To my colleagues who help me laugh my way through, to the “system” that gives me something to laugh against, to my mentors who give me reasons to laugh, to teachers who expanded my lens to laugh, to my students who give me new things to laugh about, to mis amig@s muchilingües que saben reírse entre idiomas, to my aunts/uncles/grandparents who built me up to laugh, to my in-laws who are always good for a laugh, to my cousins who don’t let me not laugh, to my friends with whom I can always share a laugh; to my parents who taught me how to laugh, to my brothers who taught me how to laugh at myself, to my children who are always ready for a laugh and give me deep joy, to my wife, whose laughter is a melody that reverberates and makes my soul sing, and to GOD who created laughter….much truth and love has been exchanged through it all…¡gracias!:^) Acknowledgements ¿Dónde empezar? Tanta gente me ha echado (y me siguen echando) la mano…In every endeavor that I have been blessed to undertake in my life, after the accolades or reprimands fade, beyond the achievement of the laudable or self-focused objective, what remains and is of upmost priority, are the relationships that were forged through this journey of life. As with any endeavor in life, my experience through the course of obtaining this doctorate was rife with struggle and joy, desperation and hope, valleys and hills. What allowed me to press on, in conjunction with the never-ending love que nunca fallará de nuestro Jesucristo, were the incredible people that crossed my path along the way. I am indebted to the sacrifices they made in their own way to share their time and heart with me; for their guidance, friendship, and love I am deeply grateful. I could write an entire book on just how thankful I am that these people are my life and for each of them individually. Ann Ford-thank you for a great reprieve and our talks about plants and old-school Austin life. You were a breath of fresh air! Stephen Flynn, thanks for keepin’ it real, brother! We shared a lot of good convos along the way! Let me know if you want to storm the tower…I’m still down!;^) Jeffrey Grimes, you’re a genius…thanks for all of your aid along the way! You’re from Texas; you can’t help it!;^). Kelly (Queli) Importa…jaja! Un abrazote y bendiciones para tu familia (especialmente La Sirenita). Ricardo, what a solid dude! Gracias por todo y no te pongas bien truki-trux!:^) Alicia Zapata, me salvaste un par de veces y te lo agradezco del alma. Que Dios siempre les guarde a ti y a tu hijo precioso. Gypsy Snow, how cool to get to know you? Much love to you and the fam! Thanks for everything! Janelle Hedstrom, v salt of the Earth meets brilliance…keep on keepin’ on! Jim Maxwell (Big J.R.), your juggling prowess is a metaphor of your keen ability to keep life’s challenges in the air. Blessings to you, my southern friend! For those in the academic race who inspired me in some way: Ramón Martínez (tu humildad como persona y proezas como académico me inspiraron!), Allison Skerrett (always with a smile and brilliant humanizing insight), Beth Maloch (your commitment to truth and growth, coupled with kindness), Noah DeLissovoy (your willingness to consider what is beyond y siempre de buena onda). Louis Harrison (a man who holds the balance of gentleness and strength…fighting the Good fight!), Denisse Dávila (always with a hearty and friendly dose of warmth and academic insight:^), Tracey Flores (a true encourager with big-picture understanding! ) Elizabeth Keating (a kind individual and true considerer of ideas about language!). ¡Paty!

Aprecio tu amistad y lo que compartimos de tu queridísima madre patria. ¡Deseándote lo más chévere en esta vida! Deb, you are a wonderful academic and person. I know you as one who gives the benefit of the doubt and really takes the details/context into consideration. Thanks for taking a chance and reaching out to me…Estoy convencido que Dios me alcanzó a través de ti justo a tiempo para ofrecerme un cambio bastante necesitado. Your advice has been much appreciated, your openness to ideas has been energizing, and your demeanor has always been valued. You create terrific community…no pares nunca! Eres un apoyo tremendo y una amiga nuestra! ¡GRACIAS! C(i)ynthia…¿qué decir? I have told you vi many times and will continue to tell you, you are a Teacher at heart, which transcends any existing schemata that “the academy” (all lower case) will ever be able to offer, acknowledge, or understand. You have been truly selfless as you’ve helped us get through…I might as well have been one of your struggling freshmen in Social Studies. It wouldn’t have mattered, you would have been there to sustain, promote, and encourage. You are brilliant in ways that academia does not even have the tools to measure (nor even the awareness that they don’t have those tools;^). You, however, get it. Thank you for putting the “cool” back in “school”; without it, it’s just sh...!:^). You embody the adage (that the academy would do well to learn), “Nobody cares how much one knows until they know how much one cares.” ¡Bendiciones para ti y el querido Hoppy (Dr. Gómez:^) siempre! Mis colegas, socios, com(p)adres, y familia de BBE. Les agradezco su apoyo y amistad a través de todo. Para l@s que aventuraron antes y que nos dejaron una herencia de primeros (segundos y terceros:^) auxilios a base de lo que aprendieron, redimiendo sus propias luchas y sufrimientos, les doy gracias. Incluyo en este grupo, Blanca Caldas (la académica bacán y de buen corazón:^), Lucía (y la preciosa Analú), Dori Wall (tan linda y generosa), Katy (a.k.a Izzy:^), si no fuera por tu investigación y pursuit tan comprensiva, nunca hubiera yo tenido la oportunidad de haber expreimentado todo esto.

