalsky Dr. Stanley Blake 1 Copyrighted by Reyna Marie Esquivel-King 2019 2 Abstract My dissertation, entitled, “Mexican Film Censorship and the Creation of Regime Legitimacy, 1913-1945,” argues that Mexican government officials used cinema censorship to disseminate a positive image of Mexico and Mexicans as modern and prosperous, and attempted to create an appearance of stability and control. Utilizing archival sources, newspapers, journals, and film propaganda, I examine how regimes use film censorship as a tool to legitimize their power through images. Specifically, I focus on representations of women, the indigenous, and Mexicans in U.S. cinema. The officials realized the significant persuasive and influential power that visual media had over its vast and far-reaching audiences, especially the increasingly popular form of film. They saw censorship as an efficient and effective tool they could use to create and/or change the course of any given tide of public sentiment or opinion. They implemented film censorship and the use of positive imagery to serve two purposes. One reason being to convince international audiences of Mexico’s status as a modern, powerful, and independent nation. The second was to persuade domestic audiences of the Mexican government’s legitimacy to rule and restore a sense of national pride in order to breed a common desire for national unity.

In the same year, 1899, he pro- duced three of his finest historical dramas: "The Saga of the Folkungs," "Gustavus Vasa," and "Eric XIV." Just before, he had finished "Advent," which he described as **A Mystery," and which was published together with "There Are Crimes and Crimes" under the common title of "In a Higher Court." Back of these dramas lay his strange confessional works, "Inferno" and "Legends," and the first two parts of his autobiographical dream-play, "Toward Damascus"—all of which were finished between May, 1897, and some time in the latter part of 1898.

Latido has collaborated with prestigious filmmakers such as Juan Jose Campanella (“The Weasels”, “The Secret In Their Eyes” – Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film), Carlos Saura (“J: Beyond Flamenco”, “Fados”), Andres Wood (“Violeta Went To Heaven” and “Machuca”), just to mention some of them. Moreover, we support established arthouse directors such as Krzysztof Zanussi, Mariano Cohn and Gastón Duprat. On the other hand, we work with box office hits such as “Champions“ by Javier Fesser and “The Best Summer Of My Life” by Dani de la Orden. Likewise, Latido seeks after rising up new talents like Bartosz M. Kowalski (“Playground”) and Rodrigo Sorogoyen (“The Realm”, “May God Save Us”). We are also convinced that there’s a market for movies by striking new women directors, such as Pepa San Martin (“Rara”), Laura Mora (“Killing Jesus”) and Arantxa Echevarría (“Carmen & Lola”). Multi-audience animations and ground-breaking documentaries are also a must in our catalogue. FILM LIBRARY 1973. Uruguay is governed by a military dictatorship.

I enjoy the bold and innovative, versus the cute and playful. My training and education in this developing branch of theatre has undoubtedly exposed me to the many accomplishments of the American TYA system, but quite often – through attending conferences, as well as participating in class discussions – I find that many debates/conversations center around what more we need to do in this field or what else we can do to make this field more relevant and interesting to young people.

El CBA quiso sumarse a este homenaje acogiendo las representaciones de dos de sus obras más significativas: La señorita Julia y El pelícano, y la conferencia en torno al genial escritor que dictó Erik Höök, subdirector del Museo Strindberg de Estocolmo, y que Minerva reproduce. los pequeños, los grandes y la Señorita Julia Erik Höök ¿Por qué suscita Strindberg tanta atención?
