A (des)estruturação da identidade dos chicanos em ...y no se lo tragó la tierra, de Tomás Rivera /

Santos, César Augusto Alves dos January 2019 (has links)
Orientador: Giséle Manganelli Fernandes / Resumo: Este trabalho objetiva analisar como as personagens dos episódios presentes na obra da literatura chicana ...y no se lo tragó la tierra, de Tomás Rivera (1992), têm sua identidade (des)estruturada, exemplificando a (des)estruturação identitária dos chicanos, imigrantes mexicanos nos Estados Unidos e seus descendentes. Por meio dos conceitos de nação e nacionalismo adotados por Ernest Gellner (1983), Eric Hosbsbawn (2008) e Benedict Anderson (2008), averiguar-se-á o contexto histórico e os eventos ocorridos a fim de entender como esses conceitos estão relacionados ao processo de formação da comunidade chicana nos antigos territórios mexicanos conquistados pelos EUA, intensificado pelo movimento diaspórico. Após esse levantamento histórico, pretende-se comprovar o processo de estruturação/consolidação da identidade chicana, associando-a com o conceito de identidade de subclasse, definido por Bauman (2005) como a negação do direito de um indivíduo reivindicar uma identidade que não seja a que lhe foi imposta por outros; e o de desestruturação dessa identidade, articulando-a com a ideia de identidade fragmentada do sujeito pós-moderno defendida por Hall (2005). Os trechos e passagens dos episódios validarão as características e experiências das personagens como instrumentos tanto de apresentação como de ruptura dos estereótipos estabelecidos à identidade chicana. / Abstract: This thesis aims at analyzing how the characters of the episodes presented in the Chicano Literature novel ...y no se lo tragó la tierra, by Tomás Rivera (1992), have their identity de/structured, exemplifying the identity de/structuring of the Chicanos, Mexican immigrants in the United States and their descendents. Through the concepts of nation and nationalism addressed by Ernest Gellner (1983), Eric Hosbsbawn (2008) and Benedict Anderson (2008), the historical context and the occurred events will be discussed in order to understand how these concepts are related to the process of the Chicano community formation in the former Mexican territories conquered by the U.S., itensified by the diasporic movement. After the historical data, it is intended to prove the process of structuring/consolidating the Chicano identity, associating it to the concept of underclass, defined by Bauman (2005) as the denial of the right of an individual to reclaim an identity different from the one that was imposed by others; and also the one of destructuring this identity, articulating with the idea of fragmented identity of the post-mordern subject defended by Hall (2005). The excerpts and passages from the episodes will validate the characters’ features and experiences as tools for both presenting and rupturing stereotypes given to the Chicano identity. / Mestre

La Familia: The Analysis of Family in Selected Works of Mexican Literature / La Familia: Analýza rodiny ve vybraných dílech mexicko-americké literatury

Villatoro Sládková, Magdalena January 2011 (has links)
This dissertation reassumes the research and literary analysis conducted in my Master's thesis "Family Ideal and Real: The Change of the Image of the Family in Selected Works of Mexican American Authors" and extends its scope. As an interdisciplinary work, it examines the connections between history, sociology, and literature. Family as one of the central values in the Mexican American community, started to be oficially celebrated as such during the Chicano Movement, in the 1960s and 70s. However, the family was viewed as warm and nurturing by some people, and as strict and rigid by others, and this dichotomy is represented also in literature. After opening the dissertation with a discussion of Charles Taylor's and Will Kymlicka's view of multiculturalism, I move on to the analysis of the Mexican American family and address several statistics, which describe and analyze the position of Mexican American minority in society and also the Mexican American family, focusing especially on the common stereotypes and supporting them or refuting them with research studies on the specific topics. The literary section of the dissertation analyzes three segments of Mexican American literature: literature by Chicana authors, autobiographical narratives, and children's literature; and assesses the representation...

