We are proud to present Wsome of the best works by students of all levels here at ELAC. These great works come from a variety of sources, including our Creative Writing classes, which are offered every semester. (Some of the students thank their teacher, in the contributors’ notes, at the end of this journal.) Sometimes, individual students are inspired to write a poem, a story, a dream, or they may take ideas from a journal or diary entry. Similarly, art students who are represented here produce great works in their classes, and some have been inspired to go further on their own. Remember that many famous writers and artists did not receive acceptance on their first tries at submission. If that happened to you, don’t be discouraged. Keep writing, drawing, painting, and keep submitting to literary journals like Milestone. For next year’s issue, we are setting up a Dropbox account, to make the submission process easier. You will need to have all your contact information on each piece you submit, or it will be disqualified. That information consists of: your name, your email, your address, your phone number. See upcoming flyers for details of when and how to submit your work. Special thanks to Joshua Castro for his efforts to help us archive past issues of Milestone, and to get us on Figment and other new media. Keep writing! — Joan Goldsmith Gurfield, Dolores Carlos, and Alexis Solis with help from the creative writing and editing a literary journal classes taught by Susn Suntree and Alexis Solis Milestone2013.indd 5 11/8/13 8:50 AM 6 EAST LOS ANGELES COLLEGE Las Mujeresn by Jasmin Acosta T HAS KILLED THE MEN. We all thought we were safe Ibut the worst happened. Our little pueblo was struck by a famine that killed all the livestock. It had no choice but to feast on us. No one thought this to be possible, after all, the myths and legends explained as much. But then again, no one had seen it this close before. You too might have heard of it. It’s known throughout the lands but it never attacked the people. It only attacked the goats and other livestock. Until now. The Chupacabra wasn’t attacking out of sport but for survival. Maybe if we would have been prepared the outcome would have been different. But who can prepare for such a thing? The men did their best, but without organization it was useless. We women are left. Widows with children. We’ll do anything to protect our hijos and hijas from the Chupacabra. I will never forget that frightening night. The night my husband was taken from me. We had just finished eating the little food we had left and were sitting around a small fire. My husband, Manuel, had just added a chimney to our aldea, a commodity in our pueblo. I was knitting on a rocking chair Manuel had made for me, while he was carving away at a piece of wood with his favorite rusty knife. Manuel was good with his hands; in fact, he had built not only our aldea but all the pieces of furniture that adorned it. He wasn’t a handsome man, but he was a hard worker and had always treated me with respect. While I sat there, I remember looking at him and thinking back to when he asked my padre for my hand in marriage. I had many suitors back then, all of whom were handsome and made more money than poor, average, Manuel. None had won my heart like him, though. The others would bring me flowers and expensive things. They would brag on and on about their horses, their guns, and the putasos they gave Jose at the local cantina. All that machismo gave me a headache. Manuel, on the other hand, had little money. He would carve beautiful wooden horses for me. When we were Milestone2013.indd 6 11/8/13 8:50 AM milestone: 2013 7 alone together, he would ask about my day and actually enjoyed just listening to me talk. While the others only cared for my looks, Manuel was the only one who wanted to get to know me. My father was a powerful man and wanted the best for me. When Manuel came to my father he stared at Manuel for a long while. I can only imagine what was going through his mind. My father finally spoke, “Many men have come asking for my daughter. They have offered me gold, stallions, and many beautiful things. What can you, a man who works with his hands to survive, offer me?” Manuel stood there, confused. He finally spoke, “I’m sorry, Don Juan, but I think you misunderstood me. I’m not here to offer you anything, sir. I am here because I love your daughter. I might not have much, but I will dedicate my life to making your daughter happy.” My father was never a sentimental fool. That was what women were for. He had grown up with men of privilege and knew their behavior well. He often regretted the way he treated my mother and didn’t want that for his daughter. Even though Manuel was considered to be below our station my father was impressed by him. He knew that his offer was something no other man could give me. Against our family’s wishes, he gave Manuel his blessing. What followed were the happiest years of my life. As I sat there reminiscing, I couldn’t believe how lucky I was. I might have left a life of privilege, but I found an even better one. A life filled with love. I then looked towards the fire where my little gift from heaven, Carlitos, sat with a poker in hand. He was mesmerized by the flames. Everything was eerily calm, when suddenly a loud bang was heard. All three of us sat there looking at each other. More shots were fired. By then, we were all standing up. Manuel headed towards the small window by the kitchen and looked out. It was too dark to see anything but the small flashes of gunfire. They seemed to be coming from the edge of the pueblo. “What is going on?” I asked, trying to hide the fear in my voice for Carlitos’s sake. Manuel finally turned towards me. His light brown eyes eased Milestone2013.indd 7 11/8/13 8:50 AM 8 EAST LOS ANGELES COLLEGE some of my fears. “I’m not sure.” Just then, the shooting stopped and a blood curling scream filled the night. We could now hear men running out into the night. Frantic shooting followed. Manuel grabbed the rifle hanging on the wall and turned towards me. “Take Carlitos and go down the crawl space under the bedroom. Don’t come out until I tell you to.” I nodded, not able to speak. He saw the fear in our eyes. He kissed Carlitos on the forehead and me on the lips. “Don’t worry. Everything’s going to be okay.” He had so much confidence and love in his eyes that I couldn’t help but believe him.

