XIX-XX) Esta tesis estudia la formación de la identidad y la raza informada por la disciplina Estudios de la blancura. Como tal, la tesis conceptualiza la blancura española históricamente y analiza su representación en la narrativa española de prosa y cine. Esta investigación responde a dos preguntas: 1) ¿Cómo ha instrumentalizado la cultura española la negritud contribuyendo a la creación del concepto de blancura occidental? 2) ¿Qué dice la representación española del Imperio sobre su blancura? En un esfuerzo por responder a estas preguntas, este estudio se divide en dos partes que se corresponden con la conceptualización y representación de lo que se denominan ‘blancura situacional’ y ‘orientalismo imperial español’. Arguyo que ambos aspectos son el resultado de una excepcionalidad diferencial española basada en prácticas culturales orientalistas de asimilación táctica, por medio de las cuales se subsume la experiencia del negro a los márgenes como una parte de la blancura española. Para probar esta hipótesis, conceptualizo la blancura española con el propósito de explorar las estrategias de asimilación táctica del orientalismo español (hispanismo, arabismo, africanismo, hispanotropicalismo) hacia sus antiguas colonias en Hispanoamérica y África. Además, contrasto los casos de instrumentalización de la negritud como resistencia en la noción de 'contrapunto' racial cubano de José Martí y Fernando Ortiz, y señalo el ‘particularismo’ racial de Joan Maragall y Blas Infante para informar de nociones culturales de la blancura española y su fragmentación. La segunda parte de la tesis, centra el análisis en casos menos estudiados de la representación blancura imperial española en relación con la negritud guineo-ecuatoriana y afro-cubana. El propósito general de esta investigación es, por un lado, explicar cómo la naturaleza situacional de la blancura española está presente a través de momentos fundacionales en diversas formas de orientalismo español; y, por otro lado, informar a los estudios de la blancura desde un ángulo cultural diferente así proveyendo a la disciplina con un puente transnacional hacia elun mejor entendimento de los procesos de formación racial de la blancura, estrategias históricas y formas culturales de dominación estructural. PALABRAS CLAVE: Estudios Poscoloniales, Estudios transnacionales, Estudios de raza; Estudios de blancura; Orientalismo español, Sujeto nacional. Dr. José María Pérez Sánchez Student’s Signature April 25, 2016 Date ABSTRACT OF DISSERTATION SITUATIONAL WHITENESS AND SPANISH EMPIRE IN HISTORY, FILM AND LITERATURE (NINETEENTH AND TWENTIETH CENTURY) This dissertation studies identity formation and race informed by the discipline Whiteness Studies. As such this dissertation conceptualizes Spanish Whiteness historically and analyzes its representation in Spanish narrative in prose and film. This research responds to two questions: 1) How has Spanish culture historically instrumentalized Blackness in order to contribute to the creation of the Western’s conceptualization of Whiteness? 2) What does Spanish representation of Empire say about its Whiteness? In an effort to answer these questions, this study is divided into two parts that correspond to the conceptualization and representation of what are termed ‘Situational Whiteness’ and ‘Imperial Spanish Orientalism.’ I argue that both are the result of a Spanish differential exceptionalism based on Orientalist cultural practices of tactical assimilation, by means of which the Black experience is subsumed on the margins as a part of Spanish Whiteness. To prove this hypothesis, Spanish Whiteness is conceptualized for the purpose of exploring the strategies of tactical assimilation of the Spanish Orientalism (Hispanism, Arabism, Africanism, Hispanotropicalism) towards its former colonies in Latin America and Africa. In addition, the contrasting cases of instrumentalization of Blackness as resistance in José Martí and Fernando Ortiz’s notion of Cuban racial ‘counterpoint’ as well as and the racial ‘particularism’ of Joan Maragall and Blas Infante inform cultural notions of Spanish Whiteness as well as its fragmentation. In the second part of this dissertation, the analysis focuses on understudied cases of the Spanish Imperial Whiteness’s representation in relation to Equatorial Guinean and Afro-Cuban Blackness. The overall propose of this research is on the one hand, to explain how the situational nature of Spanish Whiteness is present throughout foundational moments in diverse forms of Spanish Orientalism; and, on the other hand, to inform Whiteness Studies from a different cultural angle thus providing the discipline with a transnational bridge towards a better understanding of white processes of racial formation, historical strategies and cultural forms of structural domination. KEYWORDS: Postcolonial Studies, Transnational Studies, Race Studies; Whiteness Studies, Spanish Orientalism, National Identity.

This paper shifts attention toward the racialization of dominant group space, namely, the creation and maintenance of white places. Using the case study of the software workplace, I argue that white places are formed through a process of whitewashing, which simultaneously denies race and superimposes white culture. Whitewashing wields language and invisibility to deny race and promote a particular kind of multiculturalism, while cloaking the workplace in a culture of informality and business politics.

OLGUÍN Instituto de Artes, Universidad Autónoma del Estado de Hidalgo Introducción La religiosidad en el valle del Mezquital se caracteriza por la devoción a Cristo, venerado en varias advocaciones. Una de éstas es la del Señor del Buen Viaje, ve ne- ra do en Orizabita, asentamiento otomí ubicado al norte de Ixmiquilpan, cuyo culto se gestó, según papeles históricos, durante el siglo XVII y aparentemente se expandió por una ruta de intercambio entre la costa del Golfo y la parte norte del valle del Mezquital.1 El Señor del Buen Viaje tiene su capilla en Orizabita, pues es el santo pa- trono del pueblo. Dentro de la construcción se puede apreciar en el altar un Cristo de unos 75 cm de alto (con todo y cruz), hecho de yeso. Esta imagen se encuentra a la derecha de otro Cristo que ocupa el lugar central, es de mayor tamaño y parece estar hecho de pulpa de caña de maíz, ataviado con cabello humano natural y con un paño de caderas bordado a la usanza contemporánea otomí. Al lado izquierdo de éste se encuentra otro más, de menor tamaño que también parece haber sido hecho de pulpa de caña de maíz. Quien suscribe piensa que las dos últimas imágenes datan del siglo XVIII.

