Mr Secrets and Social Media: the Confession of Richard Rodriguez

Burns, Amanda Jill 05 1900 (has links)
Richard Rodriguez's works create troubling situations for many scholars. Though numerous critics see him as the penultimate Chicano writer, many others see his writing as only pandering to the elite. However, all politics and controversies aside, he is a writer whose ideas upon language and public confession have been revolutionary. Throughout the thesis, I argue that Rodriguez's ideas upon language and identity are applicable to the social media landscape that we reside in currently, especially the public confession. Also, I use deconstructionism, along with postmodern criticism, to illustrate the changing arc of Rodriguez's confession from his first autobiography to his final one. In his first memoir, Rodriguez remains in the closet upon his sexuality, and the reader only catches glimpses of the 'real' character inside his work. In the second memoir, the reader sees a better glimpse because of his coming out; yet, even in this regard, he does not do so wholly and still leaves his confession unfinished. By the third, he applies themes and problems seen in his first and second works to discuss our browning nature, and how we are all sinners and that we desire to confess our sins. In my assessment of Rodriguez, I argue throughout all my chapters upon a measure of irreconcilability between the private world of the Hispanic immigrant family and the public sphere that they are forced to inhabit because of his citizenship and education. This irreconcilability creates a drastic limiting of identity for the author that Rodriguez is forced to navigate which creates his desire for confession.

From the Golden Gate to the Green Mountains: A Hapa Educational Autobiography and Meta-Critical Reflection

Brassey, Noelle 26 July 2012 (has links)
As a former UC Berkeley undergraduate and a University of Vermont graduate student, this is an educational autobiography of a self-identified Hapa, or mixed-race Asian American, through the lens of race and identity. Exploring what it means to be “white” and “privileged,” and realizing that these concepts--like identity--are fluid, this thesis adopts a dual methodology that includes personal narrative, as well as a meta-critical reflection. This thesis focuses on three memoirs: Bone Black and Wounds of Passion by bell hooks, and Hunger of Memory by Richard Rodriguez, each of which explore themes of reclaiming voice and reconstructing identity with regards to race, class, and culture.

O primeiro cineasta: cinema silencioso na Paraíba - marco zero de uma cinematografia fundada no real - no contexto do cinema brasileiro dos anos 1920 / The first filmmaker: silent cinema in Paraíba - ground zero of a cinematography based on real - in the context of Brazilian cinema of the 1920s

Vilar, Lucio Sergio de Oliveira 15 May 2015 (has links)
Deslocar a tônica dos estudos acerca da cinematografia paraibana dos anos 1960 (via advento do filme Aruanda) para os primórdios do século XX é o ponto de partida deste trabalho que empreendeu imersão em período da história até então não revisitado por pesquisas transformadas em documentos acadêmicos (dissertações, teses). Nessa linha e com esta perspectiva, o trabalho se propõe a responder uma questão central em torno da gênese da formação dessa cinematografia, marcada por uma singularidade deflagrada nos anos 1920: a filiação ao registro e produção de imagens em movimento do real, em contraposição ao gênero ficcional (posado), amplamente experimentado por demais ciclos cinematográficos do país no mesmo período. Revisitar o cinema silencioso paraibano permitiu, pela primeira vez na história, demonstrar ter sido este ciclo o efetivo marco zero da cinematografia local, fundada no código e na narrativa documental através de Walfredo Rodriguez, o primeiro cineasta. Procede-se a um reposicionamento de fatos, filmes e personagens obliterados ao longo de décadas para compreender a complexidade cultural envolvida no processo. O viés documental das imagens silenciosas vai se converter em gênero de expressão hegemônico no âmbito do moderno documentário brasileiro (1960) e ao longo de todo o século passado, com ressonâncias ainda presentes nas práticas audiovisuais paraibanas; a contemporaneidade das primeiras incursões, com ramificações, matrizes e mediações fundadas no campo da cultura nas décadas 1910/1930, fertilizou o campo das práticas audiovisuais, estabelecendo nexos geracionais e seu sentido de permanência na história do cinema brasileiro. / Move the tone of the studies on the Paraiba cinematography 1960s (via advent of Aruanda film) to the beginning of the twentieth century is the starting point for this work he has undertaken immersion period of history hitherto revisited by transformed research in academic documents (dissertations, theses). In this line and with this perspective, the study aims to answer a central question surrounding the genesis of the formation of this cinematography, marked by a singularity triggered in the 1920s: a membership to registration and real moving image production, as opposed to fictional genre (posed), widely experienced by other film cycles of the country in the same period. Revisit the silent cinema Paraiba allowed for the first time in history, demonstrate this cycle have been effective ground zero of the local film industry, based on code and documentary narrative through Walfredo Rodriguez, the first filmmaker.

