The Significance Of A Distinction Between A Sexual Act And A Sexual Identity, Nirvana Fairbanks
The Significance Of A Distinction Between A Sexual Act And A Sexual Identity, Nirvana Fairbanks
Student Research Symposium
This paper describes the distinction between a sexual act and a sexual identity as seen in different cultural contexts with regard to male homosexuality. It describes differences in how homosexual behavior is interpreted culturally. It discusses how more value is placed on certain sexual acts while there is less focus on a sexual identity and vice versa. For example, in Latin American culture, if two men are sexually involved with one another, it is the acts they perform that dictate how they are viewed, rather than the fact that they are two men engaging in sex together. In Western culture, …
The Marxist Stream Of Untouchable, Daniel Blanchard
The Marxist Stream Of Untouchable, Daniel Blanchard
Student Research Symposium
This presentation was given as part of the Panel Presentation Studies in Postcolonial Modernism at Portland State University's Research Symposium.

Magical Realism As A Means Of Expressing Cultural Disjunction In Alejo Carpentier's 'El Reino De Este Mundo', Ryan Saul Cunningham
Student Research Symposium
Cuban writer Alejo Carpentier's 1949 novel El reino de este mundo is considered to be a key work in the development of the magical realist narrative idiom. The narrative includes instances of the fantastic -- including ghosts and animal metamorphoses -- that the novel's Afro-Caribbean characters accept as factual. In keeping with his suggestions that "the entire history of America [is] a chronicle of the marvelous real," Carpentier supposes that these elements elucidate an "authentic" New World mode of perception. However, the novel's narrative structure belies the author's objective. The concurrent presentation of both non-Western/magical and Western/disenchanted cultural paradigms prevents …
