  • Thinking Gender 2012
    THINKING GENDER 2012 Performative Metaphors: The "Doing" of Image by Women in Mariachi Music. Leticia Isabel Soto Flores In music studies, scholars have often explored music as a metaphor for emotions, thoughts, and life. In the 19th century, music critic Edward Hanslick recognized the inherent metaphorical sense of musical discourse. As he stated in 1891, "what in every other art is still description is in music already metaphor", (Hanslick 1986: 30). When verbalizing what music is, from representation to technique, one cannot avoid using figurative language, metaphors in particular, because a verbal description of sound is, of necessity, an interpretation. In the first case regarding metaphors in music, metaphorical language is used to describe music in relation to musical practice or music theory. These metaphorical descriptions have unavoidably succumbed to the ideological horizons manifested through language. Musicologist Susan McClary refers to this as gendered aspects of traditional music theory in Feminine Endings (1991), a founding text in feminist musicology. She states: "music theorists and analysts quite frequently betray an explicit reliance on metaphors of gender ("masculinity" vs. "femininity") and sexuality in their formulations. The most venerable of these—because it has its roots in traditional poetics—involves the classification of cadence-types or endings according to gender" (McClary 1991: 9). Musicians and music critics utilize the terms “feminine endings” and “masculine endings” to describe how a cadence ends, most without ever realizing that these metaphors perpetuate sexual difference through musical language. In mariachi music, a similar situation has manifested with the increasing participation of women mariachi musicians. As more and more women perform in mariachi ensembles, the songs traditionally in a vocal register for men are necessarily transposed to suit the female voice.

  • Charrería, Nationalism, and Manly Relevance in Modern Mexico
    CHARRERÍA, NATIONALISM, AND MANLY RELEVANCE IN MODERN MEXICO Angélica Castillo Reyna A dissertation submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of History. Chapel Hill 2018 Approved by: John C. Chasteen Kathryn Burns Cynthia M. Radding Miguel La Serna Jocelyn Olcott © 2018 Angélica Castillo Reyna ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Angélica Castillo Reyna: Charrería, Nationalism, and Manly Relevance in Modern Mexico (Under the direction of John C. Chasteen) This dissertation offers two premises. First, there is a deep history of relationships between power, horsemanship, and constructions of masculinity in modern Mexico. Second, because of this history, Mexicans in various eras and situations have depended on rural equestrian costumes, identities, and traditions to influence, interpret, and navigate the world around them. Part 1 of this dissertation consists of three chapters and provides an overview of the development of Mexican equestrian customs and the ways that Mexicans in colonial, independent, and revolutionary Mexico used horsemanship to make their lives meaningful, central, and sustainable. Part II, composed of five chapters, shifts to a discussion of the emergence of the equestrian sport community of organized charrería and the way that organized charros continued the practice of transforming Mexico’s equestrian past into a form of strategic cultural capital. Post-revolutionary organized charros, cognizant of the rich equestrian history they had to draw upon, used the idea of Mexican horsemen’s historic contributions in order to claim relevance in post-revolutionary Mexico as the heirs and latest representatives of that historically-significant equestrian tradition.

  • The Apple of My Pie These Destinations Highlight That Humble Fruit of Fall
    Happy Thursday ... and welcome to this week’s note of non-virus-related positivity. We’re now more than halfway through August and as Sara mentioned last week, fall is just around the corner. I may have been a winter baby, but fall is my favorite season. Spiced lattes, crisp fall air, colorful leaves and lots of pumpkins … fall is full of fun. Though the season will look different this year, my husband and I are looking forward to creating memories and traditions with our daughter as she experiences her first fall and Halloween. Apple picking has become an annual tradition for us and we hope to continue it this year in a safe and healthy way. I happen to be allergic to this fall fruit, but that’s never stopped me from enjoying a good homemade apple pie! Some of our destinations have apple stories worthy of sharing with you, plus we checked in with some former clients and other industry pals to curate a list aimed at entertaining and inspiring you. We hope this gets you into the spirit of fall and causes you to start thinking about all the ways you can still enjoy the upcoming season – whether it’s in an orchard or in the comfort of your own home. For those with kiddos at home, there’s something special for you at the end of this note. If you enjoy it, let us know and we’ll be happy to include something similar in some of our upcoming weekly messages. -Mallory The Apple of My Pie These Destinations Highlight That Humble Fruit of Fall August 20, 2020 – People will be enjoying autumn in varying capacities this year, but one thing is certain: apples will always be a fan favorite for fall (behind pumpkins, of course!).

  • Charrería: the Artisanship of Mexican Equestrian Culture
    Arte en la Charrería: The Artisanship of Mexican Equestrian Culture Educational Program by International Arts & Artists Table of Contents: I. What is Charrería? II. Events of the Charreada III. The origins of the Charreada IV. About the Exhibition V. Discussion Topics VI. Resource List VII. Glossary I. What is Charrería? Charrería is a Mexican cultural tradition that stems from the Spanish-inspired charreada. The charreada is a festive event that is similar to an American rodeo in its variety of competitive equestrian activities. Like the American “rodeo culture,” Charrería extends beyond horses and riders to include aspects such as costume, music, and food that bring a uniquely Latino culture to a sport that has its roots in Spain. The charreada began in Mexico in the 16th century when horses were introduced by the Spanish. As the Spanish tried to develop Central America for their own economic gain, they created an entire culture centered around agriculture and ranching in the haciendas they constructed. This is the culture that is reflected in Charrería. Although the main event is foreign-inspired, the culture reflected in the clothing, saddles, belts, hats, and spurs is largely inspired by traditional indigenous art. The Charrería has endured over five centuries because of the strength of the skills, sensibilities, and traditions that transcend regional and generational differences. Fearing the eventual loss of the Charrería culture, a group of charros, or the “cowboys,” who participate in the charreadas, united and formed various associations to preserve and promote this national culture. The Federación Mexicana de Charrería was founded in Mexico City in 1933 to govern the different charros associations that emerged.
