Ladino and Indigenous Pageantry in Neocolonial Guatemala
THE EYE OF THE BEHOLDER: LADINO AND INDIGENOUS PAGEANTRY IN NEOCOLONIAL GUATEMALA by Jillian L. Kite A Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of The Dorothy F. Schmidt College of Arts and Letters In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts Florida Atlantic University Boca Raton, FL August 2014 Copyright by Jillian L. Kite 2014 ii iii ABSTRACT Author: Jillian L. Kite Title: The Eye of the Beholder: Ladino and Indigenous Pageantry in Neocolonial Guatemala Institution: Florida Atlantic University Thesis Co-Advisors: Dr. Josephine Beoku-Betts and Dr. Mark Harvey Degree: Master of Arts Year: 2014 In this thesis I utilize a feminist case study method to explore gender, race, authenticity, and nationalism in the context of globalization. Each year, Guatemala conducts two ethno-racially distinct pageants – one indigenous, the other ladina. The indigenous pageant prides itself on the authentic display of indigenous culture and physiognomies. On the contrary, during the westernized ladina pageant, contestants strive to adhere to western beauty ideals beauty and cultural norms engendered by discourses of whiteness. However, when the winner advances to the Miss World Pageant, they misappropriate elements of Mayan culture to express an authentic national identity in a way that is digestible to an international audience. In the study that follows, I examine the ways in which national and international pageants are reflective of their iv respective levels of social and political conflict and how they serve as mechanisms of manipulation by the elite at the national and global levels. v THE EYE OF THE BEHOLDER: LADINO AND INDIGENOUS PAGEANTRY IN NEOCOLONIAL GUATEMALA I. -
Of 2 19Th August 2012 Chorus Against FAC Members Gets Louder The
Chorus against FAC members gets louder The newly-constituted Forest Advisory Committee (FAC) by the Ministry of Environment and Forest (MoEF) has kicked up a controversy over the choice of two of its independent members, who have been alleged to have a clear interest in mining and hydroelectricity. It’s their conflict of interest that has led environmentalists to be up in arms against the duo’s selection. The FAC is the statutory body that decides on key issues related to diversion of forest land for road, mining and other development projects in the country. In a letter (dated August 20), written to Environment Minister Jayanthi Natarajan, a large number of environmentalists have urged her to immediately cancel the appointments of two of its members KP Nyati and Prof NP Todria as independent members of the FAC and reconstitute the committee. Human urine can be used to reduce pollution Apart from oceans, soil, rocks and trees, human and animal urine can also absorb carbon dioxide (CO2) and help reduce pollution, says a Spanish researcher. Absorbing CO2 and other greenhouse gases in cities would require millions of tonnes of some naturally occurring substance. Urine is produced in large quantities and is close to the pollution hubs of large cities. “For every molecule of urea in urine, one mole (a unit to measure the quantity of a substance) of ammonium bicarbonate is produced along with one mole of ammonia that could be used to absorb one mole of atmospheric CO2,” said study author Manuel Jimenez Aguilar, the Journal of Hazardous Materials reports. -

South Korea has reached an agreement with the U.S. that allows the southeast Asian nation to more than double the range of its future ballistic missiles, as the country grapples with what it considers a growing threat from its disavowed northern portion. The updated missiles will be capable of travelling nearly eight feet—up from the current three—and will be available in a wide variety of new flavored-combustions, including Toasty Dermis®, Pyongflamed®, Koreans BBQ™, Sriracha Seoulmate® and Whole Flax 'n Fallout™. ↓ this dumb thing was made-ed sometime during October, 2012, methinks A recent study by the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation has revealed that the current fall television schedule features more gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered characters amongst its scripted offerings than any other season in the medium's one-hundred-plus-year history. Among the new and returning programs most representative of the LGBT community, ABC's I Muff Lucy; ESPN's This Week In NASCAR; The Weather Channel's ongoing documentary series History's Gayest Hurricanes: From Bruce, Thom and Rodd, To Turbo, Brett Butler and Xena; USA Network's Here Comes Robin: Holy Cow Was That Closet Stuffy, Batman!; and Fox News Channel's Fox & Friends stand out—with each respective show sporting an overwhelmingly homosexual cast of characters—while the lattermost stands above all, unexpectedly boasting a 138% LGBT-character count—a first for any fictional comedy program. ↓ this dumb thing was made-ed sometime during October, 2012, methinks A Massachusetts mother who entrusted her son with the routine task of taking the family's eight-year-old pet cat, Lady, to a veterinarian's office to undergo a standard flea bath has learned the animal was instead mistakenly euthanized, after a tragic paperwork mix-up. -
