  • A Cross-Cultural Study of Leisure Among Mexicans in the State of Guerrero, Mexico and Mexican Immigrants from Guerrero in the United States
    A CROSS-CULTURAL STUDY OF LEISURE AMONG MEXICANS IN THE STATE OF GUERRERO, MEXICO AND MEXICAN IMMIGRANTS FROM GUERRERO IN THE UNITED STATES BY JUAN C. ACEVEDO THESIS Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Recreation, Sport & Tourism in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2009 Urbana, Illinois Adviser: Professor Monika Stodolska ABSTRACT The goal of this study was to (a) Examine the existence and the understanding of the concept of leisure among Mexicans from the state of Guerrero, Mexico and among Mexican immigrants from Guerrero, residing in Chicago, IL with specific emphasis on age, gender, and marital status; (b) Identify forces that shape the experience of leisure among Mexicans from the state of Guerrero and among Mexican immigrants from the state of Guerrero, residing in Chicago, IL; and (c) Identify changes in the understanding of the concept and the meaning of leisure, and in leisure behavior among Mexicans from Guerrero caused by immigration to the United States. In order to collect data for this study, 14 interviews with adult residents of Chilpancingo, Guerrero, Mexico and 10 interviews with adult first generation immigrants from Guerrero to Chicago, Illinois were conducted in 2008 and 2009. The findings of the study revealed that the understanding and the meaning of leisure, tiempo libre, among this population was largely similar to the Western notion of leisure, as it was considered to be a subset of time, free from obligations and compulsory activities. Leisure was also considered a state of being where the individual is free to participate in the activity, desires to participate in the activity, and strives to obtain positive outcomes from participation.

Mexico and the People: Revolutionary Printmaking and the Taller De Gráfica Popular Description During its most turbulent and formative years of the twentieth century, Mexico witnessed decades of political frustration, a major revolution, and two World Wars. By the late 1900s, it emerged as a modernized nation, thrust into an ever-growing global sphere. The revolutionary voices of Mexico’s people that echoed through time took root in the arts and emerged as a collective force to bring about a new self- awareness and change for their nation. Mexico’s most distinguished artists set out to challenge an overpowered government, propagate social-political advancement, and reimagine a stronger, unified national identity. Following in the footsteps of political printmaker José Guadalupe Posada and the work of the Stridentist Movement, artists Leopoldo Méndez and Pablo O’Higgins were among the founders who established two major art collectives in the 1930s: Liga de Escritores y Artistas Revolucionarios (LEAR) and El Taller de Gráfica opularP (TGP).

Mexico's American/America's Mexican: Cross-border Flows of Nationalism and Culture between the United States and Mexico Abstract In 2006, immigrant rights protests hit almost every major city in the United States. Propelled by a wave of anti-immigrant sentiment and proposed immigration legislation that developed out of the 2004 presidential election, Latino/a activists demanded an end to the biased, and often racist, immigration reform debate, a debate that characterized immigrants as violent criminals who wantonly broke American law. Individuals of all ethnicities and nationalities, but mainly Latinos, participated in massive demonstrations to oppose the legislation and debate. In the Southwest, in cities such as Los Angeles, Phoenix, Dallas, and El Paso, Mexican Americans showed by force of numbers that they opposed this debate.

  • Mexican Plays with Architecture and Colour
    LESZEK MALUGA* MeXiCAn plays WITH ARCHITECTURE AND COLOUR MekSYkAńSkie zabawy ArCHiTekTUrą i koLoreM A b s t r a c t Colour plays a significant role in Mexican culture. Our study deals with four areas of using colour in a spatial composition on an architectural and urban scale. These are murals, i.e. monumental painting in the structure of architectural objects, colour- ful traditional and modern architecture, ornamental forms and structures, and current trends in the revalorisation of historical cities. Keywords: Mexican architecture, spatial composition, colour in architecture Streszczenie W kulturze Meksyku dużą rolę odgrywa kolor. W opracowaniu ukazano cztery ob- szary zastosowania koloru w kompozycji przestrzennej w skali architektonicznej i ur- banistycznej. Są to murale, czyli monumentalne malarstwo w strukturze obiektów architektonicznych, barwna architektura tradycyjna i nowoczesna, formy i struktury dekoracyjne oraz aktualne tendencje w rewaloryzacji miast zabytkowych. Słowa kluczowe: architektura meksykańska, kompozycja przestrzenna, kolor w architekturze * Assoc. Prof. Ph.D. D.Sc. Arch. Leszek Maluga, Department of Drawing, Painting and Sculpture, Faculty of Architecture, Wrocław University of Technology. 123 1. Games with space Constructing is a necessity for some people, for others it is a pleasure – a play with space, material, colour, an intellectual, artistic, aesthetic game.
