Ladino and Indigenous Pageantry in Neocolonial Guatemala
THE EYE OF THE BEHOLDER: LADINO AND INDIGENOUS PAGEANTRY IN NEOCOLONIAL GUATEMALA by Jillian L. Kite A Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of The Dorothy F. Schmidt College of Arts and Letters In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts Florida Atlantic University Boca Raton, FL August 2014 Copyright by Jillian L. Kite 2014 ii iii ABSTRACT Author: Jillian L. Kite Title: The Eye of the Beholder: Ladino and Indigenous Pageantry in Neocolonial Guatemala Institution: Florida Atlantic University Thesis Co-Advisors: Dr. Josephine Beoku-Betts and Dr. Mark Harvey Degree: Master of Arts Year: 2014 In this thesis I utilize a feminist case study method to explore gender, race, authenticity, and nationalism in the context of globalization. Each year, Guatemala conducts two ethno-racially distinct pageants – one indigenous, the other ladina. The indigenous pageant prides itself on the authentic display of indigenous culture and physiognomies. On the contrary, during the westernized ladina pageant, contestants strive to adhere to western beauty ideals beauty and cultural norms engendered by discourses of whiteness. However, when the winner advances to the Miss World Pageant, they misappropriate elements of Mayan culture to express an authentic national identity in a way that is digestible to an international audience. In the study that follows, I examine the ways in which national and international pageants are reflective of their iv respective levels of social and political conflict and how they serve as mechanisms of manipulation by the elite at the national and global levels. v THE EYE OF THE BEHOLDER: LADINO AND INDIGENOUS PAGEANTRY IN NEOCOLONIAL GUATEMALA I.

Abstract When Netflix launched in April 1998, Internet video was in its infancy. Eighteen years later, Netflix has developed into the first truly global Internet TV network. Many books have been written about the five broadcast networks – NBC, CBS, ABC, Fox, and the CW – and many about the major cable networks – HBO, CNN, MTV, Nickelodeon, just to name a few – and this is the fitting time to undertake a detailed analysis of how Netflix, as the preeminent Internet TV networks, has come to be. This book, then, combines historical, industrial, and textual analysis to investigate, contextualize, and historicize Netflix's development as an Internet TV network. The book is split into four chapters. The first explores the ways in which Netflix's development during its early years a DVD-by-mail company – 1998-2007, a period I am calling "Netflix as Rental Company" – lay the foundations for the company's future iterations and successes. During this period, Netflix adapted DVD distribution to the Internet, revolutionizing the way viewers receive, watch, and choose content, and built a brand reputation on consumer-centric innovation.

MIM Research Seminar 8: 11 April 2013 ‘Euro-Turks’ return: the counter-diasporic migration of German-born Turks to Turkey Russell King* and Nilay Kılınçᶧ * Willy Brandt Guest Professor of Migration Studies, Malmö University 2012-13 ᶧ Intern at MIM, Malmö University, and MA student in European Studies, Lund University Outline of Seminar • Turkish migration to Europe and Germany, and the ‘Euro-Turk’ phenomenon • Theoretical and contextual background: the second generation, counter-diaspora, transnationalism, and return migration • Three main research questions: pre-return, return, and post-return • Research methods and sites: Istanbul and Black Sea coast, 35 participant interviews • Findings: growing up ‘Turkish’ in Germany • Findings: five narratives of return • Findings: post-return experiences, achievements, and disappointments • Conclusion 1 Introducing Turkish migration to Europe • Turkey is the largest single source country for immigration into Europe, mainly to Germany, but also substantial numbers in the Netherlands and Belgium, as well as the UK, France, Austria, Sweden, Denmark and elsewhere • Turkish migration to Germany is the third largest in the world (after Mexico US and Bangladesh India). Estimated ‘stock’ of 2.7 million Turks in Germany, where they are the largest group • Turkish migration to Germany was classic labour migration, managed by bilateral recruitment agreements 1961-64. Following Robin Cohen’s (1997) typology of diasporas, it is a labour diaspora • Labour migration Turkey Germany heavily concentrated in years 1961-73, but with a qualitative change within those years: initially from urban areas of Turkey, people with above-average education and skills; later, lower-educated unskilled workers from rural Turkey 2 Guestworkers, Settlers, ‘Euro-Turks’ • Turks in Germany are classic case of ‘guests who stayed for good’ as the Gastarbeiter soon became (semi-)permanent settled community.

Female Showrunners Dominate Golden Globes' TV Comedy Race
SATURDAY, DECEMBER 13, 2014 Miss World showdown in London in shadow of murder eauty queens from across the globe have descended on London for Sunday’s Miss World 2014 final, a com- Bpetition rocked by the murder of Miss Honduras. Some 121 contestants from Albania to Zimbabwe are tak- ing part in the pageant, but there will be no representative from Honduras following the fatal shooting of finalist Maria Jose Alvarado. The bodies of the 19-year-old national title-holder and her 23-year-old sister Sofia Trinidad were found buried on a remote riverbank near the northwestern city of Santa Barbara on the day Maria Jose was due to fly to London. Tears were shed when the Miss World contestants attend- ed a special remembrance service in London. They held candles and said prayers in their own lan- guages in front of a framed photograph of Alvarado. “We are devastated by this terrible loss of two young women, who were so full of life,” said Miss World chair- woman Julia Morley. The new Miss World will travel to crime- plagued Honduras to build a school in their hometown that will be named in their honour, the contest’s organisers (L-R) Dick Clark Productions’executive producer Barry Adelman, Miss Golden Globe Greer Grammer, actress Kate Beckinsale, announced. Police in Honduras accuse Sofia’s boyfriend of actor Jeremy Piven, actress Paula Patton, actor Peter Krause and Hollywood Foreign Press Association president Theo Kingma shooting the sisters in a fit of jealousy after seeing Sofia attend the 2015 Golden Globe Awards nominations announcement, on Thursday at the Beverly Hilton Hotel, in Beverly Hills, dancing with another man at a party.

Does Race Matter in International Beauty Pageants? a Quantitative Analysis of Miss World B S Z R W , PD U B C 
Does race matter in international beauty pageants? A quantitative analysis of Miss World B S Z R W, PD U B C Abstract: Most research on race and beauty pageants uses qualitative research methods and focuses on national beauty pageants. For this reason it is unclear whether there are broad patterns of racial inequalities in international beauty pageants. My study addresses this issue by using a quantitative approach to examine whether race affects success rates in international beauty pageants. This study examines countries that have competed in the Miss World pageant from 1951 to 2011 and examine each country’s probability of winning and being in the semi- fi nals. The analysis shows that race matters. White countries have a much higher chance of winning and being in the semi-fi nals than non-white nations. Furthermore, white nations have been over-represented as winners and semi-fi nalists while non-white nations have been under-represented in both those categories. The patterns of success for white nations and lack of success for non-white nations demonstrates that beauty is not neutral and that global beauty pageants can be seen as a refl ection of racial hierarchies and a reaffi rmation of the ideology of white beauty. Introduction Studying Race in Beauty Pageants than simple phenotypes, in beauty pageants Browsing through the headshots of the Although race is a socially constructed where the body is visually displayed, physical 2011 contestants on the websites of the Miss concept, the concept of race and racism appearance is a noticeable way of signifying World and the Miss Universe pageants, the persists3, and in order to study racial race.5 Moreover, the general public that view women’s beauty was indisputable.
