Castaneda Doctor of Philosophy, Graduate Program in English University of California, Riverside, March 2019 Dr. Steven Gould Axelrod, Chairperson This dissertation’s critical nexus—the intersection of archival theory, archival practice, and poetics—is directly concerned with the poetic original and its flowerings, with attention to their archival functions in a contemporary context. Reading the poetic as a type of Anzaldúian narrative nepantla allows for the exploration of cultural and sociopolitical tensions that force the creation of a transformative space. My use of the term narrative nepantla is drawn from Gloria Anzaldúa’s concept of the nepantla as a borderland in-between state which is the product of cultural and sociopolitical othering. I am relating narrative to nepantla space in order to situate my research on Latin American poetics within fringe, de-centered, border-oriented perspectives which articulate the violence of their own genesis. Critically reading hybrid texts which translate the poetic into variant mediums is part of the process of inscribing official history with a spectrum of counter-histories which have resisted erasure. Like an archival document or object in a museum or government office, the poetic is a part of a larger system of production and sociocultural reality—but the poetic does not depend on an institutionally mandated call for collection and cataloguing. This dissertation addresses Latin American perspectives vi which are often tethered to traumatic events past, cultural erasure, and contemporary sociopolitical crises on a paradoxically personal-public scale. Ethnic minority counter- histories, art movements, testimonies, and ceremonial practices are in danger of erasure due to the lack of efforts to identify and preserve. Critically reading and researching the realities manifest in the narrative nepantla poetic, using decolonizing methodologies, may mitigate the erasure of racialized and marginalized American histories which are decolonizing systems of knowledge. Poetic discourse can be accessed and understood in critical terms that orient the spectrum of poetic form toward a decolonized reality. These chapters touch upon works by Julia de Burgos, Maceo Montoya, and Luis Valdez. Works by Walt Whitman and Allen Ginsberg are also explored in relation to Gloria Anzaldua’s poetics in Borderlands/La Frontera. vii Table of Contents Introduction 1-6 Chapter 1 The Articulation of Emptiness 7-34 Narrative Nepantla and the Poetic 7 Decolonizing Poetics 14 Theoretical Underpinnings 18 Chapter 2 Hybrid Poetics and the Counter-Historical 35-78 Reading Intertext and Collaboration 35 El mar y Julia: Poeticas Puertorriqueña as Latinx Palimpsest 43 The Song and the Sea 51 The Chicano Palimptext: Art, Death, and Altars 65 Chapter 3 Poetics Americana: From Whitman and Ginsberg to Anzaldúa 79-119 A New World Poetic 79 Old World Erasure, Peyote Angel Transformations, Alien Encounters 83 America, America!

