Eva'lution In Fandangos, Fiestas, And Flamenco: Adding To The Repertoire Of Chicano Expressive Arts, Trisha Venisa Martinez Jul 2014

Eva'lution In Fandangos, Fiestas, And Flamenco: Adding To The Repertoire Of Chicano Expressive Arts, Trisha Venisa Martinez

American Studies ETDs

This study seeks to explain this curious and unknown connection of Albuquerque flamenco to Eva Encinias-Sandoval and the dance traditions of Nuevomexicanos. I seek to identify the history and social impact of this rich and distinct New Mexico flamenco tradition by tracing the development of Encinias-Sandoval's career and the establishment of her now world-class flamenco arts program, offered through the University of New Mexico's Dance and Theatre Department, as well as thorough affiliates and organizations of the National Institute of Flamenco. More specifically, my thesis describes how Eva Encinias-Sandoval built and continues to anchor this inspiring expressive art form in …


Cul-De-Sac: Social Conversation Through Research And Performance, Peter J. Bennett Jul 2014

Cul-De-Sac: Social Conversation Through Research And Performance, Peter J. Bennett

Theatre & Dance ETDs

Cul-De-Sac: Social Conversation Through the Lens of Jazz Dance, discusses the rise of the suburbs following the Second World War, the homophobic society of the 1950s forcing homosexual men to hide in the closet, and the role of women within the suburban community, and how the research into these social issues evolved into an evenings length piece of dance theatre told through the language of jazz dance. Jazz dance is a distinctly American art form, often overlooked on the concert stage. In this dissertation, I endeavor to prove that jazz is a style of dance capable of carrying social messages …


Jiggs And Other Stories, Vondell Jones Jul 2014

Jiggs And Other Stories, Vondell Jones

English Language and Literature ETDs

Jiggs and Other Stories represent a diverse sampling of my work as a UNM graduate student and a writer of fiction. The works presented here are a pastiche of genres that include magical realism, tragedy, absurdist fiction, and fantasy and adventure. Beyond those significant categories, however, these stories are the product of my imagination. The power of fiction itself—Id like to believe—depends upon the capacities of the mind. When knowledge, experience, restless imagination and bold creativity are combined—good fiction supersedes the boundaries of literary categorization. My intention, in part, is to have these stories serve as an homage to many …

Mediated Narratives On Citizenship, Immigration, And National Identity: The Construction Of Dreamer Identities In Public Discourse Surrounding President Obama's 2012 Deferred Deportation Announcement, Marisa Garcia Rodriguez Jul 2014

Mediated Narratives On Citizenship, Immigration, And National Identity: The Construction Of Dreamer Identities In Public Discourse Surrounding President Obama's 2012 Deferred Deportation Announcement, Marisa Garcia Rodriguez

Communication ETDs

In the present study, I explore mediated constructions of citizenship, immigrant identities, and national identity in the coverage of the debates that surrounded President Obama's 2012 deferred deportation announcement. My goals in this study are to understand (1) how citizenship is constructed in mediated discourse in response to President Obama's announcement; (2) how immigrant identities, specifically young undocumented immigrants (DREAMers), are constructed in mediated discourse; (3) how national identity is constructed through these mediated discourses; and, (4) how the representation of DREAMer identities reproduces or challenges dominant public discourses on citizenship, immigrant identity, and national identity. Using social constructionism and …

Zombie Economics: Violence And Economics In Three First-Person Shooter Zombie-Themed Video Games., Brynn S. Shaw Sep 2013

Zombie Economics: Violence And Economics In Three First-Person Shooter Zombie-Themed Video Games., Brynn S. Shaw

Foreign Languages & Literatures ETDs

This thesis presents a textual analysis of three zombie-themed video games: Left4Dead, Call of Duty: Zombies, and Killing Floor. The relationship between violence and economics presented in the in-game actions is analyzed to demonstrate that when capitalism is seen as ideological in nature, the zombie-themed games observed can be seen as evidence of the reiteration of that ideology. A gradation of economic systems becomes apparent through a comparison of these video games to the zombie myth presented in film, using a combination of the methods of narrative examination and ludology. The games which imitate the capitalistic market do so by …