  • Vampires in Transition
    VAMPIRES IN TRANSITION Daniel Berjano Rodríguez Utrecht University and Universidad de Granada GEMMA 2016-2018 Supervisor: Adelina Sánchez Espinosa (UGR) Second supervisor: Gianmaria Colpani (UU) July 2018 VAMPIRES IN TRANSITION ABSTRACT In Vampires in Transition, I develop semiotic analyses of two key films of the Spanish transition: Elisa, vida mia (Carlos Saura, 1977) and Arrebato (Ivan Zulueta, 1980). Building off Gilles Deleuze's semiotics (1986, 1989) and Teresa de Lauretis' film theory (1984, 1987) – both drawing on Charles Sanders Peirce (1930-35/1958), I have designed three inter-connected concepts in relation to the vampire figuration: 'vampire-images', 'camera-vampires', and the 'phoenix'. One one hand, these concepts aim to approach the films under study through decolonial and trans-feminist perspectives. On the other hand, they intend to draw meaningful insights on Hispanic film studies in relation to what Donna Haraway calls “informatics of domination” (1991c). Departing from one of the peripheral meanings of the vampire – a male sexual predator, the vampire has been designed as a perverse figuration of structural violence in cybernetic capitalism which could help us understand the relationship between massive addictive habits of digital machines and western patriarchal agendas, as Wendy Huy Kyong Chun studies (2016). Drawing on Teresa de Luretis (1984) and my own trans-faggot experience, vampire-images are designed to give an account of the processes of simulation that work to erase traces of exploitation. They depart from Gilles Deleuze's time-images of modern cinema (1989), which imply irrational cuts caused by particular relinkages of sound and visual data. In addition, as my analysis of Elisa, vida mia attempts to prove, vampire-images involve icons of women as objectified or subordinated to men.

  • Space, Time, and Bodies: the Dimensions of Difference in Women’S
    SPACE, TIME, AND BODIES: THE DIMENSIONS OF DIFFERENCE IN WOMEN’S CINEMA AND CONTINENTAL PHILOSOPHY By CAROLINE M. GODART A Dissertation submitted to the Graduate School-New Brunswick Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Program in Comparative Literature written under the direction of Elizabeth Grosz and approved by _______________________ _______________________ _______________________ _______________________ New Brunswick, New Jersey October 2014 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Space, Time, and Bodies: The Dimensions of Difference in Women’s Cinema and Continental Philosophy By CAROLINE M. GODART Dissertation Director: Elizabeth Grosz This dissertation examines the question of difference, and especially of sexual difference, in women’s cinema and continental philosophy. I analyze four movies by three of today’s most influential women filmmakers: Jane Campion (The Piano, New Zealand), Claire Denis (Beau Travail and Trouble Every Day, France), and Lucrecia Martel (La niña santa/The Holy Girl, Argentina), as well as philosophical texts by Luce Irigaray, Henri Bergson, Gilles Deleuze, and Friedrich Nietzsche. I argue that these films represent difference not only through characterization, but more essentially by emphasizing one of cinema’s core devices: space (e.g. camerawork), time (narration and editing), and bodies. Through these, the films articulate relations that go beyond hierarchies of power to portray and enact movements toward others who are acknowledged in their singularity. ii Each chapter is devoted to a film, and opens with a close reading of its aesthetics with a focus on space, time, or bodies. My study of the filmic elements is set in a dialogue with analyses of the corresponding concepts in the philosophical texts.

  • The Production of Madrid in Early Franco Spain Adam Lee Winkel
    Zones of Influence: The Production of Madrid in Early Franco Spain Adam Lee Winkel Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2014 © 2014 Adam Lee Winkel All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT Zones of Influence: The Production of Madrid in Early Franco Spain Adam Lee Winkel Within Spanish cultural studies, urban studies have become increasingly popular in the last twenty years. While this literature covers a wide range of Spanish locales and historical periods, there are still few comprehensive analyses of the production of Madrid’s urban space between the Civil War and the economic boom of the 1960s. This dissertation contributes to the field through the examination of the symbolic production and use of Madrid during the first decades of the Franco dictatorship. I argue that the disciplining of Madrid’s urban space was a means of organizing the capital’s citizens into ordered subjects during a time of transition. This process was carried out primarily through the creation of expectations of how the spaces around the urban subject were best lived. My analytical approach is based on case studies and close readings of films, novels, and official documents such as speeches, maps, laws, and urban policies that were produced during the 1940s and 50s. It is an interdisciplinary study of the disciplining of Madrid and its inhabitants. The dissertation is organized spatially; each chapter focuses on a different aspect of Madrid’s urban fabric, which extends outward in a series of concentric circles.

(average of 22) Overseas Adventure Travel ® The Leader in Personalized Small Group Adventures on the Road Less Traveled 1 Dear Traveler, At last, the world is opening up again for curious travel lovers like you and me. And the O.A.T. Iberian Voyage: Lisbon to Barcelona itinerary you’ve expressed interest in will be a wonderful way to resume the discoveries that bring us so much joy. You might soon be enjoying standout moments like these: As a lover of art, Malaga holds a special place in my heart—after all, it is the birthplace of renowned artist Pablo Picasso, a fact that the local people are very proud of. You’ll meet some of them and hear their perspectives on Picasso and his legacy when you share a meal with a local family. Savor the flavors of a home-cooked meal and take this opportunity to connect with Spanish culture on a deeper level as you see the family go about their daily routine. You’ll also see another side of Iberian culture when you visit Tangier, Morocco where we’ll meet the founder of a female empowerment center to learn about the struggles that women face in this male-dominated society. We’ll gain insights into this patriarchal society and hear her perspectives on the progress that has been made, and her hopes for the future. The way we see it, you’ve come a long way to experience the true culture—not some fairytale version of it.
