I had the privilege of being her student, co-teaching with her, and being her advisee. For the lessons learned in the classroom I am grateful, but those I learned sitting at her kitchen table are the ones I will remember most. It was there that I was challenged as a writer and learned to create my own academic voice. Profesora, thank you for your guidance, patience, and for teaching me how powerful our words can be. I also thank my committee members, Dr. Ilia Rodríguez and Dr. Christina Getrich, for their recommendations and insights. Their questions helped me see familiar scenes through different lenses and their suggestions always inspired me to ask more questions. Having them on my committee made my thesis that more special and meaningful and I will always be thankful for having their expertise available during the research process. I would also like to acknowledge Dr. Julia Johnson, my undergraduate professor at Southwestern University who first suggested I attend graduate school. She has inspired me in ways that extend from inside the academic walls to how I care for others and maintain my relationships. I do not think I would have pursued a graduate career without her mentoring. Her kind words and encouragement will always take me one step further than I believe I can go. And finally to my colleague and dearest friend, Marleah Dean, working with her and sharing ideas, concerns, and triumphs during our graduate studies has made this experience particularly special. I remember meeting her when we first visited Albuquerque in May of 2009 and I would have never imagined that we would have become such close friends. I am most appreciative of the opportunity I had at UNM because I have made a life long friend and I know that friendship was not offered in the graduate “package.” It was a blessing. I would like to thank her for her consistent support, encouragement, and for being a teacher for me as well. v BORDERS, BRIDGES, AND BEER: PERFORMANCES OF CULTURAL IDENTITIES IN THE WASHINGTON BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION by DIANA CAROLINA RAMOS ABSTRACT OF THESIS Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts Communication The University of New Mexico Albuquerque, New Mexico July, 2011 vi BORDERS, BRIDGES, AND BEER: PERFORMANCES OF CULTURAL IDENTITIES IN THE WASHINGTON BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION by Diana Carolina Ramos B.A., Communication Studies and Spanish, Southwestern University, 2009 M.A., Communication, University of New Mexico, 2011 ABSTRACT In this study I describe how individuals living in Laredo, Texas, a city situated in the U.S.-Mexico border region, make sense of their identities through their experiences in the Washington Birthday Celebration (WBC). By focusing on communication as means for creating cultural identities, this study provides insight into how communication is used in the construction and performance of cultural identities. Specifically, I focus on The Society of Martha Washington, one of the several affiliate organizations that participates in the WBC, in order to answer the following research questions about the enactment of cultural identities in the WBC: (1) What cultural identities are enacted at the WBC and how do participants use communication to enact these expressed identities? (2) How do participants enact their cultural identities beyond the WBC? I argue that although the WBC is intended to foster a collective identity, it poses a problematic contradiction since it implicates the enactment of various identities wherein status differentials are enhanced. vii TABLE OF CONTENTS CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION..................................................................................... 1 Rationale ......................................................................................................................... 5 Researcher’s Key Assumptions ...................................................................................... 7 Identity As Socially Constructed ................................................................................ 7 Identity as Performance .............................................................................................. 8 Overview of the WBC Events......................................................................................... 8 The Society of Martha Washington .............................................................................. 10 Research Questions....................................................................................................... 13 CHAPTER 2 REVIEW OF LITERATURE ................................................................ 15 Life On the U.S.-Mexico Border .................................................................................. 15 Cultural Identity............................................................................................................ 18 Identity Performance..................................................................................................... 22 Summary....................................................................................................................... 24 CHAPTER 3 METHODOLOGY.................................................................................. 25 Conceptual Framework and Methodological Perspectives........................................... 26 Selection of Participants ............................................................................................... 26 Interview Instruments ................................................................................................... 28 Participant Observation................................................................................................. 31 Data Collection ............................................................................................................. 33 Data Coding and Analysis ............................................................................................ 34 Validity and Reliability................................................................................................. 35 Summary....................................................................................................................... 36 viii CHAPTER 4 FINDINGS ............................................................................................... 38 Cultural Identities in the Washington Birthday Celebration......................................... 38 I.

The after tax profit of $18.2 million for the period compares with $20.6 million for the prior period. While this is a pleasing result in the circumstances the impact of the global economic downturn is already apparent and, like all other businesses in 2009, TVNZ will face significant constraints due to worsening conditions. We expect the remainder of the fiscal year to be tough, and are prepared for this to continue into the 2010 year. Sir John Anderson Chairman 3 TVNZ Interim Report FY2009 CHIEF EXECUTIVE’S OVERVIEW Two years ago TVNZ began the hard work of turning the organisation into a contemporary, streamlined and efficient digital media company with a long term future – rather than a simple television broadcaster. The result of this effort became visible at the end of the last financial year, when the company worked its way back into the black, with a return on shareholders equity that was better than most SOEs and Crown-owned Companies as well as many publicly listed companies. The current half-year result is a validation of that approach.

  • Elevator Repair Service
    ELEVATOR REPAIR SERVICE ABRONS ARTS CENTER A CONVERSATION BETWEEN JOHN COLLINS AND KATE SCELSA Kate Scelsa: So, John! John Collins: Kate, you’ve worked as a company member with ERS for about sixteen years now…And it turns out that you were doing stealth research for all these years on what would be perfect parts to write for some of our actors. KS: This is going to sound very sentimental, but writing this play has really felt like a love letter to this company. So it’s that, combined with my very deep love for Edward Albee’s play and specifically for the character of Martha. JC: And it’s exciting for me because I’m getting to work with one of my favorite novelists, who wrote one of my favorite books of the past couple of years. KS: Thank you for that plug. JC: It also fits in really nicely with the shows you’ve worked on with us, taking another work of great American literature as a jumping off point. And looking at the parts you’ve played in ERS shows, there have been a lot of Marthas in your life. KS: I’ve always been very interested in whether or not embodying that kind of female rage could be seen as sympathetic. Even powerful. Or if those women just become the shrew. Which means their rage can be dismissed. JC: Well you take Martha, who’s an extreme character… KS: She doesn’t care what anyone thinks of her. But what are the consequences of that attitude? For most of Albee’s play we see Martha as this incredible feminist character, in that she and her husband are on equal footing, and that’s what makes it so fascinating to watch, and fun to play.

Reprinted by JARMAN'S, iNCOIEI'dltATKD from the 1SS7 Edition for THE GREEN BOOKMAN Entered according to Act of Congress, in the year 1887, by WYNDHAM ROBERTSON In the office of the Librarian of Congress, at Washington. PREFACE. I offer to the narrow circle it may interest, as well as I have been able to restore it, the Tree of Pocahontas and Rolf e, as it has grown from them as its root to its seventh season (inclu­ sive) of fruitage. I accompany it with illustrative sketches of some of its notable products, within my reach, in order to relieve the blankness of it, by revealing something of its in­ ward succulence as well as its outward form. I have conden­ sed them as much as in my view consisted with my object, knowing how insignificant the whole matter is amid the great surges of the world it is thrown upon. The notice of Poca­ hontas is exceptionally long for reasons apparent on the face of it, involving, as it does, incidentally, the vindication of Captain Smith against the unfriendly strictures of some mod­ ern critics, and which all lovers of justice will thank me for introducing.
