  • Transculturalism in Chicano Literature, Visual Art, and Film Master's
    Transculturalism in Chicano Literature, Visual Art, and Film Master’s Thesis Presented to The Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences Brandeis University Department of Global Studies Jerónimo Arellano, Advisor In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts in Global Studies by Sarah Mabry August 2018 Transculturalism in Chicano Literature, Visual Art, and Film Copyright by Sarah Mabry © 2018 Dedication Here I acknowledge those individuals by name and those remaining anonymous that have encouraged and inspired me on this journey. First, I would like to dedicate this to my great grandfather, Jerome Head, a surgeon, published author, and painter. Although we never had the opportunity to meet on this earth, you passed along your works of literature and art. Gleaned from your manuscript entitled A Search for Solomon, ¨As is so often the way with quests, whether they be for fish or buried cities or mountain peaks or even for money or any other goal that one sets himself in life, the rewards are usually incidental to the journeying rather than in the end itself…I have come to enjoy the journeying.” I consider this project as a quest of discovery, rediscovery, and delightful unexpected turns. I would like mention one of Jerome’s six sons, my grandfather, Charles Rollin Head, a farmer by trade and an intellectual at heart. I remember your Chevy pickup truck filled with farm supplies rattling under the backseat and a tape cassette playing Mozart’s piano sonata No. 16. This old vehicle metaphorically carried a hard work ethic together with an artistic sensibility.

Valenzuela, Arizona State University In relation to Chicano cinema, film director Lourdes Portillo has broken with traditional works filmed mostly by men and has developed instead a new female perspective—one that is internationalist and questions male hegemony. In the near past, traditional cinema never gave Chicanas the roles they deserved. This was in part because Chicano filmmakers pro - duced works that centered on the 1960s Chicano Power Movement. These Chicano male films used “forms of cultural production resolutely connected to the social and political activism of the Chicano Movement.

This course is an historical survey of Chicana and Chicano media from the Chicano/a Movimiento Era (1960s) to the present. We will examine films, television, and other media forms made “by, for, and about” Chicanas/os to learn about Chicana/o history, politics, and culture in the US and in relation to other US Latina/o groups. Texts include classics such as Born in East L.A.

These and other examples of Chicana/o film and media will form the core of our studies in this course. Our overall object is to consider historical, economic, social, political, cultural, and educational factors affecting Chicana/o and Latina/o access to and participation in the film industry, as well as their representations on-screen, over the past five decades.

  • Crime, Liminality, and the Uncanny in Early Chicano Literature
    Latin American Literary Review Goldwin Smith Hall, Cornell University • Ithaca, NY 14853 • 607-255-4155 Volume 44 / Number 88 2017 E-mail: [email protected] • Website: www.lalrp.net Are Pachucos Subalterns?: Crime, Liminality, and the Uncanny in Early Chicano Literature Paco Martín del Campo ABSTRACT: This article studies the novels of Daniel Venegas, Jovita González, and Américo Paredes that they wrote between 1928- 1938. Indigeneity, marriage, liminality, and volition are major themes in the works of each author, all of which analyze the state of Chicanos in the Southwest during the first decades after the Mexican Revolution. While their plots and characters differ, they are all rooted in the conflict between First Nations and colonial settlers and had to grapple with the existence of pachucos. Because it was necessary for pachucos and pachucas to mediate between their Mexican-born relatives and Euro-Americans, they best represented the state of Mexican America during that era. KEYWORDS: Indigeneity, la chicanada, crime and punishment, liminality, settler-colonialism From 1925 until 1938, three writers named Daniel Venegas, Jovita it is now much easier to access both of González’s works, which González, and Américo Paredes wrote novels that analyze the state she titled Caballero and The Dew on the Thorn, and Paredes’ George of Mexican emigrants and their children living in the U.S. Southwest Washington Gómez.
