Also, to my four legged creatures, Charlie and Delilah—their persistence in wanting to go on constant walks turned my dark days into possibilities. iii BETWEEN WORLDS: A PERSONAL JOURNEY OF SELF-REFLECTION WHILE ON THE PATH OF CONOCIMIENTO Abstract by Edmundo Martin Aguilar, Ph.D. Washington State University July 2017 Chair: Paula Groves Price The purpose of this research project is to catalyze systemic social change through a documentary film that critically interrogates identity and oppressive experiences through Gloria Anzaldúa’s framework: Path of Conociemiento. In this autoethnographic documentary, I utilize the seven stages of awareness/reflective consciousness within the Path of Conociemiento to ground participants’ experiences into practice. The documentary film serves as a pedagogical instrument to educate, inspire, and inform communities subjugated by systems of oppression created and sustained by white-supremacist capitalist patriarchy ideology; furthermore, also providing readers/viewers, from privileged communities, an opportunity to re-connect with the disenfranchised by bridging our differences. This form of activism will create an opportunity for healing, transformation, and positive social change by building bridges over physical and psychological walls. Within this autohistoria (coined by Anzaldúa: a personal narrative, testimonio, factual accounts, cuento, and poetry that transcends the status quo) the documentary film shares the stories of several people living in the state nepantla. The stories of those living in-between iv cultures, lost and forgotten by the rest of the world, will unselfishly create a humanizing bridge for those living on each side of the normalized us/them binary. As a result, the findings in this research support Gloria Anzaldúa’s framework: Path of Conocimiento and reveal the experiential evidence in the film. The participants’ decolonizing journey brings insight to the major transformations and shifts in perception and belief systems that support and perpetuate systems of oppression. Consequently, through self-reflective dialogue, critique and resistance, this project is designed to dissolve the demarcations that divide us, and in turn create a common culture, while still celebrating our differences. v TABLE OF CONTENTS Page ACKNOWLEDGMENTS ............................................................................................................. iii ABSTRACT ................................................................................................................................... iv CHAPTER CHAPTER ONE: INTRODUCTION ..................................................................................1 Now let us Shift .............................................................................................................3 Systems of Oppression/Intersectionality ........................................................................8 Why I choose Gloria Anzaldúa for this Project .............................................................9 CHAPTER TWO: EAST-NEW BEGINNINGS/WEST-PLACE OF WOMAN ..............12 Research Questions .....................................................................................................19 Theoretical Framework ...............................................................................................21 Methodology ...............................................................................................................35 Role of Researcher ......................................................................................................37 Data Collection Methods ............................................................................................39 Methods.......................................................................................................................40 CHAPTER THREE: NORTH-PLACE OF ELDERS/SOUTH-PLACE OF YOUTH Between Worlds ..........................................................................................................46 The Film ......................................................................................................................46 Film Analysis ..............................................................................................................47 CHAPTER FOUR: CONCLUSION ..................................................................................65 APPENDIX Documentary Script ...........................................................................................................70 vi REFERENCES ..............................................................................................................................84 vii Dedication For those who don’t belong, but are eager to bring people together. viii CHAPTER ONE: INTRODUCTION Almost every element on earth is made from the heart of a star. Living, breathing, and with a pulse, we are particles of stardust. Ultimately, we are descendants from a wondrous, dark, mysterious universe, forced into migration. Fractured from what we once were, only to form again, into a creation so wildly complicated. It is clear, by this understanding, that we are no longer citizens of the universe; we are now citizens of division. We are divided by social demarcations such as, race, gender, nationality, and sexuality. This harmful systemic hierarchy impacts people’s lives in devastating ways creating psychological and physical borders. However, despite having lost our way on this journey, we realize that we are alive and ever so radically interconnected, and in the heart of another star—earth. It is on this planet we recognize our interrelatedness with all that is life. And because of this, it is important that we acknowledge the Four Directions, an Indigenous understanding of the world, because they represent the particular life energies and elements that makes us who we are. According to Lara & Facio (2014), “the East represents ‘New Beginnings’ and the energy of sun or fire. The West represents the ‘Place of Women’ and is associated with water. The North represents the ‘Place of Elders’ and the energy of wind. And the South is the ‘Place of Youth’ and associated with earth” (p. 13). It’s important to note, these four directions structure not only this written dissertation, but are also a main component of the documentary film that accompanies this research project. This paper and film captures the energies and elements from an Indigenous perspective, and illustrates that they are part of this phenomenal planet that represents the female principle of creation, shattering any preconceived notion that women are the downfall of humankind. For example, Eve and the forbidden fruit from the tree of knowledge of good and evil, or La Malinche-- a Nahua woman who aided Spanish Conquistador, Hernán Cortéz, in defeating the Aztec empire 1 (Anzaldúa, 2003), both women shamed, disgraced, and blamed for the demise of civilization. However, if we unpack this dominant historical hegemonic narrative, we come to the understanding that from both a biblical and western patriarchal point of view, it is our matriarchs whom have given us, once again, the opportunity of a new beginning. Meaning, that the deconstruction of the dominant discourse allows for liberating perspectives, in contrast to these myopic ways of knowing; which in turn, challenge an oppressive system designed to benefit the elite few. The film component of this project is a tool that brings these images of dominance and liberation to the forefront for viewers that have been limited in their perspective and gain conocimiento (an awareness of ways). This epistemology is laced with theory and praxis and allows for a more responsible social justice way of seeing the world. Here, Anzaldúa discusses the interconnectedness and interdependence of people to the earth that is larger than labels that are often used in society to oppress and divide. With awe and wonder you look around, recognizing the preciousness of the earth, the sanctity of every human being on the planet, the ultimate unity and interdependence of all beings—somos todos un país. Love swells in your chest and shoots out of your heart chakra, linking you to everyone/everything. You share a category of identity wider than any social position or racial label. This conocimiento motivates you to work actively to see that no harm comes to people, animals, ocean—to take up spiritual activism and the work of healing (Anzaldua, 2003, p. 558). Gloria Anzaldúa (2003) transformed this hyper-consciousness of interconnectedness by conceptualizing seven stages of conocimiento that opens the senses causing internal shifts and external changes. Therefore, the seven

