Grise relates to the audience with another dose of humor when she attempts to suck in her panza to fit into a pair of jeans. Alas, after all the jumping and tugging to fit into the jeans, Grise faces her biggest challenge: the roll of flesh bulging out from the zipper. Here, handy dandy pliers are brought to the rescue. She uses them to pull up the zipper and then victoriously stuffs the panza into her pants. This triumphant moment reveals women’s obsession with controlling and literally constraining the body so as to succumb to the hourglass figure young women …

Ambientes: New Queer Latino Writing seeks to provide a timely and representative archive of queer Latino literary and cultural memory in order to enact a more inclusive "American" literary canon that can apprehend the present and the future of queer Latino literary practice. We have assembled a diverse and representative sample of contemporary queer Latino writing in order to provide a source of pleasure for readers as well as a resource for instructors and students who have too often been deprived of this crucial though underanalyzed component of national literary culture.

Will The World End In 2012? A Survival Guide To Maya Prophecies, Felix H. Cortez
Faculty Publications
During the decade of the 1960s a Maya Monument was found in El Tortuguero, Tabasco, Mexico, in which reference was made to the end of the thirteenth calendric cycle on 4 Ahaw 3 Unii, or December 21, 2012. The reference is important because it points to the end of an impressively long Maya calendric cycle of 5,126 years, which is also the winter solstice. This reference and the well-known Maya interest in astronomical phenomena and prophecies has spurred wide speculations and claims that the Maya prophesied the end of the world as we know it towards the end of 2012. …

Irónicamente, fue en el coloquio estructuralista “Los lenguajes críticos y las ciencias del hombre” que tuvo lugar en la Universidad de Johns Hopkins en 1966, donde Jacques Derrida inició a los Estados Unidos por primera vez en el posestructuralismo. Al final de su ponencia “La estructura, el signo y el juego en el discurso de las ciencias humanas”, la cual ya exigía en el posestructuralismo como una rectificación de las teorías estructuralistas, esbozó su teoría de desconstrucción como la gestación de un monstruo a punto de saltar al mundo desprevenido.

The Border Mural In The Electronic Age: Xican@ Literacy As Rhetorical Agency, José Angel Maldonado
Open Access Theses & Dissertations
The Border Mural in the Electronic Age is a project that responds to blanket statements, not only about a people's literacy (or illiteracy), but to the ways in which we define and measure literacy in the electronic age. In this study, literacy is located on the US-México border, and this specific location serves as the social, political, and economic grounds on which to study the types of literacies used by the local population. A cultural ecology approach is necessary when studying niche literacies, and in today's world, traditional literacies coexist among emergent forms of literacy most likely attributed to technological …

This dissertation analyzes the resurgence of detective fiction in Mexican novéis of the twenty-first century and focuses on the writers' artistic intentions in creating complex texts that contrast the less experimental literature of the Post-Boom. The revival in the popularity of the crime novel in México has emerged, in part, because of the deep societal problems the country faces (such as political corruption, drug cartels, and economic crises), and the sense of powerlessness often experienced by its citizens when confronting such problems. From an aesthetic standpoint, a renewed approach to this genre springs from the novelists' constant quest to represent …

En algún momento pareció que todas las noches tiraban gente de los trenes. Otras veces, que violaban chicas en los parques. O asaltaban kioscos. Y remataban a alguien randomly en algún lugar público. O robaban restaurantes en los que, siempre, mataban algún comensal. O secuestraban al azar a quien tuviera un auto bueno, o una ropa cara o una cara bonita. ¿Qué pasa con todas esas historias? ¿Dejan de existir cuando desaparecen de los diarios? ¿O nunca existieron?

Puerto Madero, lado sur. Caminaba desde Independencia hacia el no rte cerca de las tres de la tarde. Llevaba en el bolsillo del saco el pasaporte recien salido de la Polida Federal, y aún me quedaba un rato para volver al trabajo. Delante mío, a unas cuadras, tenía al Puente de la Mujer, un adefesio del arquitecto español Santiago Calatrava. No puedo dejar de mirarlo por lo desubicado que está, por su escasa comunicación con el contexto, por su profunda inutilidad, por la enorme simbología que encierra su construcción, simbologfa de lo banal por encima de toda otra consideración, signo …

Emily And Annie: Doris Lessing's And Jamaica Kincaid's Portraits Of The Mothers They Remember And The Mothers That Might Have Been, Daryl Cumber Dance

In 2008 at the age of eighty-nine, Nobel laureate Doris Lessing returned to the mother who has haunted her life and her literature in order to rewrite a fictional account of the life that might have been and a biographical account of the life that she actually lived in Alfred & Emily. Her efforts to finally exorcise the powerful and hated figure that has hounded her for most of her eighty-nine years call to mind similar efforts throughout the canon of fifty-nine-year-old celebrated Antiguan-American novelist Jamaica Kincaid to free herself. Both writers take advantage of and seek to find …
