Catholicism In Context: Religious Practice In Latin America, Gustavo Morello Sj Dec 2021

Catholicism In Context: Religious Practice In Latin America, Gustavo Morello Sj

Journal of Global Catholicism

A critical problem to study Catholicism in the context of Latin American modernity, is that the conceptual tools we use to study religion were designed to understand the transformations that modernity provoked in European religiosity. Studies on the religion of Latin Americans have largely explored the religiosity of the population through surveys that measure attendance, adherence and affiliation. While some anthropologists have explored religious practices among particular groups, we do not know how ordinary, urban Latin Americans practice religion. To fill this gap, a group of researchers from Boston College, Pontifical Catholic University of Peru, Catholic University of Córdoba, and …

Power, Policy, Profit: The Spanish Language In The United States, Eva C. Vazquez Nov 2021

Power, Policy, Profit: The Spanish Language In The United States, Eva C. Vazquez

Binghamton University Undergraduate Journal

Over the past several decades, the Spanish language has been considered secondary to English, specifically in the United States. However, this paper argues that Spanish is one of the primary languages in the country because it is the second most spoken language, despite efforts to maintain a monolingual nation. Due to the impact of capitalism, if one’s first language is not English, they are separated and viewed as inferior in society. After providing background on the history of Spanish in the United States, this paper explores the impact of power, Americanization, education and cheap work on the Spanish language with …


Above Water, Vania Arboleda Oct 2021

Above Water, Vania Arboleda

be Still

After a trial and error period, I understood that balance is not about absolute control but of continuous inspiration.

ABOVE WATER represents my balancing act during my first year in medical school while going through the Covid-19 pandemic. It has been hard not to lose pieces of myself in these tumultuous times, especially when there is so much to learn and so little time. I turned to my loved ones to bring me light and joy. To be those shades of color that I had lost. I painted ABOVE WATER as a reminder of how I got here and why …


Influencia De Las Culturas Indígenas Nativas Latinoamericanas En El Género De La Ciencia Ficción. El Caso De Las Plantas Sagradas Y Los Rituales Místicos De La Novela Ygdrasil De Jorge Baradit, Luz G. Hernández Valderrama Sep 2021

Influencia De Las Culturas Indígenas Nativas Latinoamericanas En El Género De La Ciencia Ficción. El Caso De Las Plantas Sagradas Y Los Rituales Místicos De La Novela Ygdrasil De Jorge Baradit, Luz G. Hernández Valderrama

Alambique. Revista académica de ciencia ficción y fantasía / Jornal acadêmico de ficção científica e fantasía

Se presenta un análisis del papel que cumplen elementos provenientes de las culturas indígenas en la construcción del universo narrativo futurista de la novela Ygdrasil, escrita por el autor chileno Jorge Baradit. La hipótesis de trabajo es que los elementos provenientes de las culturas nativas, tales como las plantas sagradas y los rituales asociados a estas, son elementos que contribuyen a la verosimilitud del relato, toda vez que la literatura funge como especio en el cual se reflejan y proyectan las transformaciones culturales vividas en el territorio. También se identifica que el autor alimenta la fábula novelesca con elementos ancestrales …


Painting Outside Of The Lines: How Race Assignment Can Be Rethought Through Art, Giovanni Mella-Velazquez Aug 2021

Painting Outside Of The Lines: How Race Assignment Can Be Rethought Through Art, Giovanni Mella-Velazquez

Gettysburg Social Sciences Review

For centuries art has been used to make us think about our own human experiences. Unfortunately, works usually reflect the era which they were painted in; this has led to various artists showing, maintaining, and therefore reinforcing racist thoughts in our cultures. Art can be used to create a new narrative for our race assignments and their meanings. The idea of loving one's roots has been prevalent in many cultures, but in art form a disconnect between history and the everyday experience can arise which could miss the mark in helping us redefine our own race. Therefore, artwork which empowers …
