El político hizo un gesto y despareció el mago”. Woody Allen Uno de los acontecimientos quizás más relevantes que ayuda a comprender el estrecho vínculo entre cultura y política es como ambas se influencian y se retroalimentan entre sí. El cine ha bebido mucho de la historia, y de los acontecimientos que un grupo de elegidos han dirigido desde su tablero. Estas personas y sus gobiernos han procurado a su modo, usar la dimensión de las artes para transmitir su mensaje. Del mismo modo encontramos a diversas personalidades consideradas intelectuales que se han posicionado en un bando u otro así como opinando sobre los movimientos de los diferentes actores. La combinación de cultura y política tiene -
Navy News Week 20-1
NAVY NEWS WEEK 20-1 13 May 2018 ReCAAP Warns of Abu Sayyaf Kidnapping Threat in Malaysia Asian piracy watchdog ReCAAP ISC issued a warning on May 1st to seafarers over crew abduction threat posed by members of Abu Sayyaf in Malaysia. Aby Sayyaf is one of the most violent jihadist groups in the southern Philippines, notorious for kidnappings for ransom. “The group will be using a blue 3-Engine speedboat and is expected to be underway to Sabah within the next 24 hours,” ReCAAP said, citing information from Phillippine Focal Point. As informed, the group is planning to kidnap mariners operating in the area. “All vessels transiting the area are advised to exercise extreme caution when transiting in the waters of Lahad Datu and surrounding waters in Sabah,” the warning further reads. Since October 2016, the perpetrators have begun to target ships of larger tonnage, such as Dong Bang Giant 2 , Royal 16 ,Southern Falcon and Kumiai Shagang. Once in their hands, mariners are often subject to months of captivity and sometimes even execution. This is in particular due to the fact that the Philippine government has adopted a no-ransom policy when dealing with the militant group. In an incident dating November 2016, six men were taken by the militants from the bulk carrier ROYAL 16 Bodies of two decapitated seafarers were found by the Philippine military in July 2017, while one seafarer was allegedly killed in a gunbattle in the same month. Two seafarers have been rescued from the group, while the fate of one more mariner remains unknown. -
African-American and Romani Filmic Representation and the ‘Posts’ of Post-Civil Rights and Post-EU Expansion
African-American and Romani Filmic Representation and the ‘Posts’ of Post-Civil Rights and Post-EU Expansion Sunnie Rucker-Chang [email protected] Assistant Professor of Slavic and East European Studies in the German Studies Department and Director of the European Studies Program University of Cincinnati, Ohio ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-6728-9780 Sunnie Rucker-Chang is an Assistant Professor of Slavic and East European Studies in the German Studies Department and Director of the European Studies Program at the University of Cincinnati. Her primary interests lie in contemporary cultural movements and identity formation in Central and Southeast Europe. In her work, she examines how literary and filmic works contribute to cultural landscapes and offer insight into the formation of nations and nationalities, particularly as they relate to minority-majority relations and constructs of difference. Vol. 1, No. 1, 2018, 132–148 • DOI: 10.29098/crs.v1i1.8 Abstract Keywords In this article I explore linkages between the evolution of African- • African-American American filmic representation and the patterns of Romani • Film representation in films from Central and Southeast Europe • Roma (CSEE). More specifically, I use the 1970s Blaxploitation movement • Race and subsequent shift of African-American representation into • Representation films reliant on a realist aesthetic to contextualize analysis of the shortcomings of the Civil Rights Movement to provide broad integration for African-Americans. Given other similarities between the racialized positionalities of African-Americans and Roma, I argue that Blaxploitation can illuminate trends in the cinematic depictions of CSEE Roma, since the Roma Rights movement has had to contend with similar shortcomings in achieving political, social, and economic inclusion. -
CLS Movie List
CLS Movie List # 1492 Revisited This documentary provides an alternative "indigenous" perspective on the quincentenary of Columbus's arrival. It features provocative artwork from the touring national exhibition Counter Colon-Ialismo as well as challenging commentary by artists and scholars. The film also raises important questions about the nature and construction of history. Paul Espinoza, 1992 Color: 28 min. A Adelante Mujeres (2 copies) This video spans over five centuries and focuses on the history of Mexican American women and Chicanas dating from the Spanish invasion to the present. Hundreds of previously unpublished photographs, art works, and contemporary footage pay tribute to the strength and resilience of women as the center of their families, activists in their communities, and contributors to American history. National Women's History Project, 1992 Color: 30 min. After the Earthquake Before the revolution and after the earthquake, a woman from Managua unexpectedly encounters her Nicaraguan fiancé in San Francisco. The film questions the pursuit of self-serving interests in the face of larger issues, in this case the Somoza regime, and integrates political concerns with a love story. National Women's History Project, 1992 Color: 30 min. Agitating for Change: The Alliance Schools Initiative Eight years ago, many schools in Texas, like this one, were plagued by gangs, truancy, and poor academic results. Teachers were ready to try something new. Enter Ernie Cortes—a community organizer who is also disturbed by seeing kids turned off at school. Cortes formed an Alliance Schools Initiative to shake up public schools in working-class districts. The Cortes strategy was to work with churches and community activists to break down old hierarchies, to excite and empower teachers, and to reconnect schools to their communities. -
