  • La Frontera- the US Border Reflected in the Cinematic Lens David R
    1 La Frontera- The U.S. Border Reflected in the Cinematic Lens David R. Maciel1 Introduction The U.S.-Mexico border/la frontera has the distinction of being the only place in the world where a highly developed country and a developing one meet and interact.2 This is an area of historical conflict, convergence, conflict, dependency, and interdependency, all types of transboundary links, as well as a society of astounding complexity and an evolving and extraordinarily rich culture. Distinct border styles of music, literature, art, media, and certainly visual practices have flourished in the region. Several of the most important cultural and artistic-oriented institutions, such as universities, research institutes, community centers, and museums are found in the border states of both countries. Beginning in the late 19th century and all the way to the present certain journalists, writers and visual artists have presented a distorted vision of the U.S. - Mexican border. The borderlands have been portrayed mostly as a lawless, rugged, and perilous area populated by settlers who sought a new life in the last frontier, but also criminals and crime fighters whose deeds became legendary. As Gordon W. Allport stated: 1 Emeritus Professor, University of New Mexico. Currently is Adjunct Professor at the Centro de Investigación y Docencia Económicas (CIDE) in Mexico City. 2 Paul Ganster and Alan Sweedler.

A cultural audit is a method of gaining a deeper understanding of priority audiences by understanding the pop culture narratives they consume. The project has two overarching goals. The first is to provide evidence-based insights to the foundation’s Voices for Economic Opportunity grantee cohort, a group of organizations who are designing new narratives of poverty to correct misconceptions and address systemic barriers to mobility. The second is to establish a baseline of existing narratives for longitudinal tracking by Harmony Labs, another foundation grantee. The formative research summarized in this report examines how poverty and wealth are constructed in the pop culture narratives in which media consumers are immersed — specifically scripted TV and film, popular music, and top-selling video games.1 In later stages, the Lear Center will expand this analysis to TV news and unscripted content.

  • 2020 Latin American and Latinx Studies Symposium Panels Panel
    1 2020 Latin American and Latinx Studies Symposium Panels Panel: Environment and Culture in Latin America ° Religión y Naturaleza: la Creación del ambiente en la película La Luz Silenciosa, Mariana Gutierrez Suarez, Southwestern University** La creación audiovisual del ambiente y el desarrollo de la historia se manifiestan en la utilización de dos componentes importantes: la naturaleza y la religión. La religión forma la parte social de los personajes mientras que la naturaleza expresa sus emociones individuales. A través del paisaje natural que cambia con las estaciones del año al igual que cambian los protagonistas, los preceptos de la religión, en cambio, se manifiestan rígidos y difíciles de concordar con las acciones humanas. Este contraste nos muestra la importancia de reconocer la organicidad de la naturaleza con el hombre, y de seguir las leyes de conducta y convivencia en nuestros conflictos con nosotros mismos y con los demás, y las maneras de solucionarlos. ° A Threat to Brazilian Biodiversity and Climate Change: The Soy Industry, Beatriz Olivieri, Rollins College My presentation discusses the current environmental dilemma Brazil is facing. The desire to pursue significant economic development leads the Brazilian government to make poor decisions regarding the environment. The ongoing deforestation in Brazil related to the growth of soybeans is responsible for affecting important and unique native biomes along with causing the displacement of indigenous people -who are important actors in the protection of the environment-. In the last two decades, the soy expansion in Brazil was equivalent to an area five times the size of Switzerland. With the ArcGIS mapping tool, I was able to show the conflict between land being used for soy production that initially belonged to indigenous groups.

Valenzuela, Arizona State University In relation to Chicano cinema, film director Lourdes Portillo has broken with traditional works filmed mostly by men and has developed instead a new female perspective—one that is internationalist and questions male hegemony. In the near past, traditional cinema never gave Chicanas the roles they deserved. This was in part because Chicano filmmakers pro - duced works that centered on the 1960s Chicano Power Movement. These Chicano male films used “forms of cultural production resolutely connected to the social and political activism of the Chicano Movement.
