Master of Arts (Art History), August 1996, 101 pp., 26 illustrations, references, 138 titles. This thesis examines the imagery of Jose Guadalupe Posada in the context of the Mexican Revolution with particular reference to the corrido as a major manifestation of Mexican culture. Particular emphasis is given to three corridos: "La Cucaracha," "La Valentina," and "La Adelita." An investigation of Posada's background, style, and technique places him in the tradition of Mexican art. Using examples of works by Posada which illustrate Mexico's history, culture, and politics, this thesis puts Posada into the climate of the Porfiriato and Revolutionary Mexico. After a brief introduction to the corrido, a stylistic analysis of each image, research into the background of the song and subject matter, and comments on the music draw together the concepts of image, music, and text.

    Linda by Diana Burbano

    Label Me Latina/o Fall 2018 Volume VIII 1 Linda By Diana Burbano A super badass story of finding your inner hero. A long monologue for a Chicana. CAST: La Linda: A Chicana woman. TIME: Now. A cute Los Angeles bungalow. A woman comes out the front door carrying a box. She is singing "Los Laureles" from Linda Ronstadt’s “Canciones de Mi Padre.” She ends with a loud Mariachi cry. She stops, listening. Laughs. LA LINDA: If mi abuelita was still here, she would’ve answered back just as loud, and we would’ve danced around the kitchen, using cucharas for castanets until mi papa would yell at us to quit with the tonterias and get him a chela. She sighs. You can’t go home again, que no? But what can you do? This old neighborhood is getting so gentrified! The local paletero is some twenty-year-old white with wax in his mustache. Indicating the box. I’m glad I did an idiot check. I found this stuffed in the closet of mi ’ita’s old room. She sets down the box, which is labeled "Mi Linda." She opens it. Takes out Linda Ronstadt’s “Living in the USA” record. Look at this! Makin’ the vinyl-lovin’ hipsters jealous. I wanted to BE Linda Ronstadt. For such a tiny little thing, Linda had such a big sound! I LOVED her god-so-beautiful voice and her cheesy, sexy look. I remember wearing the tube socks and short shorts. Pulls a pair of roller skates out of the box.