Chapter one argues that the repository function of the poetic is that it allows for borderland perspectives to exist in relation to paradoxical modes of discourse. I call such archival spaces narrative nepantlas, as they archive a bordered and othered perspective which is contending with the inexpressible. Chapter two argues that hybrid poetics which archive the counter-historical are a product of translatability. The elements which allow for re- signification from medium to medium is the poetic. Chapter three argues that the “Indian” trope assumes the erasure of an actual Indian body. Gloria Anzaldúa’s embodied “poetics Americana” serve to reclaim the brown body and its indigenous reality. Her poetry decolonizes the “Indian” trope. In chapter four, I argue that Luis Valdez’ Zoot Suit uses pachuco poetics to disrupt and destabilize a status quo conception of Chicana/o/x reality. Valdez uses pachuco poetics to render a hybrid and decolonizing system of symbols and histories which directly contradict the official record of actual real-life events. Collectively, these chapter-oriented argumentative points serve to support my central thesis: The poetic can hold the breath of marginalized epistemic perspectives in language, visual art form, and music. The poetic delivered from marginalized, fringe-oriented perspectives should be understood as a natural resource for decolonization. In addition to challenging the validity of official records which are designed to support the colonially rooted power of a Euro-American status quo, such poetics support the social justice and consciousness raising work needed in an increasingly anti-Latina/o/x, authoritarian and xenophobic America. 1 The focus of chapter one is the Western oriented conception of archives and poetics, as they may relate to our conception of history, space, and authority. Understanding the archive as a tradition which is deeply connected to political power, social norms, and the process of acquiring, cataloguing, preserving, and assessing documents (and the offices or people which produce them) is the beginning of being able to change the purpose and conception of “the archive.” While my research does not attempt to reconceive of government archives and institutional archives relating to legal systems and economic transactions, it does attempt to reorient the conception of the archive toward the inclusion of perspectives in danger of erasure from the ethos of our communities. The project of cultural preservation is widely supported outside of the United States, where there are archaeological sites and buildings which represent empires and epistemic perspectives long past. However, in the United States, the project of cultural preservation at an intellectual, metaphysical, and material level is often the work of community organizations, regional non-profits, and academic institutions. When sites like Chavez Ravine are razed to build Dodger Stadium, the remnants of La Loma, Palo Verde, and Bishop become diasporic. There are photographs, police and legal documents, and the family members of the displaced who may have memorized their family’s story of Chavez Ravine. Somewhere, there may be journals from residents that narrate their experience. None of these documents, objects, oral stories, private papers, or ephemera are in one central archive. There is no museum which is dedicated to the preservation of Chavez Ravine at a material or metaphysical level. There is no site to preserve, unless you count the Dodgers home plate as “home” in another sense. The best 2 archives of Chavez Ravine are musical and dramatic: Ry Cooder’s Chavez Ravine and Culture Clash’s Chavez Ravine. These works, one musical and one dramatic, each have elements of the poetic, through lyric and monologue. They may not be “true,” and they may not archive “things” from Chavez Ravine,

  • Treasures of Darkness
    BAT IN A WHIRLWIND By Richard Balthazar Chapter 2. TREASURES OF DARKNESS TREASURES OF DARKNESS # Today being a Tuesday and a school day, I had to get up at six. Washing up in the bathroom didn’t take long because I didn’t shave yet, though I’d been hairy since about thirteen and had wonderful fuzz growing on my face. Folks liked my blue eyes and long lashes. I wore my brown hair in a flattop, real plain because Daddy said ducktail looked sissy. I didn’t really like the hairdo, but it looked a lot better than a crew-cut. Daddy also said I had a skinny chicken neck and ears like a cab with both doors hanging open. I had to admit my ears did stick out a bit, but I’d squash them back whenever I thought to. Still, I considered myself fairly handsome, hopefully enough for Annette to fall in love with me. Sister Janie left a bit later for her grade school in Lockesburg, the town about six miles north that we kids called Lockjaw. On my way back through her room, I shook her mattress to rouse her, and she snarled like an irritated cat. Another shake got her to sit up with her dark hair all awry, so I considered my fraternal duty accomplished. Over at the café, Melba brought me out some soft-scrambled eggs and sausage and as always waited for me to say they were good. Naturally Daddy told me to hurry up. He always wanted to leave just a few minutes before I got done with the funny papers.

  • Women and Ecopoetics: an Introduction in Context
    Harriet Tarlo Women and ecopoetics: an introduction in context This introduction contextualises and introduces the material within the special feature on women and ecopoetics as well as exploring the contributors’ and, on occasion, my own thoughts on the subject. I shall identify some common creative practices and ideological threads whilst respecting the sheer diversity of practitioners and practice presented here. After all, this issue features essays, statements, images, open form poetry, performance pieces, prose poetry, site specific work and found poetry from writers with experience as poets, critics, artists, educators, librarians and media workers. I have organised this work into sections as follows: Poems (selections of work from seven women poets); Recycles (selections of work making use of found text from eight women poets); Essays (seven essays on women poets from an eco-poetical perspective) and Working Notes/Ecopoetical statements. In addition to the working notes from featured poets which take the form traditional in How2, this section contains a number of short statements from writers made in response to the women and ecopoetics theme. Those that stand well alone also appear as “postcards” which has had the added advantage of their acting as a provocative “trail” for the special feature, as well as being a part of it of course. Generic segregation and classification of contents is, in some ways, contrary to the spirit of How2 and perhaps to ecopoetics too, yet it is I think helpful to reading work online to have some method of navigating our way around it. However, I should like to draw attention to the particularly hybrid nature of many of the contributions here.

