A So twenty-five years ago. While the twists and turns about the Affordable Care Act (ACA, also known as Obamacare) have roiled federal government, sparked a 16-day government shutdown and sent ripples through the global economy, a mandate issued a quarter of a century ago in Northern Manhattan was recently heralded. For 25 years, the Allen Hospital has occupied its post in the northernmost reaches of the city. The New York State Department of Health had mandated the construction of another hospital in the area after the closure of two local hospitals, Jewish Memorial Hospital and Saint Elizabeth Hospital, formerly at 190th and Fort Washington Avenue. “The community was not being served with the closure of two community hospitals. There was an absence of medical opportunities,” recalled Dr. Joseph Tenenbaum, a cardiologist and Chief of Medical Services at Allen Hospital. The Allen Hospital was constructed in association with NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital (NYP), one of the best hospitals “We’re the country hospital” in America according to US News & World Report’s America’s Best Hospitals survey, The Allen Hospital turns 25 and remains NYP’s only wholly-owned it has sought to foster a family-centered The setting by the water makes for a unique cake this past Mon., Oct. 7th, the anniversary community hospital. environment that encourages family members experience, he said. of the hospital’s opening.

Maize ceremonies are a crucial aspect of maintaining well-being. Families cleanse, cultivate, and harvest the land through the cycle of Our Mother Corn in their efforts of maintaining good health. Families often discuss health and well-being in relation to cultivation practices. During the cultivation of Our Mother Corn, the labor of men and women contributes to the overall reproduction of Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK). In each ceremony, the family learns from Corn their responsibilities during cultivation. Our Mother Corn provides individuals with the vitality to maintain the physical and metaphysical balance of the holistic body.

    PEQUEÑA HISTORIA DE INGLATERRA G. K. CHESTERTON Digitalizado por http://www.librodot.com Librodot Pequeña Historia de Inglaterra G. K. Chesterton 2 PEQUEÑA CLAVE PARA LA PEQUEÑA HISTORIA Además de las notas que acompañan a esta traducción, conviene que el lector no familiarizado con la historia inglesa recorra las siguientes líneas, donde se ha procurado extractar los hechos absolutamente indispensables para la inteligencia de la PEQUEÑA HISTORIA. La provincia de Britana -Redondeando cifras, la romanización de la provincia de Britania abarca del año 50 a. J. C. al 450 de la Era vulgar. Julio César hizo un-tanteo militar en la Britania el año 55 antes de J. C., y al año siguiente volvió. La verdadera conquista romana comenzó en 43 a. J. C., bajo Aulio Plautio. A principio del siglo V, la Britania queda cortada de Roma por una doble causa: 1) La conquista de las Galias por los teutones; las Galias eran el camino entre Inglaterra y Roma; 2) Las invasiones de laxos, anglos e iutos en Inglaterra. El rey británico Vortigern los había llamado para que le ayudaran a contener la furia de los salvajes pictos de Escocia y de los piratas irlandeses; pero los aliados no salieron más de Inglaterra. Entre tanto, Roma ya había dejado allí algunas simientes de cristianismo. La era de las leyendas. La derrota de los bárbaros.-La época del dominio anglosajón va de 450 a 1016. Chesterton subraya los dos grandes hechos espirituales de esta época: 1) La enorme producción legendaria, la efervescencia de la fábula; y 2) La lucha y triunfo final del cristianismo contra las divinidades furiosas de los bárbaros invasores.

Lucha Libre Mexicana, an event based performance using the mask, connects and reconnects to myth, stories, and ritual that societies, in this case the Mexican, need in order to find meaning within daily events and the contradictions and questions that confront every individual. This research analyses the cultural meanings of Lucha Libre Mexicana from the point of view of a diasporic artist and contextualizes knowledge to determine artistic practice. Identity and the construction of identity are explored throughout this thesis. The various aspects of Lucha Libre Mexicana such as the masks, the holds, the wrestlers themselves, and the performative nature of the spectacle, serve as referents to make connections to the artist’s own culture and the idea of constructed Mexicanness.

  • El Santo, Luchador, Ídolo Y Mito
    Configuración literaria y cultural de un héroe enmascarado: El Santo, luchador, ídolo y mito Gerardo Castillo-Carrillo Universidad Iberoamericana-Puebla Resumen: En el presente escrito nos disponemos a revisar las distintas representaciones que desde la ficción literaria se han hecho sobre el máximo representante de la lucha libre mexicana: Santo, el “Enmascarado de Plata”. El tratamiento narrativo que se ha realizado de este luchador es diverso; por una parte, se mitifica la figura del gladiador y héroe cinematográfico; mientras que en otros casos se desacraliza la imagen idílica que culturalmente se ha construido sobre este personaje popular en el imaginario colectivo de la afición. Palabras clave: Lucha libre – El Santo – Mito – Cultura popular – Narrativa mexicana de siglo XX. I. Preliminar esde su surgimiento en el Siglo XIX, la lucha libre (catch o pancracio) siempre ha estado asociada al ámbito circense y escénico; por tal motivo, en cada combate se efectúa una representación llena de gestos, lamentos y gritos. El D propio Roland Barthes, en su libro Mitologías, apunta que en el catch se personifica una verdadera Comedia Humana, en el que se entremezclan las pasiones y el éxtasis dramático. El luchador, al igual que en el teatro, interpreta un personaje que puede fungir como héroe o villano, encarnar el bien o el mal. Asimismo, el cuerpo, el vestuario y los gestos son elementos determinantes para representar el papel que ha decidido adoptar en el ring, estetas y rudos se enfrentarán de manera permanente con el propósito de evitar la humillación pública de la derrota. Quizá Estados Unidos (wrestling), Japón (puroresu) y México sean los países donde la lucha libre tiene más arraigo y tradición, así como una industria económica consolidada en torno a este deporte.

I am grateful to the many professors and fellow students at both Brigham Young University and University of California Riverside for the many seminars, hours of advising, and discussions surrounding literature, philosophy, cultural studies, and life. I want to first thank David Laraway who gave me my introduction to graduate school in our theory seminar. He also helped bring the Chilean science fiction writer Mike Wilson Reginato and the science fiction critic J. Andrew Brown to BYU. The courses and lectures and time I spent with them was invaluable and I wish to thank both of them for helping me discover and learn to appreciate science fiction in new ways. I wish to also thank Dale Pratt for teaching a class on science and literature and for taking me to my first conference as a graduate student to present my ideas on Borges and science fiction. From BYU, I also want to thank David Dalton for introducing me to Mejicanos en el espacio. I’m grateful for the many discussions we’ve had about it as well as Mexican science fiction.