Autonomy road : the cultural politics of Chicana/o autonomous organizing in Los Angeles, California

Gonzalez, Pablo, active 21st century 1976- 15 September 2014 (has links)
Since 1994, Chicana/o artists, musicians, and activists have been in dialogue with the Zapatista indigenous movement of Chiapas, Mexico. Such a transnational bridge has resonated in a new and unique form of Chicana/o cultural politics centered on the Zapatista concept of “autonomy” and “autonomous organizing.” In Los Angeles, California, this brand of “Chicana/o urban Zapatismo,” as I refer to it in the dissertation, is symbolic of recent political and cultural organizing efforts by Chicanos to combat housing gentrification, economic restructuring, racial and ethnic cleansing, environmental pollution in low-income areas, and mass anti-immigrant hysteria. This dissertation contends that Chicana/o urban Zapatismo is a result of various local, statewide, national, and international social justice movements that embrace the global trend in urban and rural areas towards constructing locally rooted participatory and democratic methods of organizing that are “horizontal” and that mobilize against such far-reaching social forces as racism and global capitalism. Using ethnographic data and interviews collected between 2005 to 2007, this dissertation maps the emergence of Chicana/o urban Zapatismo by tracing its historical origins to the changing social, political, and economic conditions of ethnic Mexican communities in Los Angeles, California; capturing the everyday internal and external tensions between one primarily working class Chicano autonomous collective, the Eastside Café ECHOSPACE in El Sereno, California; offering the case study of the South Central Farm, a 14-acre Mexican and Latino immigrant community garden; and charting the trans-border organizing of Chicana/o urban Zapatistas surrounding the most recent Zapatista-initiated project, “the Mexican Other Campaign”. These four distinct case studies converge in Los Angeles in the creation of a unique political process referred to as “urban Zapatismo”. This ethnographic study suggests that by uncovering the everyday relationships and tensions between Chicana/o urban Zapatistas in Los Angeles and the communities they live in, researchers looking at the production of different forms of racisms and structural inequalities in urban areas may derive a greater understanding of social (re)organization and mobilization by a growing, diverse, and historically marginalized group like Chicanos in the United States. / text

La construction du sens dans les expositions muséales. Études de cas à Chicago et à Paris

Cristina, Castellano 07 June 2011 (has links) (PDF)
Dans cette thèse, j'ai montré les processus de négociation identitaire, les discours hégémoniques et les structures du sentiment qui opèrent au sein des expositions qui traitent le multiculturalisme et le métissage. J'ai étudié des expositions produites par des musées nationaux en France et aux États-Unis. Mes études de cas ont été développées au Musée National d'Art Mexicain de Chicago et au Musée du quai Branly à Paris entre 2006 et 2009. Mon analyse montre les processus qui interviennent dans la mise en scène d'un discours muséal complexe. L'étude place au centre de ses hypothèses trois dimensions initiales qui participent à la construction du sens dans les expositions : a) la production du sens, b) la circulation ou distribution du sens et c) la réalisation ou appropriation du sens. Dans la première partie de ma thèse, j'ai exploré les catégories de "sens et signification" à partir d'une approche philosophique. J'ai discuté la généalogie de ces notions avant de développer une approche culturaliste, notamment à partir de la théorie d'Antonio Gramsci, de Stuart Hall et de Raymond Williams, pour qui la signification n'est pas une donnée en soi mais une construction qui se développe à partir des luttes sociales, politiques et symboliques qui cherchent à contrôler les représentations et les croyances. Cette compréhension de la culture, en tant qu'espace de lutte d'interprétations, a ouvert la voie aux analyses de pouvoir et de discours au sein de l'univers muséal. J'ai développé les définitions de culture, occident, hégémonie, idéologies, intellectuelles et structures de sentiment afin de définir le cadre conceptuel qui sert de base théorique pour mes études de cas. Ensuite, j'ai présenté une étude minutieuse sur les origines et le développement des musées, du patrimoine et de la nation. Enfin, j'ai montré les débats contemporains en études culturelles des musées, les approches critiques et anthropologiques et l'importance de développer des études de cas concrètes à partir de cette discipline. La deuxième partie de la thèse présente la méthodologie employée ainsi que les études de cas. J'ai souligné l'importance de la transdisciplinarité comme méthode privilégiée pour l'analyse ainsi que les méthodologies employées pour l'étude des expositions : l'observation à l'intérieur et à l'extérieur du musée, la saisie des témoignages et des entretiens, l'usage des questionnaires et des formulaires. La sélection des musées et des expositions a été réalisée en fonction de la thématique des expositions et pas en fonction des collections ou des objets exposés. J'ai cherché à analyser des musées qui entretenaient un rapport hégémonique avec les sujets de l'exposition. Ceci afin de questionner les transferts culturels, les identités contemporaines en tension ou en conflit, et la cohabitation symbolique des sentiments d'appartenance. Aux États-Unis, j'ai analysé les expositions du Musée National d'Art Mexicain (NMMA) de Chicago. Les expositions étudiées furent : "La Mexicanidad" et "La présence de l'Afrique au Mexique". À Paris, j'ai analysé l'exposition Planète métisse produite par le Musée du quai Branly (MQB). Afin de comprendre la construction du sens des expositions, j'ai interrogé la communauté de production (directeurs, commissaires, comités et collectifs qui ont participé), la médiation et les messages à partir des artistes ou à partir de la propre mise en scène des objets d'exposition. Enfin, j'ai travaillé auprès d'une communauté d'interprètes afin de privilégier une analyse des discours en contexte et pas une méthode purement spéculative. Le résultat de mes analyses montre que les musées étudiés disposent des spécialistes qui légitiment scientifiquement la mise en scène discursive d'expositions, et que la fabrication ou production des sujets d'expositions est liée à des conjonctures politiques particulières. En effet, ces musées ont produit des expositions "engagées" en défendant une dimension culturelle et anthropologique. Avec ce geste, ils transformaient la muséographie classique de l'institution muséale. Par exemple, le NMMA de Chicago n'a pas seulement exposé des objets d'art. Il a sans nul doute proposé un discours de répercussion politique afin de démonter les frontières de race et d'ethnicité. À Paris, le MQB a exposé l'historicité du métissage planétaire. De cette manière, l'exposition interrogeait les discours sur l'identité nationale française, et contribuait au débat autour de la stigmatisation de la migration contemporaine. J'ai démontré, que la façon de sélectionner, d'identifier, de différencier, de hiérarchiser et d'exposer les objets, reflète des nouvelles pratiques culturelles, parfois innovatrices et même post-coloniales. Finalement, l'analyse sur le regard de la communauté des interprètes a fourni les résultats les plus originaux de ma recherche. J'ai montré que quand le visiteur parcourt l'exposition, il établit un accord plus ou moins harmonieux entre lui et le discours de l'institution. Si le visiteur "interroge" le sens de l'exposition, il le fait à partir des structures du sentiment qui dévoilent les identités ou liens d'appartenances des individus. En effet, dans mes études de cas, les expositions abordaient de manière explicite les problématiques concernant les différences culturelles et les identités. Cela amenait le visiteur à se situer à partir d'une circonstance individuelle précise, soit par rapport à sa nationalité, son origine, son genre ou son appartenance à une culture.