  • 82 PAKEHA IDENTITY and WHITENESS: What Does It Mean to Be White? Claire Gray, Nabila Jaber & Jim Anglem Introduction Whitene
    sites: new series · vol 10 no 2 · 2013 DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.11157/sites-vol10iss2id223 – article – PAKEHA IDENTITY AND WHITENESS: What does it mean to be White? Claire Gray, Nabila Jaber & Jim Anglem abstract This article is concerned with a critical examination of whiteness among those who self identify as Pakeha within a New Zealand context. Through in-depth interviews with 15 men and women we explored the proposition that the adop- tion of a Pakeha identity may preclude an understanding of the ways that whiteness and privilege operate. Employing thematic and discourse analysis, four major themes were identified within the data; a Pakeha relationship with Maori, the reification of whiteness, a disengagement from privilege and a sepa- ration from other white people. The functionality and organisation of language were considered in order to examine participants’ detachment from dominant white culture. This article suggests that the assumption of a Pakeha self-iden- tity may allow the bearer to discursively obscure both the cultural capital that whiteness provides and the privileges afforded by this capital. Ultimately, this research draws attention to the intersection of privilege and whiteness within New Zealand and offers an explanation for the persistence of white hegemony. introduction Whiteness emerged as a field of study during the 1990s largely in the United States and to a lesser extent in Britain and Australia. In one of the most influen- tial pieces of scholarship on the subject, Peggy McIntosh (1988) examined the advantages available to her on account of her whiteness outlining 46 assets she believed she had accrued solely on this basis.

    The Politics of Loving Blackness in the UK By Lisa Amanda Palmer A thesis submitted to The University of Birmingham For the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of American and Canadian Studies The University of Birmingham March 2010 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

Abstract Can ‘loving blackness’ become a new discourse for anti-racism in the UK and the broader black diaspora? This thesis will critically assess the concept of ‘loving blackness as political resistance’ as outlined by the African American feminist bell hooks (1992). The thesis will show the ways in which blackness has been both negated and denigrated in western cultures and thus constructed in opposition to notions of love and humanness. Conversely, love and blackness are also rehabilitated in different ways by Black diasporic populations in Britain through the transnational space. The transnational space can provide opportunities for constructing, networks of care, love and anti racist strategies that affirm the value of blackness and Black life. However, the transnational space can also be fraught with risks, dangers and exclusions providing Black and migrant populations with uneven forms of citizenship and belonging to western neo-liberal states.

  • Leopoldo Alas
    Leopoldo Alas Pipá 2003 - Reservados todos los derechos Permitido el uso sin fines comerciales Leopoldo Alas Pipá - I - Ya nadie se acuerda de él. Y sin embargo, tuvo un papel importante en la comedia humana, aunque sólo vivió doce años sobre el haz de la tierra. A los doce años muchos hombres han sido causa de horribles guerras intestinas, y son ungidos del Señor, y revelan en sus niñerías, al decir de las crónicas, las grandezas y hazañas de que serán autores en la mayor edad. Pipá, a no ser por mí, no tendría historiador; ni por él se armaron guerras, ni fue ungido sino de la desgracia. Con sus harapos a cuestas, con sus vicios precoces sobre el alma, y con su natural ingenio por toda gracia, amén de un poco de bondad innata que tenía muy adentro, fue Pipá un gran problema que nadie resolvió, porque pasó de esta vida sin que filósofo alguno de mayor cuantía posara sobre él los ojos. Tuvo fama; la sociedad le temió y se armó contra él de su vindicta en forma de puntapié, suministrado por grosero polizonte o evangélico presbítero o zafio sacristán. Terror de beatas, escándalo de la policía, prevaricador perpetuo de los bandos y maneras convencionales, tuvo, con todo, razón sobre todos sus enemigos, y fue inconsciente apóstol de las ideas más puras de buen gobierno, siquiera la atmósfera viciada en que respiró la vida malease superficialmente sus instintos generosos. Ello es que una tarde de invierno, precisamente la del domingo de Quincuagésima, Pipá, con las manos en los bolsillos, es decir, en el sitio propio de los bolsillos, de haberlos tenido sus pantalones, pero en fin con las manos dentro de aquellos dos agujeros, contemplaba cómo se pasa la vida y cómo caía la nieve silenciosa y triste sobre el sucio empedrado de la calle de los Extremeños, teatro habitual de las hazañas de Pipá en punto a sus intereses gastronómicos.

    BURUH MIGRASI IMISCOE ­-­ MIGRACIŌN LABORAL State regulation of labour migration is confronted with a double paradox. First, RESEARCH while markets require a policy of open borders to ful l demands for migrant workers, the boundaries of citizenship impose some degree of closure to the outside. Second, BURUH MIGRASI while the exclusivity of citizenship requires closed membership, civil and human rights undermine the state’s capacity to exclude foreigners once they are in the country.

For though their markets are similar, the two countries have di erent approaches to citizenship and rights. We must thus ask: how do such Labour Migration in Malaysia and Spain MIGRACIŌN LABORAL divergences a ect state responses to market demands?
