1	Chicana political visionaries : a review of political art, cultural resistance and Chicana aesthetics / Review of political art, cultural resistance and Chicana aesthetics Marterre, Elizabeth Nicole 06 August 2012 (has links) This paper presents a literature review on Chicana artists throughout history. It is an effort to situate Chicana artists as political visionaries, capable of conveying new visions for the future in their strategic disruption of the distribution of the sensible. Chicana art has been widely studied in the past two decades as a body of work that is both based in cultural formation, spirituality and a feminist critique of the Chicano Movement from 1968-1975. In this review of the literature, I will explore Chicana art in its role as political inspiration and a mapping of resistance to white elite power structures. Therefore, my focus in this work will be to analyze resistance and visual art, as well as the relationship between Chicanas and visual art. In this sample, I will canvas some of the work written on the historical processes that shaped Chicana/o identity, the Chicano/a movement and the early Chicana critique of that movement. This will simultaneously incorporate references to the artistic expression of the movement that has continued to shape cultural and political production in the Mexican American and affiliated academic communities for the last forty years. / text Chicana Political art Cultural resistance Visionaries
2	El cuerpo como libro viviente (Lima, 1600-1640) Van Deusen, Nancy Elena 12 April 2018 (has links) A inicios del siglo XVII, en Lima, un grupo de visionarias elaboró textos a partir de sus experiencias corporales, y, a la vez, dichos textos formaron la imagen que ellas tenían de sus propios cuerpos. Esto puede explicarse, en parte, por la creencia de que una persona podía tener acceso a —y apropiarse de— la lengua de Dios (su spiritus) en ciertas formas específicas. Las narrativas místicas, las marcas corporales y las palabras de las visionarias en trance mientras se comunicaban con las almas ausentes se consideraban textos legibles. Por tanto, la lectura y la escucha de textos marcharon paralelas al ingreso de las visionarias de Lima en un estado de éxtasis espiritual (arrobamiento) y a la lectura de sus cuerpos como libros vivientes, que por necesidad se convirtieron en un espacio legible.---In early seventeenth-century Lima, female visionaries composed texts of their bodies, and texts composed their bodies. This fact can be explained, in part, by the belief that an individual could gain access to and appropriate the language of God (his spiritus) in distinct ways. Mystical narratives, stigmata, as well as the spoken words of enraptured visionaries communicating with absent souls were considered readable texts because the object to be read could be a book, a painting, or the body itself. Thus the reading of, and listening to, texts was parallel to Lima’s visionaries entering a state of spiritual ecstasy (arrobamiento), and reading their bodies as living books, which perforce became a readable space.

3	THE BRONX COCKED BACK AND SMOKING MULTIFARIOUS PROSE PERFORMANCE Avila, Alex 01 June 2016 (has links) The Bronx Cocked Back And Smoking is a collection of multifarious prose performances recounting the historical, personal, social, political and cultural constructs of a city birthed by violence. This body of work is accompanied by video, audio, photography, and theatre performance texts. St. Mary’s Housing project, in the Bronx, is the foundation where most of this literary work takes place. The modern day Griot (storyteller) is a Poet, guiding his audience through the social inequalities and disparities that plague St. Mary’s community. The Poet shares personal traumatic insights while simultaneously utilizing writing as a form of survival to the conditions of the Bronx. This multi-platform performance highlights the metaphorical and physical concerns with the cycle of violence. This question is answered through the Poet’s choice by selecting the pen over the gun.
