Billotte Theisfinal Billotte 1 El Alma griega Greek Tragedy in Latin America Today Thesis by: Katherine J. Billotte Department of Classics and Philosophy Billotte 2 I, Katherine Billotte, hereby declare that this thesis and the work presented in it is entirely my own. Where I have consulted the work of others, this is always clearly stated. Signed: ___Katherine J. Billotte //s//_______ Date: _________1/10/2016_______________ Billotte 3 Abstract: This thesis examines contemporary productions of Greek tragedy in Latin America through the lens of postcolonial, feminist and queer theory. There is a comparative focus on the conflicting influences of French and American culture on Latin American aesthetic history as well as an emphasis on the body as a site of oppression and resistance. The focus of this thesis is on theatrical and cinematic productions primarily produced between the mid-1990s and the present. Moreover, it should be noted that while the actual linguistic geography of Latin America is quite complicated, the work discussed herein is primarily from the Hispanophone.

America” in New York’s Revista Illustrada. On the 30th of that month, the essay was republished in Mexico’s El Partido Liberal. In the now famed call for Latin American cultural independence from both European and American imperialism, Martí included a rejection of the primacy of the Greco-Roman Classical tradition: La Universidad europea ha de ceder a la universidad americana. La historia de América, de los incas acá, he de enseñarse a dedillo, aunque no se enseñe la de los arcontes de Grecia. Nuestra Grecia es preferible a la Grecia que no es nuestra.1 Despite Martí’s plea, “la Grecia que no es nuestra” has been far from neglected in Latin American literature and culture. This thesis seeks to document and theorise some of the most recent of those engagements with Western antiquity on the Latin American stage, with a focus on Greek tragedy. In doing so, it hopes to shed light on how the contemporary reception of Greek tragedy in various Latin American countries reflects the political and aesthetic conditions in the region as well as the current relationship between Latin America and the West. Methodology This thesis sets out to answer two fundamental questions about the reception of Greek tragedy in contemporary Latin America: (A) What have been the primary cultural, social and educational vehicles through which Greek tragedy has entered contemporary Latin American 1 Martí, 1891: “The European university must give way to the American university. The history of America, from the Inca onward, must be taught in precise detail, even if the archons of Greece are neglected. Our Greece is preferable to the Greece that is not ours.” Billotte 7 cultural life? and (B) How does the reception of Greek tragedy in Latin America reflect wider social and political realities in the region? In addition to this introduction and a conclusion, the thesis has two parts. The first section is the largest of these. In this section, the relationship of contemporary Latin American adaptations of Greek tragedy to nineteenth- and twentieth-century Western aesthetic trends is examined with particular attention to how French and American influences interact with indigenous cultures in the Latin American context. To this end, the section will examine the relationship between Surrealism, the Theatre of the Absurd, and magical realism and the place of indigenous and postcolonial theory and aesthetics in understanding the reception of Greek tragedy in Latin America. At the heart of this analysis is a concern with how Latin American identity effects the Latin American engagement with Greek tragedy. To this purpose, this chapter will begin our discussion of the role of the body in the understanding and articulation of identity in Latin American productions of Greek tragedy. The subsequent section will look at two specific instances of the intersection between identity and the adaptation of Greek tragedy in the Latin American context, first through feminist adaptions and then through queer ones. This section will both include discussions of the translation of Western identity politics, its debates, and images into the Latin American context and the aesthetic and cultural implications of this translation. The significance of the body to identities centred on gender and sexuality will allow us to continue our discussion of and use of the body as a discursive tool that began in the previous chapter. These two sections will be bound together by this discussion