  • Course Outline and Syllabus the Fab Four and the Stones: How America Surrendered to the Advance Guard of the British Invasion
    Course Outline and Syllabus The Fab Four and the Stones: How America surrendered to the advance guard of the British Invasion. This six-week course takes a closer look at the music that inspired these bands, their roots-based influences, and their output of inspired work that was created in the 1960’s. Topics include: The early days, 1960-62: London, Liverpool and Hamburg: Importing rhythm and blues and rockabilly from the States…real rock and roll bands—what a concept! Watch out, world! The heady days of 1963: Don’t look now, but these guys just might be more than great cover bands…and they are becoming very popular…Beatlemania takes off. We can write songs; 1964: the rock and roll band as a creative force. John and Paul, their yin and yang-like personal and musical differences fueling their creative tension, discover that two heads are better than one. The Stones, meanwhile, keep cranking out covers, and plot their conquest of America, one riff at a time. The middle periods, 1965-66: For the boys from Liverpool, waves of brilliant albums that will last forever—every cut a memorable, sing-along winner. While for the Londoners, an artistic breakthrough with their first all--original record. Mick and Keith’s tempestuous relationship pushes away band founder Brian Jones; the Stones are established as a force in the music world. Prisoners of their own success, 1967-68: How their popularity drove them to great heights—and lowered them to awful depths. It’s a long way from three chords and a cloud of dust.

  • Lozano Jorge 2018 Phd.Pdf (2.277Mb)
    The Importance of the Non-Important -re-orientations. Jorge Lozano A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY GRADUATE PROGRAM IN VISUAL ARTS YORK UNIVERSITY TORONTO, ONTARIO September 2018 © Jorge Lozano, 2018 !II Abstract This text is a multi-layered exploration of three central issues regarding the production of my artistic works. The combination of chance, non-conscious cognition combined with biological, social, and political constraints generate strategies that produce new conceptual readings and reframe modes of existence. Secondly, the mediation of these entanglements through instrumentality complements the ways in which artistic awareness is grounded in multiple body states, that seek the formation of new ways of feeling, seeing, thinking, and re-representing. And border thinking, understood as the superposition of multiple fully complex modes of existence and not in betweens. These intricate clusters of relations provoke nonconventional ways to resist material and conceptual hierarchies that in turn spark the creation of experimental artistic works that reflect multiple positioning in the search for authenticity or autonomy. !III Acknowledgements Foremost, I would like to express my deepest appreciation to my advisor, Nell Tenhaaf, whose insightful comments were crucial to reorganize my thoughts and to turn inside out concepts that appeared clear to me but needed to be cracked open using different reasonings. My deepest appreciation to my committee, Rebecca Garrett and Marc Couroux for their perceptive interrogations of the relation of theory and practice. This paper is dedicated to Alexandra Gelis, my partner and guide in many of my video works, and to my granddaughter Aluna whose Ojibway ancestry has brought Indigenous culture closer to my heart and mind and has re-awakened the need to continue struggling for true emancipation using new and creative cultural and political strategies.
