  • Chespirito" Surge De La Imaginación Del Director De Cine Sr
    El pasado 28 de noviembre de 2014 diferentes agencias de noticias de Latinoamérica y el mundo daban la noticia del fallecimiento del Sr. Roberto Gómez Bolaños a la edad de 85 años. La novedad llegaba a los oídos de millones de personas en todo el mundo causando un profundo dolor y tristeza. Actor, comediante, dramaturgo, escritor, guionista, compositor, director y productor de televisión, Gómez Bolaños fue muy bueno en todo lo que hizo. Su carrera fue iniciada como creador de publicidad en la década de los años cincuenta y fue esto que lo motivó a adentrarse en el mundo de la radio y la televisión. Fue un destacado guionista de películas y programas de la televisión mexicana. Su nombre profesional "Chespirito" surge de la imaginación del director de cine Sr. Agustín P. Delgado quien lo asemejaba con Shakespeare al escribir sus historias, además de la utilización de nombre de personajes con el sonido "Ch" y también su estatura, de ahí el diminutivo. A finales de la década de los sesenta la televisión Independiente de México le da la oportunidad de crear su propio programa, pues dos años antes había comenzado a escribir el guión de los programas de mayor audiencia de la televisora. Esta oportunidad hizo posible el comienzo de su carrera como actor. Chapulín Colorado y El Chavo fueron los dos personajes que marcaron su vida. En declaraciones a la prensa, Chespirito contaba haber conocido un limpiabotas al que después de haberle dado buena propina, salió corriendo a comprar una torta y en su prisa dejo un cuaderno desgastado que contenía en esencia lo que era su diario, éste fue el texto que dio inspiración a la creación de la serie televisiva más popular de todo México "El Chavo del 8".

  • Aguasaco, Carlos. ¡No Contaban Con Mi Astucia! México: Parodia Y Sujeto En La Serie De El Chapulín Colorado
    Aguasaco, Carlos. ¡No contaban con mi astucia! México: Parodia y sujeto en la serie de El Chapulín Colorado. México D.F.: Universidad Autónoma de Nuevo León, 2014. Print. 257 pp. ___________________________________________________ JOHN SINCLAIR UNIVERSITY OF MELBOURNE El Chapulín Colorado (The Red Grasshopper) was a long-running and internationally popular television series from Mexico in the 1970s. The lead character was played by the late Roberto Gómez Bolaños, otherwise known as Chespirito, who also wrote and directed the series. With his world-weary face, home-made costume, and hopeless incompetence, performing on over lit, stagey sets (albeit with occasional special effects), the eponymous anti-hero El Chapulín Colorado (hereafter CH, the logo on the character’s chest) was an extravagantly obvious parody of the super- hero genre, played out in a “Third World” setting. Symptomatic is the catch phrase that gives this book its title, “No contaban con mi astucia” (They didn’t count on my slyness) cried every time he avoids disaster or overcomes his enemies, which is only ever by bumbling luck rather than design. All this would be familiar to the very many Latin Americans, U.S. Latinos, and even Spanish who have seen El Chapulín Colorado on television in their countries over the last few decades. For anyone else, the author provides all the necessary contextual background, and more, including an account of how Gómez Bolaños came to develop the character, though not before he has laid out an elaborate theoretical infrastructure for the subsequent analysis. In what he calls Latin America’s “Jurassic Park of ideologies” (28), Aguasaco takes up an Althusserian approach, as inflected by writers such as Ernesto Laclau, but more markedly, by Juan Carlos Rodríguez, a sometime collaborator of Louis Althusser.

Contributing factors to the public reaction to immigrants in general and Latinos specifically include the sheer size of recent immigration, the increasing prevalence of Latinos in the work force, and the geographic concentration of Latinos in certain areas of the country. Based on a conference held at the Julian Samora Institute(Michigan) in April 1995, this book is organized around two main themes. The first discusses patterns of immigration and describes several immigrant communities in the United States; the second looks in depth at immigration issues, including economic impacts, employment, and provision of education and other services to immigrants.

  • Chavo Del Ocho
    Chavo del Ocho: Sitcom neighborhood dynamics in Mexican television El Chavo del Ocho: la dinámica de la vecindad en la comedia de situación televisiva DAVID GONZÁLEZ HERNÁNDEZ1 DOI: https://doi.org/10.32870/cys.v2019i0.7084 https://orcid.org/0000-0003-3041-8750 This essay analyzes El Chavo del Ocho´s successful series (1971-1980). My argument is that this sitcom founded its television format on one of the most important social spaces in Mexico and Latin America: “La vecindad” or the neighborhood. Moreover, I analyze how the neighborhood dynamics contribute to represent a communal identity: each character portrays not only its specific version, but also of the collective, the conflicts, but above all, the solidarity of Mexico’s in 1970s. KEYWORDS: Television fiction, sitcom,Chavo del Ocho. Este ensayo analiza la exitosa serie El Chavo del Ocho (1971-1980). Argumento que el programa, como comedia de situación, arraigó su formato televisivo en una matriz importante en México y América Latina: la vecindad. De manera concreta, analizo cómo las dinámicas de la vecindad contribuyen a una representación de la identidad comunal: cada personaje manifiesta no solo su versión específica, sino que también representan una versión de lo colectivo, lo conflictivo, pero sobre todo, lo solidario del México de los años setenta.

Living space and its representations are a key issue in Mexico’s political imaginary, even as it also paradoxically has remained invisible in explicit private and public representations of Mexican history after the event, namely traditional historiography, while preserving its urgency in other media, such as television and film. During this period the demographic concentration in the Valley of Mexico, that had already entered the stage when it was irreversibly jeopardizing the natural and economic balances of the region, undergoes a major crisis due to the earthquakes of September 19 and 20 1985. Even though the government manages to survive the problem and even win the presidential elections in 1988 and 1994, the economic pressures, the lack of credibility and the new social structure of the country crystallized against the seventy-one-year-long regime won by the PRI (Partido Revolucionario Institucional: Party of the Institutional Revolution) in a landslide won by the PAN (Partido Acción Nacional: National Action Party) in 2000.

VARI m SMITHSONIAN CONTRIBUTIONS TO ZOOLOGY • NUMBER 529 SERIES PUBLICATIONS OF THE SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION Emphasis upon publication as a means of "diffusing knowledge" was expressed by the first Secretary of the Smithsonian. In his formal plan for the Institution, Joseph Henry outlined a program that included the following statement: "It is proposed to publish a series of reports, giving an account of the new discoveries in science, and of the changes made from year to year in all branches of knowledge." This theme of basic research has been adhered to through the years by thousands of titles issued in series publications under the Smithsonian imprint, commencing with Smithsonian Contributions to Knowledge in 1848 and continuing with the following active series: Smithsonian Contributions to Anthropology Smithsonian Contributions to Astrophysics Smithsonian Contributions to Botany Smithsonian Contributions to the Earth Sciences Smithsonian Contributions to the Marine Sciences Smithsonian Contributions to Paleobiology Smithsonian Contributions to Zoology Smithsonian Folklife Studies Smithsonian Studies in Air and Space Smithsonian Studies in History and Technology In these series, the Institution publishes small papers and full-scale monographs that report the research and collections of its various museums and bureaux or of professional colleagues in the world of science and scholarship. The publications are distributed by mailing lists to libraries, universities, and similar institutions throughout the world. Papers or monographs submitted for series publication are received by the Smithsonian Institution Press, subject to its own review for format and style, only through departments of the various Smithsonian museums or bureaux, where the manuscripts are given substantive review.