COURSE DESCRIPTION An introduction to poetry written in English during the latter half of the twentieth century, this course will examine some key developments in poetic style and sensibility after modernism. Our readings and discussions will address both the sound and the sense of poems. We will look closely at linguistic elements such as diction, syntax, and rhythm, considering the ways postwar poets distinguished themselves from their modernist predecessors. Additionally, course discussion will focus on postwar movements and schools such as confessional poetry, the Beats, the New York school, and the Black Arts movement, as well as trends in postcolonial and ethnic- American poetry. COURSE REQUIREMENTS Papers You will write three papers for this course: two shorter papers (3-4 pages or 900-1200 words) and a longer final paper (10-12 pages or 3000-3600 words). The first two papers will present close readings of several poems based only on your own reading (i.e. no secondary sources). The final paper will explore a theme or trend in the work of two or three poets, and it must incorporate at least two but no more than five secondary sources.

  • American Book Awards 2004
    BEFORE COLUMBUS FOUNDATION PRESENTS THE AMERICAN BOOK AWARDS 2004 America was intended to be a place where freedom from discrimination was the means by which equality was achieved. Today, American culture THE is the most diverse ever on the face of this earth. Recognizing literary excel- lence demands a panoramic perspective. A narrow view strictly to the mainstream ignores all the tributaries that feed it. American literature is AMERICAN not one tradition but all traditions. From those who have been here for thousands of years to the most recent immigrants, we are all contributing to American culture. We are all being translated into a new language. BOOK Everyone should know by now that Columbus did not “discover” America. Rather, we are all still discovering America—and we must continue to do AWARDS so. The Before Columbus Foundation was founded in 1976 as a nonprofit educational and service organization dedicated to the promotion and dissemination of contemporary American multicultural literature. The goals of BCF are to provide recognition and a wider audience for the wealth of cultural and ethnic diversity that constitutes American writing. BCF has always employed the term “multicultural” not as a description of an aspect of American literature, but as a definition of all American litera- ture. BCF believes that the ingredients of America’s so-called “melting pot” are not only distinct, but integral to the unique constitution of American Culture—the whole comprises the parts. In 1978, the Board of Directors of BCF (authors, editors, and publishers representing the multicultural diversity of American Literature) decided that one of its programs should be a book award that would, for the first time, respect and honor excellence in American literature without restric- tion or bias with regard to race, sex, creed, cultural origin, size of press or ad budget, or even genre.

  • Universidad Nacional Autónoma De México Facultad De Filosofía Y
    Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México Facultad de Filosofía y Letras Letras Modernas Inglesas HL VII Literatura Norteamericana Por: Viviana Muñoz Krauss Profesora: Julia Constantino México, D.F., a 15 de febrero de 2012 About a Chicana Lorna Dee Cervantes, a Chicana poet from Mexican and Native Chumash ancestors, was born in 1954 in San Francisco, California. After the divorce of her parents in 1959, Cervantes’ moved with her mother and brother to San Jose, where they lived with her grandmother, whose personality and knowledge was a great inspiration to Lorna’s poetry and life. Racial discrimination was an everyday matter she had to live in San Jose, situation that forced her family to silence their mother tongue and prevent Lorna from speaking Spanish. She graduated from the University of San Jose in 1984, and then she continued her studies at the University of Santa Cruz, where she became editor for Red Dirt magazine, a multicultural literary space. Cervantes compiled her first collection of poetry at the age of fifteen. Her first and most recent book of poetry for children, Bird Ave, contains material of those early writings. In 1970 Lorna joined the New Chicano Movement, which was mostly male; this situation made her realized another face of discrimination: gender. Even so, she went on with her writing projects and at the middle of the 70’s, she started publishing a literary journal called Mango, which later was also the name for the small press she created with other Chicano writers such as Sandra Cisneros, Luis Omar Salinas, Ray Gonzalez, Jimmy Santiago Baca and Alberto Ríos.
