Book Description
Explores Chicana and Chicano popular culture through contemporary representations in both Hollywood commercial and independent cinema. Rosa Linda Fregoso's The Bronze Screen opens the way for international debate on the new critical field of Chicano/a cinema. Fregoso provides an incisive articulation of the ways in which narrative codes in film can telescope complex versions of Mexican and American culture and history. The often violent impact of 'first' (U.S.) and 'third' (Mexico) world cultures and geographies is channeled through the very term Chicano/a as well as its cinematic representation. Fregoso's masterful critique brings out with great clarity the irony, paradox, and contradictions of such historical collisions. --Norma Alarcón, University of California, Berkeley
Ofrenda
Author: Liliana WilsonPublisher: Texas A&M University Press
ISBN: 1623491916
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 202
Book Description
Liliana Wilson’s art of resistance and protest, dissidence and dreams, consistently calls attention to injustice. Wilson belongs to a group of Chilean artists who were intimately shaped by the political turmoil and repression in Chile in the 1970s and 1980s and who have become self-exiled artists working outside of Chile but who are still tied to the political period and to its issues and concerns. From a working class family that struggled financially, Wilson nonetheless was able to study law, which facilitated her successful immigration to the United States in 1977. She moved to Texas and in Austin found a cultural oasis that permitted her art to blossom. Now, after some thirty years of artistic work in Texas, she is recognized as a major Latina artist, whose influence extends beyond US borders. A crusader for justice and against oppression, she paints and draws in various media and has become an inspiration for younger artists concerned with not only political repression and inequality but also individual fear and despair. Ofrenda: Liliana Wilson’s Art of Dissidence and Dreams highlights some of Wilson’s most representative works, accompanied by biographical background and scholarly interpretation.

Entiendes?
Author: Emilie L. BergmannPublisher: Duke University Press
ISBN: 9780822316152
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 452
Book Description
"¿Entiendes?" is literally translated as "Do you understand? Do you get it?" But those who do "get it" will also hear within this question a subtler meaning: "Are you queer? Are you one of us?" The issues of gay and lesbian identity represented by this question are explored for the first time in the context of Spanish and Hispanic literature in this groundbreaking anthology. Combining intimate knowledge of Spanish-speaking cultures with contemporary queer theory, these essays address texts that share both a common language and a concern with lesbian, gay, and bisexual identities. Using a variety of approaches, the contributors tease the homoerotic messages out of a wide range of works, from chronicles of colonization in the Caribbean to recent Puerto Rican writing, from the work of Cervantes to that of the most outrageous contemporary Latina performance artists. This volume offers a methodology for examining work by authors and artists whose sexuality is not so much open as "an open secret," respecting, for example, the biographical privacy of writers like Gabriela Mistral while responding to the voices that speak in their writing. Contributing to an archeology of queer discourses, ¿Entiendes? also includes important studies of terminology and encoded homosexuality in Argentine literature and Caribbean journalism of the late nineteenth century. Whether considering homosexual panic in the stories of Borges, performances by Latino AIDS activists in Los Angeles, queer lives in turn-of-the-century Havana and Buenos Aires, or the mapping of homosexual geographies of 1930s New York in Lorca's "Ode to Walt Whitman," ¿Entiendes? is certain to stir interest at the crossroads of sexual and national identities while proving to be an invaluable resource.
Levanta Tu Cabeza

Languages : en
Pages : 136
Book Description
La vergüenza está considerada como el sentimiento más insoportable de todos. La vergüenza duele tanto que hacemos todo lo posible por quitar de nuestro interior el dolor que produce y para asegurarnos de que nadie más sepa que la padecemos. Las maneras que usamos para ocultarla terminan dañándonos a nosotros mismos y a las personas que nos rodean, a la vez que pueden ser la raíz de rupturas en las relaciones, conflictos en el trabajo, tensiones raciales y familias rotas. Al contrario que la culpa, que puede producir arrepentimiento y reconciliación, la vergüenza te conduce al aislamiento y, por eso, los problemas perduran. Todo el mundo siente vergüenza de vez en cuando, pero algunos viven constantemente bajo su sombra. Ya sea que tú mismo has sentido el dolor de la vergüenza o que quieres ayudar a alguien que la sufre, necesitas saber reconocer la vergüenza y aplicar la solución que Dios nos ha dado en Jesucristo. Levanta tu cabeza te ayudará a descubrir lo que puede ocurrir detrás de las máscaras que dibuja la vergüenza y te dará las claves para librarte de ellas. Al final de cada capítulo hay preguntas de reflexión para ayudarte a digerir lo que has leído. Las preguntas también son aptas para el estudio en grupo.

Book Description
Literary Nonfiction. LGBT Studies. "CHICANA LESBIANS is a love poem, a bible, a dictionary, nothing so simple as a manifesto--this book is yet another reason to believe--to believe in the girls our mothers warned us about, brown girls, lesbians, making their own love poems, bibles, dictionaries, manifestoes, reasons to believe."--Dorothy Allison "When I was selling books at a Chicana conference, I noticed book buyers were literally afraid to touch this anthology. I say now what I said then, 'Don't be scared. Sexuality is not contagious, but ignorance is.' If you've ever been curious, been there, been voyeur, been tourist, or just plain under-informed, misinformed, or unaffirmed, here is a book to listen to and learn from".--Sandra Cisneros