The documentary bias of silent pictures will turn into hegemonic expression of gender in the modern Brazilian documentary (1960) and throughout the last century, with still present resonances in Paraíba audiovisual practices; contemporaneity of the first incursions, with branches, headquarters and mediations founded in culture in the decades 1910/1930, fertilized the field of audiovisual practices, establishing generational links and your sense of permanence in the history of Brazilian cinema.

El Comité Nacional de Repatriación: Mexican Management of the Conational Exodus, 1932-1934

January 2018 (has links)
abstract: This dissertation focuses on a quasi-governmental committee formed in November, 1932 during the interim Mexican presidency of Abelardo L. Rodríguez. “El Comité Nacional de Repatriación” (The National Repatriation Committee) brought together Mexican businessmen, politicians, social-aid administrators and government officials to deal with the U.S. repatriations of “ethnic Mexicans” (Mexican nationals and Mexican Americans). The Comité attempted to raise half a million pesos (“La Campaña de Medio Millón”) for the repatriates to cultivate Mexico’s hinterlands in agricultural communities (“colonias”). However, the Comité’s promised delivery of farm equipment, tools, livestock and guaranteed wages came too slowly for the still destitute and starving repatriados who sometimes reacted with threats of violence against local and state officials. Cloaked in political rhetoric, the Comité failed to meet the expectations of the repatriate population and the Mexican public. The ambitious plans of the Comité became mired in confusion and scandal. Finally, bowing to pressure from Mexican labor unions and the Mexican press, President Rodríguez dissolved the Comité on June 14, 1934. In addition, this work addresses Mexican immigration settlement through the early 1930s, Mexican immigration theory, the administration of President Herbert Hoover and the conational exodus. The hardships faced by the repatriates are covered as well as unemployment issues, nativism, and U.S. immigration policies through the early years of the Great Depression. The conclusions reached confirm that the general Mexican public welcomed the Campaña de Medio Millón and the work initiated by the National Repatriation Committee. However, the negative publicity regarding the failure of the two principal resettlement colonies in Oaxaca and Guerrero convinced President Rodríguez to disband both the Comité and the Campaña de Medio Millón. / Dissertation/Thesis / Doctoral Dissertation History 2018

Searching for Sugar Man. En studie av autenticitet och reception / Searching for Sugar Man. A study of authenticity och reception

Utterström, Ingela January 2014 (has links)
Malik Bendjelloul vann en Oscar 2013 med dokumentärfilmen Searching for Sugar Man. Det varSveriges första Oscar för en dokumentärfilm sedan Arne Sucksdorff belönades för Människor i stad1949. Searching for Sugar Man handlar om den amerikanske musikern Sixto Rodriguez somspåddes en lysande karriär i början av 1970-talet. I Sverige har filmen hyllats i medierna. Vissakritiker har dock ställt frågan om det går att välja bort vad som inte passar in i en dokumentär.Malik Bendjelloul har i filmen gjort valet att inte nämna Sixto Rodriguez karriär i Australien ibörjan av 1980-talet.I uppsatsen studeras hur filmen förhåller sig formmässigt och ämnesmässigt tilldokumentärfilmshistorien samt om dess uppbyggnad är påverkad av den klassiska Hollywoodfilmen.En studie görs också över hur synen på autenticitet inom dokumentärfilmen kommer tilluttryck hos recensenter och filmforskare. Frågan ställs om en bra berättad historia ur ett konstnärligtperspektiv medger ett lägre krav på autenticitet? Uppsatsens slutsats är att vidare forskning behövs,ett förslag är publikundersökningar, för att undersöka om påverkan från reality-TV lett till enförskjutning i synen på autenticitet inom dokumentärfilmen.
