A Report Prepared for the Cantu Family and for the University of Texas-Pan American, Community Historical Archaeology Project with Schools Program. The University of Texas-Pan American, Edinburg, Texas. iv Dedicated to the Memory of Rojelio Cantú Sr. (1922-2014) 90th Birthday 2012 And v Maria Lopez Cantú (1924-2013) With All of Our Thanks. This document is dedicated to the entire Cantú family who helped make this report a possibility but especially to the two family members who passed on before completion of the final publication. Rojelio Cantú Sr. and Maria Lopez Cantú had both participated in the formal ethnographic interviews conducted by the CHAPS Program students. The patriarch of the family, Rojelio Sr. was 91 years old when he passed on in early 2014. Maria Lopez Cantú was present at the interview conducted with Rojelio Sr. She was Rojelio Sr.’s sister- in-law, Maria was married to Rojelio’s Sr.’s older brother, Felipe Cantú. Maria passed away in the middle of 2013, after the class had completed its preliminary research in the fall semester. Their passing was heartbreaking for the entire family. The CHAPS team feels very lucky to have met them and heard their stories about life here in South Texas. This report could not have been completed without their ready contributions. The CHAPS Program thanks the entire Cantú family for their magnanimity and patience. vi vii Contents ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS ..................................................................................................... xiii DEDICATION ........................................................................................................................... vi FOREWORD ........................................................................................................................... xvi PREFACE .................................................................................................................................. xv CHAPTER 1: The Cantús of Edinburg ............................................................................... 4 CHAPTER 2: The historical background of the Cantú family .................................. 6 CHAPTER 3: The geology of the Cantú farms ............................................................. 28 CHAPTER 4: The biology of the Cantú farms .............................................................. 36 CHAPTER 5: The lifeways of the Cantú family ........................................................... 43 CHAPTER 6: Conclusion ..................................................................................................... 63 LIST OF REFERENCES ......................................................................................................... 64 APPENDIX A: Interviews ................................................................................................... 67 APPENDIX B: Obituary Dedications ........................................................................... 176 APPENDIX C: Land transactions of Jackson property .......................................... 177 viii LIST OF FIGURES Figure 1: Cantú Family Tree…………..………………………………………………...……2 Figure 2: The Cantús of Edinburg. c. 1995...............................................................................4 Figure 3: Carmen Hernandez-Cantú, Rogelio Jr., Marcos Ramirez, Jesus Cantú-Serna. c. 1955.......................................................................................................6 Figure 4: Pictured with their grandchildren, Hermelinda and Rojelio Sr. pose for a photo.

    “My” Hero or Epic Fail? Torchwood as Transnational Telefantasy Melissa Beattie1 Recibido: 2016-09-19 Aprobado por pares: 2017-02-17 Enviado a pares: 2016-09-19 Aceptado: 2017-03-23 DOI: 10.5294/pacla.2017.20.3.7 Para citar este artículo / to reference this article / para citar este artigo Beattie, M. (2017). “My” hero or epic fail? Torchwood as transnational telefantasy. Palabra Clave, 20(3), 722-762. DOI: 10.5294/pacla.2017.20.3.7 Abstract Telefantasy series Torchwood (2006–2011, multiple production partners) was industrially and paratextually positioned as being Welsh, despite its frequent status as an international co-production. When, for series 4 (sub- titled Miracle Day, much as the miniseries produced as series 3 was subti- tled Children of Earth), the production (and diegesis) moved primarily to the United States as a co-production between BBC Worldwide and Amer- ican premium cable broadcaster Starz, fan response was negative from the announcement, with the series being termed Americanised in popular and academic discourse. This study, drawn from my doctoral research, which interrogates all of these assumptions via textual, industrial/contextual and audience analysis focusing upon ideological, aesthetic and interpretations of national identity representation, focuses upon the interactions between fan cultural capital and national cultural capital and how those interactions impact others of the myriad of reasons why the (re)glocalisation failed. It finds that, in part due to the competing public service and commercial ide- ologies of the BBC, Torchwood was a glocalised text from the beginning, de- spite its positioning as Welsh, which then became glocalised again in series 4.

  • 40 for 40 Master.Indd
    40 projects for 40 years Construction for Empowerment Design for Social Change 1973-2013 In 1974, Watergate caused the resignation of Richard Nixon, the fi rst sitting president in US history to do so. Mel Brooks scored two big hits: “Blazing Saddles,” starring Clevon Little as a black sheriff trying to save an all-white town from a band of “rustlers, cutthroats, murderers, bounty hunters, desperadoes, mugs, pugs, thugs, nitwits, half-wits, dimwits, vipers, snipers, con men, Indian agents, Mexican bandits, muggers, bug- gerers, bushwhackers, hornswagglers, horse thieves, bull dykes, train robbers, bank robbers, ass kickers, shit kickers and Methodists,” headed by Harvey Korman as “Hedley Lamar.” December saw the release of “Young Frankenstein,” Brooks’ and Gene Wilder’s affectionate parody of 1930s horror classics. Sporting some fi ne bell-bottoms, Swedish group ABBA burst onto the music scene with “Waterloo” by winning a Euro TV talent contest, while discos played Kool & the Gang’s “Jungle Boogie,” and southern rock band Lynyrd Skynyrd gave the world “Sweet Home Alabama.” The fl edgling AND, now a certifi ed nonprofi t, continues to defi ne com- munity needs, providing technical and space planning services with architecture student volunteers moving, painting and implementing improvements. Though funding is scarce, AND takes on projects in San Francisco Chinatown such as planning and construction supervision for a remodel of Everybody’s Bookstore; and design and building a free- standing photo display system for Asian Community Center. AND mem- bers also participate in community meetings for Chinatown Committee for Better Parks & Recreational Facilities. In SF Japantown, AND produces storefront designs and materials for the Committee Against Nihonmachi Eviction and offers space planning help to Kimochi’s Food Program.