    UndocuLives: Understanding the Information Behavior, Needs, and Networks of UndocuStudents in Higher Education Verónica E. Guajardo A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2018 Reading Committee: Ricardo Gomez, Chair Negin Dahya Megan Ybarra Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Information School © Copyright 2018 Verónica E. Guajardo ii University of Washington Abstract UndocuLives: Understanding the Information Behavior, Needs, and Networks of UndocuStudents in Higher Education Verónica E. Guajardo Chair of Supervisory Committee: Ricardo Gomez Information School Technology use and information consumption appears omnipresent in the lives of many modern U.S. college students, central to everything from social media posting to opening a free email account needed for most basic online transactions. Information regarding college admissions, deadlines, standardized tests scoring and financial aid can be daunting for many students. It is exponentially more so for undocumented students who must consider legal and financial barriers. Like many immigrants, undocumented populations understand access to education is important and can help create opportunities with greater economic potential, especially for undocumented students. For many in the undocumented community, education and a ‘better future’ for themselves and their children, is one of the main reasons for their migration in the first place. Annually, an estimated “65,000 undocumented students graduate from U.S. high schools” (Dream Act: Fact Sheet, 2010). However, only about 5% to 10% enroll in higher education and iii 1% to 3% graduate from college each year (Russell, 2011), with an even smaller number continuing into graduate school. In Washington State, the undocu-movement advanced with the passage of the 2003 historic law that granted eligibility for in-state tuition rates for undocu-students who previously were charged at international student rate, about twice the rate as in-state tuition.

  • Dear Workshoppers, Thank You for Taking the Time to Read and Discuss
    Gerónimo Sarmiento Cruz Chapter I, 5/15 Draft — do not circulate Dear workshoppers, Thank you for taking the time to read and discuss my work. What follows is still a rough draft of the first chapter of my dissertation, provisionally titled Anational Poetics. In brief, ​ ​ by anational I mean an approach to an order of ideas, images, and concepts whose construction and inner logics are independent of the socio-historical ubiquity of the nation. Mainly relying on two concepts, Deleuze and Guattari’s minor literature and James C. Scott’s hidden transcripts, I am elaborating the anational as a hermeneutics allowing us to read against the backdrop of the nation in order to trace and constellate alternative accounts of collectivities as formulated by minority poetries and poetics. The chapter I am workshopping analyzes the work of Gloria Anzaldúa through the lens of the nation form. In relation to the anational, a lot of the work I do in this chapter is still preparatory—I begin to sketch the concept only towards the end of the chapter. I apologize for the length of the document, yet it is important for me that I workshop the entire thing so that I can assess whether the chapter-format is actually working well and conveying what I intend. If you’re pressed for time, you can read the intro and first section only. I would like to receive all feedback you’re willing to provide; yet more specifically I would like to hear your thoughts on the coherence and legibility of the theory employed and on the pertinence and persuasiveness of the structure as prefatory to the anational.

