The Lessons is a series of short films in black and white and produced with scarce resources. Each “lesson” represents a fictional movie scene that Ferreras would like to watch and no one has filmed yet. He called them “lessons” because with these productions the director has been exploring the narrative film field, since he has mainly worked with commercials and documentaries. The Lessons were produced with almost no budget. Each short film was shot with just one rehearsal, in four hours and in a small space. However, despite the low financial and time resources, they has been widely acclaimed in festivals such as Sedona, Outfest in Los Angeles, the New York Latino Film Festival, the Havana Film Festival, Newfest and NY Shorts. Among the cast and crew, leading figures of the film world have collaborated with Alberto Ferreras for The Lessons, including: ■ Alex Stikich, photographer (Bombshell: the Hedy Lamar Story). ■ Actors and actresses Shirley Rumierk (NBC’s Rise), Olga Merediz (In The Heights), Francisco Solorzano (Floating Sunflowers), Suzanne Di Donna (The Sopranos), David Fraioli (Dexter), Ardes Quinn (Dames like Us) and John David West.

All overtime is mandatory. z Cheated on overtime pay: Overtime hours are not properly recorded or paid for. z Trapped in poverty: Ninety-cent minimum wage traps families in poverty, unable to meet school expenses for their children. z Workers cheated of healthcare and pensions; women denied paid maternity leave and care for their children; injured and sick workers denied healthcare and fired without legal severance: For years, management has stolen the healthcare and pension fees deducted from workers wages. These fees were supposed to be transferred to the Guatemalan Institute for Social Security, but the workers and their children were left without access to healthcare, despite the fact that they paid for it. Pension monies have also been stolen. Workers injured on the job and those falling ill not only fail to receive proper healthcare, but will be fired without the severance pay legally due them.

  • Hate It Or Love It: Global Crossover of Reggaetón Music in the Digital Age
    © 2014 Michelle Marie Rivera HATE IT OR LOVE IT: GLOBAL CROSSOVER OF REGGAETÓN MUSIC IN THE DIGITAL AGE BY MICHELLE MARIE RIVERA DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Communications with a minor in Latina/Latino Studies in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2014 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Professor Angharad N. Valdivia, Chair Professor Lisa Nakamura Associate Professor Isabel Molina Guzmán Associate Professor Richard T. Rodríguez ABSTRACT This dissertation critically examines reggaetón music as it is discursively constructed through mainstream media and Internet debates about the genre (e.g., online music forums, social networking profile pages) during and after the 2004 global musical crossover of reggaetón. Using various case studies to critically examine processes of both textual production and reception to reggaetón, I interrogate if and how the music industry constructs and simultaneously targets a Latin global and US Latino market for reggaetón through various marketing strategies and via mainstream media coverage in the US and abroad. Considering textual production and reception as equally significant processes that are constantly in contention with one another, I examine how active and participatory audiences online, particularly fans and anti-fans, negotiate reggaetón as a cultural text and in relation to the ways they are interpellated as the target market for it. Here, I apply Louis Althusser’s definition of interpellation, as “ideology’s ability to assign individuals to specific positions within its own communicative (semiotic) representations of reality” to the ways that the audience for reggaetón is constructed based on specific demographic features, such as ethnicity, race, age, income and/or language (Grossberg et al.
