Religious Freedom As Equality 133 Frederick Mark Gedicks
Routledge Handbook of Law and Religion The field of law and religion studies has undergone a profound transformation over the last 30 years, looking beyond traditional relationships between State and religious communities to include rights of religious liberty and the role of religion in the public space. This handbook features new, specially commissioned papers by a range of eminent scholars that offer a comprehensive overview of the field of law and religion. The book takes on an interdisciplinary approach, drawing from anthropology, sociology, theology and political science in order to explore how laws and court decisions concerning religion contribute to the shape of the public space. Key themes within the book include: • religious symbols in the public space; • religion and security; • freedom of religion and cultural rights; • defamation and hate speech; and • gender, religion and law. This advanced level reference work is essential reading for students, researchers and scholars of law and religion, as well as policy makers in the field. Silvio Ferrari is professor of Law and Religion at the University of Milan. He is Life Honorary President of the International Consortium for Law and Religion Studies and is an Editor-in- Chief of the Oxford Journal of Law and Religion. He received the 2012 Distinguished Service Award from the International Center for Law and Religion Studies. ‘Few areas of contemporary legal scholarship have developed so exponentially in so short a space of time as the interface between law and religion. This outstanding Handbook not only synthesises and systematises that body of scholarship but firmly anchors it within those broader interdisciplinary frameworks which are essential to its understanding. -

Latina Super-Heroines: Hot Tamales in Tights Vs. Women Warriors, Wrestlers and Guerrilla Fighters of La Raza
Latina Super-heroines: Hot Tamales in Tights vs. Women Warriors, Wrestlers and Guerrilla Fighters of La Raza Carolina FERNÁNDEZ RODRÍGUEZ Universidad de Oviedo Departamento de Anglogermánica y Francesa [email protected] ABSTRACT The year 1977 saw the making of the first Latino superhero by a Latino artist. From the 1980s onwards it is also possible to find Latina super-heroines, whose number and complexity has kept increasing ever since. Yet, the representations of spandexed Latinas are still few. For that reason, the goal of this paper is, firstly, to gather a great number of Latina super-heroines and, secondly, to analyze the role that they have played in the history of American literature and art. More specifically, it aims at comparing the spandexed Latinas created by non-Latino/a artists and mainstream comic enterprises with the Latina super-heroines devised by Latino/a artists. The conclusion is that whereas the former tend to conceive heroines within the constraints of the logic of Girl Power, the latter choose to imbue their works with a more daring political content and to align their heroines with the ideologies of Feminism and Post- colonialism. Keywords: Latina super-heroines, Girl Power, feminist empowerment, sexism, racism. 1. LATINO/A SUPERHEROES: A BRIEF HISTORY Comic books appeared in the US in the 1890s, and their mainstream variety enjoyed a golden age between the 1930s and the 1950s. In the 1970s underground comics acquired more and more notoriety; so much so, that in the 1980s and 1990s, under the influence of those alternative comics, Marvel and DC started to create characters with greater psychological complexity and to offer stories where racial, gender, ethnic and sexual concerns were progressively dealt with. -

Inventing the Latino/a Hero: ‘Legality’ and the Representation of Latino/a Heroic Figures in U.S. Film, Television, and Comics Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Jorge Mauricio Espinoza, M.A. Graduate Program in Spanish and Portuguese The Ohio State University 2015 Dissertation Committee: Ignacio Corona, Advisor Frederick Aldama Guisela Latorre Laura Podalsky Copyright by Mauricio Espinoza 2015 Abstract The heroic narratives appearing in U.S. popular culture have been traditionally dominated by Anglo characters, with limited spaces for the representation of ethnic minorities. When they do appear in these narratives, ethnic minorities typically occupy the roles of subservient sidekicks or stereotyped villains—whose main functions, respectively, are to aid the Anglo hero in his pursuits and to serve as cannon fodder in order to highlight his superiority. While few in number, the presence of ethnic minority heroes in popular culture narratives becomes important for examining and understanding the limitations and possibilities of positive portrayals by and about members of historically marginalized communities in the United States. Inventing the Latino/a Hero explores the historical representation of U.S. Latino/a heroic figures and heroism discourses in film, television, and comics. This study concentrates on hero narratives that directly explore, interrogate, or wrestled with the issue of legality, which is central to the construction of Latino/a heroes and their narratives’ relationship with ideology and power relations. In this regard, I contend that Latino/a heroes either challenge the dominant, often oppressive system of U.S. -