  • Putting Coyolxauhqui Back Together: Queer Nepantleras Rewriting Latinx Memory
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Alex Aleman Villalba for the degree of Master of Arts in Women, Gender and Sexuality Studies presented on June 13, 2016 Title: Putting Coyolxauhqui Back Together: Queer Nepantleras Rewriting Latinx Memory Abstract approved: __________________________________ Qwo-Li Driskill Indigenous and Latinx communities have always used storytelling to pass along ancestral histories and memories, whether it be through the act of speaking, performing or other types of artwork. This thesis examines the ways that queer Latinx artists are retelling the stories that have been mistold to erase, repress and ignore queer indigenous and Latinx individuals. Chapter One focuses on the movement towards a gender non-specific language through the usage of ‘x’ while also introducing Gloria Anzaldúa’s theory of nepantlas as a space navigated by Latinxs to queer and rewrite dominant understandings of being. Chapter Two looks at the poster art of Julio Salgado and Melanie Cervantes to do an aesthetic analysis of the ways that placing art in the public sphere tells stories that remember indigenous and queer histories. Additionally, by looking at the burlesque performance of Xandra Ibarra and the music videos of Persia and Daddie$ Pla$tik this project provides insight to the ways which resistance against repressive polices (such as the issues of gentrification and border violence) are shifting the political landscape in a way that responsibly acknowledges and centers queer indigenous and Latinx bodies. To conclude this thesis, I integrate my own personal storytelling as a way to exercise the types of activism the mentioned artists demonstrate. By engaging with current art activism, policies and historical moments this thesis imagines a future that centers queer and indigenous Latinxs.

  • Re-Imagining United States History Through Contemporary Asian American and Latina/O Literature

Chapel Hill 2015 Approved by: María DeGuzmán Jennifer Ho Minrose Gwin Laura Halperin Ruth Salvaggio © 2015 Susan Bramley Thananopavarn ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Susan Thananopavarn: LatinAsian Nation: Re-imagining United States History through Contemporary Asian American and Latina/o Literature (Under the direction of Jennifer Ho and María DeGuzmán) Asian American and Latina/o populations in the United States are often considered marginal to discourses of United States history and nationhood. From laws like the 1882 Chinese Exclusion Act to the extensive, racially targeted immigration rhetoric of the twenty-first century, dominant discourses in the United States have legally and rhetorically defined Asian and Latina/o Americans as alien to the imagined nation. However, these groups have histories within the United States that stretch back more than four hundred years and complicate foundational narratives like the immigrant “melting pot,” the black/white binary, and American exceptionalism. This project examines how Asian American and Latina/o literary narratives can rewrite official histories and situate American history within a global context. The literary texts that I examine – including works by Carlos Bulosan, Américo Paredes, Luis Valdez, Mitsuye Yamada, Susan Choi, Achy Obejas, Karen Tei Yamashita, Cristina García, and Siu Kam Wen – create a “LatinAsian” view of the Americas that highlights and challenges suppressed aspects of United States history.

  • The New Mestiza and La Nepantlera
    1 The NewMestiza and La Nepantlera Borders—barbed-wire, wooden, sometimes invisible—separating, con- straining, restricting. Seeing, sensing anew. Borderlands—where cultures, ideas, norms, selves are remade, reconfigured, where pain mingles with uncertainty, fear, anxiety, creativity, and new possibilities. The new mestiza lives there. The shadow beast is her strong will, unfreezing her so she can take a stance, so she can change. The new mestiza is the shadow that walks hand in hand with the words on these pages, leading us away from tidy, unified selves. It is good company. In this chapter, I discuss Gloria Anzaldúa’s explorations of selfhood, in particular her account of the new mestiza,1 one of Anzaldúa’s most impor- tant contributions in her celebrated text Borderlands/La Frontera: The New Mestiza, a deeply intersectional text that has been influential in various disciplines, including border studies, literary studies, women’s studies, queer studies, and many others (Anzaldúa 1987).2 Given this text’s tremendous appeal, the force of the ideas in it, and the fact that it has become canoni- cal in some circles, it is important for me to approach it with caution as I wish to remain respectful of Anzaldúa’s words but also to have a reflective, critical edge as I engage with them.3 My first reading ofBorderlands/La Frontera was a powerful experience. Anzaldúa’s words touched me deeply; they moved me in a way that few texts had done before. Her profound awareness of the intersecting, inter- meshed nature of her multiple oppressions and her moving autohistoria, what I would call her lived-theory, pierced me.4 Reading about her struggles in the borderlands struck me intellectually and viscerally, given my own experience as a Latina who felt displaced and who often wondered about the question of home ever since revolution transformed my life, and many other Nicaraguans’ daily lives in the summer of 1979.
