Revisiting Juchitán: Witnessing An Indigenous Mexico Within The Latin American Archive, Michelle G. De La Cruz
Revisiting Juchitán: Witnessing An Indigenous Mexico Within The Latin American Archive, Michelle G. De La Cruz
Dissertations, Theses, and Capstone Projects
Throughout archives of photographic collections, as one discovers the focused, artistic selective process of images that become part of a photographer’s collection, one must venture further and ask: will these choices be decisively remembered by an individual or collective audience or actively be dismissed, misunderstood, and denied presence? For my master’s thesis, I will be analyzing Mexican photographer Graciela Iturbide’s photobook, Juchitán de las Mujeres, a photo-collection of the women-empowered indigenous society in Oaxaca, Mexico which erupted during Latin American photography’s prime in the 20th century, turning away from a deeply exoticized past and towards a celebration of Hispanism as …
Entre La Persona Y La Poesía: Atravesando La Sombra De Alejandra Pizarnik, Laura Pérez Torremocha
Entre La Persona Y La Poesía: Atravesando La Sombra De Alejandra Pizarnik, Laura Pérez Torremocha
USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations
Alejandra Pizarnik remains a mystery of latin american literature. Despite the multiple investigations that have been conveyed about her writing, the myth of this poéte maudite is still unsolved.

Performing Militancy In Laura Alcoba’S The Rabbit House (2008), Stephanie R. Orozco
Performing Militancy In Laura Alcoba’S The Rabbit House (2008), Stephanie R. Orozco
The Coastal Review: An Online Peer-reviewed Journal
Laura Alcoba’s The Rabbit House (2008), belongs to the cannon of post- dictatorship child survivors—who themselves lived under the precarious life of militancy during Argentina’s Dictatorship (1976-1983). This paper exams the image of a young seven-year-old child’s who undergoes serious confrontational mischief's due to her inability to fully acquire militant norms and live by adult rules because of her child-like nature during her stay in la clandestindad. Moreover, rather than assuming the role of an innocent child figure of the 1970s Left-wing revolutionary war, Alcoba’s child protagonist assumes a politically active character that has the ability to perform childhood as …
