TRAS LAS HUELLAS DE LA LLORONA BLANCA EN J-OK’EL _____________________________________ MARÍA TERESA GARZÓN MARTÍNEZ Universidad de Ciencias y Artes de Chiapas, Centro de Estudios Superiores de México y Centroamérica Resumen: El presente artículo analiza la película J-Ok´el (2007) bajo la lente de la blanquitud. Dicha coproducción mexicanoestadounidense recrea la historia de la Llorona dándole un giro respecto a su figura, ya no se caracteriza como una mujer indígena o mestiza, sino blanca. De esta manera se abona al análisis de la blanquitud a través de la reflexión sobre las condiciones históricas, sociales y ficcionales, geopolíticamente situadas en el sureste mexicano –Chiapas, en específico, San Cristóbal de Las Casas– que permiten la aparición de un fantasma que no reta el orden colonial establecido y sus relatos hegemónicos, sino que, al contrario, más bien los consolida.

University of Colorado Boulder, 2021 A thesis submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of the University of Colorado in partial fulfillment of the requirement for the degree of Master of Fine Arts Department of Art & Art History 2021 i This thesis entitled: Heritage Festival: Carnival of Culture written by Samantha Bares has been approved for the Department of Art and Art History Date__________________ ________________________________ (Melanie Yazzie) ________________________________ (Matt Christie) ________________________________ (Hanna Rose Shell) 1 ABSTRACT Bares, Samantha (M.F.A. Department of Art and Art History) Heritage Festival: Carnival of Culture, Thesis directed by Professor Melanie Yazzie Within my thesis, I sought to expand an environment established within my previous work in order to explore my own identity and culture. The work I have created for this thesis is a series of eight drawings on paper, each occupying the setting of the annual Nederland Heritage Festival in my hometown of Nederland, Texas. Within the text, I address how the medium of drawing is a tool for me to take control of my anxiety and organize my thoughts. The drawings themselves are presented as vignettes that all take place within the same reality; each one draws upon imagery from my wide array of influences and interests. In this text, I address the characteristics that people attribute to categories like industry, gender, ethnicity, religion, and mental illness in order to gain a better understanding of the constructed culture that I associate with where I grew up. I seek to communicate personal narratives using the language of storytelling.