Ready to Run: Fort Worth's Mexicans in Search of Representation, 1960-2000

Martínez, Peter Charles 08 1900 (has links)
This dissertation analyzes Fort Worth's Mexican community from 1960 to 2000 while considering the idea of citizenship through representation in education and politics. After establishing an introductory chapter that places the research in context with traditional Chicano scholarship while utilizing prominent ideas and theories that exist within Modern Imperial studies, the ensuing chapter looks into the rise of Fort Worth's Mexican population over the last four decades of the twentieth century. Thereafter, this work brings the attention to Mexican education in Fort Worth beginning in the 1960s and going through the end of the twentieth century. This research shows some of the struggles Mexicans encountered as they sought increased representation in the classroom, on the school board, and within other areas of the Fort Worth Independent School District. Meanwhile, Mexicans were in direct competition with African Americans who also sought increased representation while simultaneously pushing for more aggressive integration efforts against the wishes of Mexican leadership. Subsequently, this research moves the attention to political power in Fort Worth, primarily focusing on the Fort Worth city council. Again, this dissertation begins in the 1960s after the Fort Worth opened the election of the mayor to the people of Fort Worth. No Mexican was ever elected to city council prior to the rise of single-member districts despite several efforts by various community leaders. Chapter V thus culminates with the rise of single-member districts in 1977 which transitions the research to chapter VI when Mexicans were finally successful in garnering political representation on the city council. Finally, Chapter VII concludes the twentieth century beginning with the rapid rise and fall of an organization called Hispanic 2000, an organization that sought increased Mexican representation but soon fell apart because of differences of opinion. In concluding the research, the final chapter provides an evaluation of the lack of Mexican representation both in Fort Worth education and in the political realm. Furthermore, the finishing chapter places Fort Worth's Mexican situation within the context of both Chicano history as well as identify some key aspects of the history of modern empire. This investigation poses pertinent questions regarding the lack of Mexican representation while African Americans end the century well-represented on the school board, in education jobs, and on the city council.