  • Queer Aztlán in Cherríe Moraga's the Hungry Woman: a Mexican Medea
    QUEER AZTLÁN IN CHERRÍE MORAGA’S THE HUNGRY WOMAN: A MEXICAN MEDEA Allison Ramay Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile Abstract Drawing on Cherríe Moraga’s semi-autobiographical writings and varied scholarly work, this article contends that in her play, The Hungry Woman: A Mexican Medea (2001), she not only critiques patriarchal heteronormativity, but she goes further by naming the necessary elements for a society in which her “Queer Aztlán” (1993), would be possible. Through a close reading of The Hungry Woman: A Mexican Medea (2001), this article demonstrates that the play not only focuses on the necessary deconstruction of patriarchal nationalism, but it also offers the unexpected seeds of change, found in the secondary character of Luna. By shifting our focus onto this character, we may better appreciate Moraga’s forward thinking and the kernels of “Queer Aztlán” expressed in this play. Keywords: “Queer Aztlán,” Medea/Coyolxauhqui/Coatlicue/Huitzilopochtli, Chac-Mool, The Hungry Woman, Aztlán, Patriarchal Nationalism. LA AZTLÁN QUEER EN THE HUNGRY WOMAN: A MEXICAN MEDEA DE CHERRÍE MORAGA Resumen Considerando las obras semi-autobiográficas de Cherríe Moraga y los textos críticos de 169 académicos, en este artículo mantenemos que en su obra dramática The Hungry Woman: A Mexican Medea (2001), Moraga no solo ofrece una crítica hacia la heteronormatividad patriarcal, sino que va más allá; nombra los elementos necesarios para una sociedad en la cual su concepto de “Queer Aztlán” (1993) sería posible. En la lectura que ofrecemos de esta obra, demostraremos que The Hungry Woman brinda semillas inesperadas de cambio a través del personaje secundario de Luna.

  • VG Interview: Cherrie Moraga
    VG Interview: Cherrie Moraga Maria-Antónia Oliver-Rotger (M-A O-R): What have been your major dramatic influences? Cherrie Moraga (CM): My major influence has been the bilingual- ism and working-class theater of the Chicano Teatro movements, especially El Teatro Campesino. Also the poetic sensuality of Fed- erico García Lorca. The teachings of María Irene Fornes allowed me to enter playwriting as a poet, to find the story through image and character, i.e. an organic place of the heart, rather than through the progressive plot-line (action-driven) structure. I have been inspired by the technique of other playwrights: the language and structural inventiveness of African-American Suzan Lori Parks, the courage of the female characterization of the Puerto Rican playwright Migdalia Cruz. The storytelling en voz alta de mis tías y mi mamá around the kitchen table introduced me (especially my mother) to the dramatic art of story-telling. M-A O-R: What caused you to start writing drama after having written poetry and prose? CM: After publishing Loving in the War Years (1983) which was very autobiographical, my own story had finally been told on the page. This allowed space within me for character (some one other than myself to enter) my unconscious. The character started speaking out loud. This was Corky from Giving Up the Ghost. It was oral. Thus, the beginnings of dramatic writing. Interview by: Maria-Antónia Oliver-Rotger Date: January 2000 1 © 2009 Regents of the University of Minnesota. All rights reserved.

  • “Feminizing Politics”: the Case of Barcelona En Comú
    Master Thesis: Integrated Natural Resources Management (M. Sc.) Dissecting “Feminizing politics”: the case of Barcelona en Comú Submitted by: Name: Jean François Donoso Registration number: 586041 Email: [email protected] 1st Examiner: Prof. Dr. phil. Christine Bauhardt 2nd Examiner: M.A. Meike Brückner Berlin, February 2020 Acknowledgements To my interview partners of BComú who opened their homes and offices, took their time and shared with me their thoughts and experiences. To my supervisors Christine Bauhardt and Meike Brückner who guided me through the research and gave me thoughtful ideas that facilitated what I researched. To my friends that accompanied me during the whole process of the master, especially Ruby, Chanaye, Charlotte, and Thúy. To my partner Nicole. Abstract The citizen platform Barcelona en Comú (BComú) started in 2014 as a response to the Spanish economic crisis and the anti-austerity policies from traditional political parties. The organization –which currently governs the Municipality of Barcelona– emerged in the Spanish political sphere with the concept of feminizing politics: a term understood not only as gender equality in institutions but also an open door that goes beyond politics-as-usual. It means inserting empathy into the core of political action (e.g., collaboration, dialogue, horizontality, etc.), questioning traditional understandings of strong leadership, learning how to distribute municipal power and services throughout society, and decentering the role of institutions towards a collective self-governance. Drawing on the theoretical framework of ecofeminism this research analyzes and contributes to the interpretation of feminizing politics by members of BComú and those academics who are closest to the organization, and shows how members are including the concept into daily practices at work.

