A Queer Chicana/O Ethics of Representation Rasquache Camp in the Novels of Rechy and Luna Lemus
A Queer Chicana/o Ethics of Representation Rasquache Camp in the Novels of Rechy and Luna Lemus Jason A. Bartles Abstract: This essay places into dialogue two queer Chicana/o novels, John Rechy’s City of Night (1963) and Felicia Luna Lemus’s Trace Elements of Random Tea Parties (2003), in order to explore their common aesthetic sensibility. This sensibility is what I call rasquache camp, a stance that arises from the complex entanglement of rasquachismo’s utilitarian aspects of making do and the funky irreverence of camp, without resulting in a dialectical sublation between the two. This essay intervenes in the recent debates on the appropriateness of using rasquachismo as a tool for studying (queer) Chicana/o cultural productions. Informed by rasquache camp, I contend that these two novels develop and employ an ethics of representing marginalized queer and Chicana/o subjects who face insurmountable adversity by overturning the paradigms of morality and literary value, not from idealized, theoretical stances but by making use of imperfect, often cobbled-together solutions. As the future-oriented projects of these novels come to a close, both texts consciously fail to achieve their goals, but this failure allows the future to remain open to new and better aesthetic and ethical interventions by others. Forty years separates the publication of John Rechy’s City of Night (1963) and Felicia Luna Lemus’s Trace Elements of Random Tea Parties (2003). This period saw important developments in the cultural history of Chicana/o and queer peoples, including the rise of the Chicano civil rights movement, the Stonewall riots, and the increasing visibility of literature, art, and criticism by and about queer Chicana/os, with the groundbreaking publication of acclaimed works by Gloria Anzaldúa and Cherríe Moraga. -
Style Sheet for Aztlán: a Journal of Chicano Studies
Style Sheet for Aztlán: A Journal of Chicano Studies Articles submitted to Aztlán are accepted with the understanding that the author will agree to all style changes made by the copyeditor unless the changes drastically alter the author’s meaning. This style sheet is intended for use with articles written in English. Much of it also applies to those written in Spanish, but authors planning to submit Spanish-language texts should check with the editors for special instructions. 1. Reference Books Aztlán bases its style on the Chicago Manual of Style, 15th edition, with some modifications. Spelling follows Merriam-Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary, 11th edition. This sheet provides a guide to a number of style questions that come up frequently in Aztlán. 2. Titles and Subheads 2a. Article titles No endnotes are allowed on titles. Acknowledgments, information about the title or epigraph, or other general information about an article should go in an unnumbered note at the beginning of the endnotes (see section 12). 2b. Subheads Topical subheads should be used to break up the text at logical points. In general, Aztlán does not use more than two levels of subheads. Most articles have only one level. Authors should make the hierarchy of subheads clear by using large, bold, and/or italic type to differentiate levels of subheads. For example, level-1 and level-2 subheads might look like this: Ethnocentrism and Imperialism in the Imperial Valley Social and Spatial Marginalization of Latinos Do not set subheads in all caps. Do not number subheads. No endnotes are allowed on subheads. -

From a Grain of Mustard Seed by Cynthia Davis
FROM A GRAIN OF MUSTARD SEED BY CYNTHIA DAVIS ISBN 978-0-557-02763-7 THE MUSTARD SEED IS PLANTED 1872-1882 The seed that became St. John’s Episcopal Cathedral was found in the hearts of the small group of faithful Episcopalians who settled in Albuquerque. As a minority of the population, the Anglos found comfort in the familiarity of reading the 1789 Book of Common Prayer, the King James Bible, and the Calvary Cathechism. Very likely they followed the mandate in the Prayer Book stating, “The Psalter shall be read through once every month, as it is there appointed, both for Morning and for Evening Prayer.”i Under the strong spiritual direction of the Rev. Henry Forrester, both St. John’s and missions around the District would be planted, land purchased, and churches built. Other seeds were being planted in Albuquerque. Various denominations built churches in the midst of the homes where the new arrivals lived. Members could easily walk to the church of their choice. Many corner lots were taken up with small places of worship. Some Anglos attended the Methodist church built of adobe in 1880 at Third and Lead. Dr. Sheldon Jackson, established First Presbyterian Church in 1880. A one-room church was built at Fifth and Silver two years later under Rev. James Menaul. It was enlarged in 1905, and after a fire in 1938, the building was rebuilt and improved. (In 1954 it moved to 215 Locust.)ii St. Paul’s Lutheran Church was not built until 1891 at Sixth and Silver.

DENISE LUGO: Your first language was Spanish then? RAMSES NORIEGA: My first language is Spanish. English is my second adoptive language. DENISE LUGO: When you came, where did you go? Where did you settle? RAMSES NORIEGA: I consider myself a sprit of movement and my first movement was from Caborca to Mexicali. From Mexicali I developed my world perspective of humanity and I developed my philosophy and it was there that began to do my artwork. My first art works that I could remember were in two forms. They were what we used to call monitos de barro (clay/mud dolls) and they were graphics, drawing with pencil and with sticks or we would scratch the ground a lot and draw. And with the pencils we also used to do a lot of drawing on books, on wood, on anything that would be on flat that would take a pencil. I recall images from those days. The types of images we used to do in those days there was “El Santo” which was a luchador (Mexican wrestler) and we liked that. And there was another one, “Superman”. Which is called “Superman” in English and we used these characters. -
