Transculturalism in Chicano Literature, Visual Art, and Film Master's
Transculturalism in Chicano Literature, Visual Art, and Film Master’s Thesis Presented to The Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences Brandeis University Department of Global Studies Jerónimo Arellano, Advisor In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts in Global Studies by Sarah Mabry August 2018 Transculturalism in Chicano Literature, Visual Art, and Film Copyright by Sarah Mabry © 2018 Dedication Here I acknowledge those individuals by name and those remaining anonymous that have encouraged and inspired me on this journey. First, I would like to dedicate this to my great grandfather, Jerome Head, a surgeon, published author, and painter. Although we never had the opportunity to meet on this earth, you passed along your works of literature and art. Gleaned from your manuscript entitled A Search for Solomon, ¨As is so often the way with quests, whether they be for fish or buried cities or mountain peaks or even for money or any other goal that one sets himself in life, the rewards are usually incidental to the journeying rather than in the end itself…I have come to enjoy the journeying.” I consider this project as a quest of discovery, rediscovery, and delightful unexpected turns. I would like mention one of Jerome’s six sons, my grandfather, Charles Rollin Head, a farmer by trade and an intellectual at heart. I remember your Chevy pickup truck filled with farm supplies rattling under the backseat and a tape cassette playing Mozart’s piano sonata No. 16. This old vehicle metaphorically carried a hard work ethic together with an artistic sensibility. -
18 Ethnicity
444 Carmen Fought 18 Ethnicity CARMEN FOUGHT What is ethnicity, and how is it reflected in language variation and change? Just as labeling by sex (i.e. assigning a speaker to the category “male” or “female”) cannot substitute for a careful study of the social practices that constitute gender in a particular community (cf. Eckert and McConnell-Ginet 1992), race as a category is useless to us without an understanding of the construction of ethnicity by individuals and communities. As has been shown for gender, ethnicity is not about what one is, but rather about what one does. Unlike sex, however, where individuals can be grouped biologically into one of two basic categories, and those who cannot are relatively easy to identify, the category of race itself has historically been socially constructed, and is extremely difficult to delimit scientifically (as Zack 1993 and Healey 1997, among others, show). Moreover, the population of “mixed-race” individuals is increasing dramat- ically in a number of countries, affecting the functions and definition of ethni- city. In the USA, individuals whose parents represent two different ethnic groups, for example, might choose to identify themselves as belonging to one of these ethnicities only, to both of them, or to neither, with resulting effects on language (Azoulay 1997, Harriman 2000). There is also the case of immigrants of African descent from Spanish-speaking countries such as Panama, who may bring with them a “combined” cultural ethnicity, e.g. “Black Latina” (Thomas 2000). Le-Page and Tabouret-Keller (1985) found that a main feature of the construc- tion of ethnicity in Belize was the unusually high number of individuals who would describe themselves as “Mixed” (1985: 244). -

The Sounds of Identity: a Case Study on Mexican American College Students in Texas
The Sounds of Identity: A Case Study on Mexican American College Students in Texas Author: Khalia Nicole Grady Faculty Mentors: George Yancey, Ph.D., Department of Sociology, Beverly Davenport, Ph.D. and Megan Gorby Department of Anthropology, University of North Texas Department and College Affiliation: Department of Linguistics, Swarthmore College The Sounds of Identity 2 Bio: Khalia Nicole Grady is an undergraduate majoring in Linguistics at Swarthmore College. She is a member of the Richard Rubin Scholar Mentoring Program and the Mellon Mays Undergraduate Fellowship Program. Her academic interest ranges from the fields of second language acquisition in adults, semantics, and syntax to sociolinguistics. After completing her bachelor’s degree, she hopes to pursue her doctoral degree in applied linguistics and work with non-native speakers of English towards women’s empowerment. The Sounds of Identity 3 Abstract: This article discusses how language use reflects the identity of Mexican-American college students in Texas. Eight Texan college students were interviewed. The length of time students' families resided in the US was quite variable; the amount of Mexican heritage varied somewhat. These factors predicated neither the students' use and knowledge, nor their exposure to the range of the languages associated with youths of Mexican heritage living the US. The “Social Identity Theory” and “Language-Centered Perspective on Culture” (Johnson, 2000) approaches were used in the conceptualization of the role of language in identity construction and to analysis of the data. The results of this study show how Mexican-American college students use language to portray their identity and membership to social groups. -

Crime, Liminality, and the Uncanny in Early Chicano Literature
Latin American Literary Review Goldwin Smith Hall, Cornell University • Ithaca, NY 14853 • 607-255-4155 Volume 44 / Number 88 2017 E-mail: [email protected] • Website: www.lalrp.net Are Pachucos Subalterns?: Crime, Liminality, and the Uncanny in Early Chicano Literature Paco Martín del Campo ABSTRACT: This article studies the novels of Daniel Venegas, Jovita González, and Américo Paredes that they wrote between 1928- 1938. Indigeneity, marriage, liminality, and volition are major themes in the works of each author, all of which analyze the state of Chicanos in the Southwest during the first decades after the Mexican Revolution. While their plots and characters differ, they are all rooted in the conflict between First Nations and colonial settlers and had to grapple with the existence of pachucos. Because it was necessary for pachucos and pachucas to mediate between their Mexican-born relatives and Euro-Americans, they best represented the state of Mexican America during that era. KEYWORDS: Indigeneity, la chicanada, crime and punishment, liminality, settler-colonialism From 1925 until 1938, three writers named Daniel Venegas, Jovita it is now much easier to access both of González’s works, which González, and Américo Paredes wrote novels that analyze the state she titled Caballero and The Dew on the Thorn, and Paredes’ George of Mexican emigrants and their children living in the U.S. Southwest Washington Gómez.
