    1 La Frontera- The U.S. Border Reflected in the Cinematic Lens David R. Maciel1 Introduction The U.S.-Mexico border/la frontera has the distinction of being the only place in the world where a highly developed country and a developing one meet and interact.2 This is an area of historical conflict, convergence, conflict, dependency, and interdependency, all types of transboundary links, as well as a society of astounding complexity and an evolving and extraordinarily rich culture. Distinct border styles of music, literature, art, media, and certainly visual practices have flourished in the region. Several of the most important cultural and artistic-oriented institutions, such as universities, research institutes, community centers, and museums are found in the border states of both countries. Beginning in the late 19th century and all the way to the present certain journalists, writers and visual artists have presented a distorted vision of the U.S. - Mexican border. The borderlands have been portrayed mostly as a lawless, rugged, and perilous area populated by settlers who sought a new life in the last frontier, but also criminals and crime fighters whose deeds became legendary. As Gordon W. Allport stated: 1 Emeritus Professor, University of New Mexico. Currently is Adjunct Professor at the Centro de Investigación y Docencia Económicas (CIDE) in Mexico City. 2 Paul Ganster and Alan Sweedler.

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.

Some days I smell nothing until she opens her chest. Her polished nails click against tarnished metal Cleek! Then the creek of the hinge and the memories open, naked and total. There. A satin ribbon curled around a ringlet of baby fine hair. And there. A red and white tassel, its threads thick and tangled. Look here. She picks up a newspaper clipping, irons out the wrinkles between her hands. I kept this. We remember this. It is ours. iv ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Until quite recently, I did not know how many years ago this dissertation began. It did not begin with my first day in the Ph.D. program at the University of New Mexico in 2000. Nor did it begin with my first day as a graduate student at the University of Texas at Austin in 1997.

  • 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.

  • 1 Chicano and Chicana Art Instructor: Dr. Jennifer A. González History Of
    Chicano and Chicana Art Instructor: Dr. Jennifer A. González History of Art and Visual Culture University of California, Santa Cruz A Chicana/o has been described as a Mexican-American with a political sense of identity linked to social justice, or alternatively, as “a Mexican-American with a non-Anglo image of him/herself.” The 1960s saw the rise of the Chicana/o Movement, a grass-roots and community-based political organizing effort to improve working conditions, education and civil rights for Mexican-Americans, particularly in California and the Southwest. From its inception, the Chicana/o Movement attracted commited artists who created a unique set of aesthetic frameworks and social interventions that remain some of the most important and innovative American art of the last few decades. The course is structured thematically, exploring for example how theorists and historians have made sense of the aesthetic vocabulary of Chicana/o art, how Chicana/o artists have redefined the boundaries of cultural identity through feminist and queer reinterpretations, how critical artistic practice can become a form of social activism, how public space and urban life are shaped by social interventions, etc. Although the course will place emphasis on the visual arts, we will also consider film, theater, spoken word and performance art. Course objectives: Students in this course will develop a working vocabulary and visual knowledge about Chicana/o art and artists. Students will learn about the social, political and historical contexts of Chicana/o art, as well as key theoretical concepts regarding representation and aesthetic practice. Ideally students will come away with a much richer understanding of Chicana/o culture in California and the Southwest, and the ability to think in more nuanced terms about cultural difference and social inequality.

  • SANDRA MORGANA ----- ‘Y Por Quererte Tanto…
    1.- SANDRA MORGANA ----- Y por quererte tanto… Por el aspecto que presenta la cama, ha debido estar toda la noche peleando con alguien; seguramente, con la otra parte de ella misma. Todavía no tiene el equipaje terminado. Aun así Sandra desayuna con la parsimonia acostumbrada; lo mismo le da salir a una hora u otra. Pareciese que va al fin del mundo y para la toda la vida. Pero sólo es un largo verano lo que tiene por delante -en el pueblecito pesquero de siempre: Redes- para dejar atrás el bullicio, el calor, los enredos… Sin embargo aquella historia había resultado algo más que un simple enredo. Desde la ducha oye la música del móvil. Lo ignora. Quien quiera que sea ya volverá a llamar si realmente tiene interés en hablar con ella. -“Hola, igual aun estás durmiendo. Te llamo más tarde”- dice la voz del contestador. Su voz. Sólo que cuando habla así, de corrido, suena extraña. Un poco máquina. Definitivamente artificial. Sandra se agarra a esta idea para no ceder, para no pulsar la tecla “responder” y volver a oírle en vivo y en directo. No. Esto ha terminado. Recuerda la letra de aquella canción: ”No quiero volver a soñar despierto/ni a ver un oasis en el desierto de tu corazón/soy tan solo un peón para ti”. Mientras termina el equipaje, Sandra repasa los tres últimos años en los que ha estado sometida a un continuo tira y afloja. No es que él fuese un ser indeciso que no sabía elegir, sino que lo quería todo, así que no podía decidirse por dejar nada.