So what does classics (traditionally, the study and promotion of ‘Graeco-Roman’ and—at times—Egyptian antiquity) have to do with intersectionality, the understanding that we simultaneously occupy multiple, overlapping, and complexly-interacting social positions? What relation does Plato, ancient Greek drama, and early-Christian asceticism have with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Huey Newton, Womanism, LGBTQ rights, the Chicanx movement, and Black Lives Matter? This course introduces students to a critical social-justice approach to modern classical reception. By using a variety of media and disciplinary approaches, we will study the little-publicized history of how classical antiquity has been received among structurally oppressed and marginalized peoples in the United States, from the country’s founding to the present day. Along this timeline, we will see how the classics has perennially served as a site of political contestation: how normative conceptions of the ‘classical’ have been used to underwrite exclusion and oppression; and how a variety of progressive and radical U.S.

  • Hendricksonc 2017 Final.Pdf (701.1Kb)
    Chloe Hendrickson Carroll College Honors Thesis May 15, 2017 The “Mad” Woman in Medea and Decolonial Feminist Revisions: An Intersectional Feminist Analysis of Three Plays Abstract: This thesis focuses on Medea, the classical Greek play by Euripides that was first produced in 431 B.C., and its feminist, queer, and decolonial revisions in contemporary global contexts. These revisions include The Hungry Woman: A Mexican Medea by Chicana queer feminist author Cherríe Moraga and Black Medea by Indigenous Australian playwright Wesley Enoch. Common to these primary texts are themes of Medea’s madness and anger, which are tied to the fraught questions of home, nation, and the Other. Each section of this thesis focuses on a different play, analyzing the intersectional feminist politics of Medea’s madness across varying sociopolitical and historical contexts. While all the individual sections of this thesis develop a nuanced argument specific to the sociopolitical context of the play, the guiding theme throughout the thesis is that readers must interpret Medea’s madness through an intersectional feminist lens. Each section situates the play within its specific historical and geographical context and interprets Medea’s madness within that context. Ultimately, this thesis argues that the function of Medea’s madness is determined by her marginal, exiled locations as a woman and an ethnic Other within the domestic space and the nation-space. Reading the source text and the revisions through an intersectional feminist framework allows the reader to see how Medea must navigate “home” as a gendered, racialized, and/or nationalist space, as well as a discursive construct.

  • Desire and Homosexuality in the '90S Latino Theatre Maria Teresa
    SPRING 1999 87 Out of the Fringe: Desire and Homosexuality in the '90s Latino Theatre Maria Teresa Marrero The title of this essay refers to a collection of theatre and performance pieces written and performed between 1995 and 1998 by some of the most prolific Latino artists working in the late 20th century.l One the characteristics that marks them is the lack of overall homogeneity found among the pieces. Some, like Svich's Alchemy of Desire/Dead-Man's Blues (1997) and Fur (1995) by Migdalia Cruz, function within an internal terrain that the play itself constructs, making no allusions to identifiable, specific, geographic locations (be they Hispanic or Anglo). Theirs is a self-contained world set within what could be termed the deliberations of language, the psychological and the theatrical. Others, like Alfaro's Cuerpo politizado, (1997), Greetings from a Queer Señorita (1995) by Monica Palacios, Trash (1995) by Pedro Monge-Rafuls, Stuff! (1997) by Nao Bustamante and Coco Fusco, and Mexican Medea (1997) by Cherríe Moraga, clearly take a stance at the junction between the sexual, sexual preference, AIDS, postcolonial discourse and identity politics. While the collection of plays and performances also includes fine work by Oliver Mayer, Nilo Cruz and Naomi Iizuka, for the purpose of this essay I shall concentrate on the above mentioned pieces. The heterogeneous and transitory space of these texts is marked by a number of characteristics, the most prominent and innovative of which is the foregrounding of sexual identities that defy both Latino and Anglo cultural stereotypes. By contemplating the central role of the physical body and its multiplicity of desires/states, I posit this conjunction as the temporary space for the performance of theatrical, cultural, and gender expressions.