The Entertaining Art Of Dance Engagement, Crystal Jolene Fullmer Jul 2013

The Entertaining Art Of Dance Engagement, Crystal Jolene Fullmer

Theatre & Dance ETDs

In the world of dance, choreographers face a divide between creating choreographed works which fulfill the artistic vision of the artist and creating works which can engage the widest audience base. What are the elements that make choreography either artistic, or commercial? To research this I I looked at what other authors have to say on the idea of artists working and creating within a capitalist free-market economy. I also look specifically at how the pioneers of modern dance approached the creation of their work in a culture that did not yet have an understanding of dance as art. Finally …

Fadeaway, Leslie Eskeets

Theatre & Dance ETDs

This essay will explore questions related to the role of the supernatural in relation to Navajo identity, the role of magic realism within Navajo storytelling and discuss my approach to Dramatic Writing. I will analyze my play Fadeaway, a Navajo love tragedy that focuses on domestic violence, taboos and witchcraft within the Navajo Nation. The Navajo Nation is located in the Northwest corner of New Mexico spilling across the state lines of Colorado, Utah and taking up one-fourth of Arizona. The outskirts of the Navajo Nation are known as the "checkerboard area", patches of land are owned by State Government …


Disposable Boys: Emotional Location As Applied To The Experience Of A Contemporary Theatrical Audience, Kevin R. Elder Jul 2013

Disposable Boys: Emotional Location As Applied To The Experience Of A Contemporary Theatrical Audience, Kevin R. Elder

Theatre & Dance ETDs

This essay is informed by my evolution as a dramatic writer. Along with developing a definition and understanding of the term "emotional location", this essay will explore the growth of my work, and how it relates or differs in form and structure from the theatrical texts of Bertolt Brecht, the directorial and devised techniques of Jerzy Grotowski, as well as the theoretical performance analysis of Aristotle's Poetics. The essay will also highlight the intellectual questions that have shaped my thinking, and by extension, the creative work that I have produced while participating in the M.F.A. program. My work will primarily …


The Invasive Kind, Christina Hjelm Jul 2013

The Invasive Kind, Christina Hjelm

Theatre & Dance ETDs

This essay will explore the representation of the Latin American female identity in Dramatic Narratives. It analyzes the sexualized Latina stereotype frequently portrayed in the media and discusses how I, as a Cuban American playwright, approach creating more authentic portrayals of the contemporary Hispanic American woman. Consequently, this paper contributes to research in the fields of performance studies, specifically identity politics and the politics of representation with further implications in dramatic theory and women's studies. The failing state of Latina representation on U.S. television must be addressed as English-language networks are presently striving to provide relatable programming to the growing …


The Real And Represented Ophelia: An Investigation Of Choreographing Women's Madness In Concert Dance, Jacqueline M. Garcia Jul 2013

The Real And Represented Ophelia: An Investigation Of Choreographing Women's Madness In Concert Dance, Jacqueline M. Garcia

Theatre & Dance ETDs

The character Ophelia, from William Shakespeare's Hamlet, is an iconographic symbol and cultural emblem of beauty, death and madness. For over four hundred years, her vividly described and picturesque death has inspired the works of countless visual artists and theatrical performers. However, her presence in the larger cultural consciousness of society is not limited only to the realms of fine art, theatre, and literature. Throughout history, her influence has also spilled over into everyday perceptions and beliefs regarding the nature of women and madness. Particularly within Victorian England, Ophelia's character came to influence the recognition and diagnosis of madness in …


The Ethereal Promise: Progressive Ideology, Internationalism, And Propaganda In World War Ii Radio Drama, Steven Kostelecky Jul 2013

The Ethereal Promise: Progressive Ideology, Internationalism, And Propaganda In World War Ii Radio Drama, Steven Kostelecky

History ETDs

Radio drama in America between the years 1939 and 1945 both reflected the domestic life of its citizens and helped direct it. The United States government, independent organizations, broadcast networks, and individual producers deployed radio drama to promote the entry of the United States onto the world stage both by military intervention in World War II and as a democratic conciliator in shaping the postwar world. My thesis addresses the question of whether radio drama deployed as propaganda during World War II acted solely to reinforce an extant American ideology necessary for the conduct of the war or if it …


The Gracioso In The Theater Of Francisco De Rojas Zorrilla: A Manifestation Of Carnivalesque Humor In Siglo De Oro Theater., Maria Conklin Jul 2013

The Gracioso In The Theater Of Francisco De Rojas Zorrilla: A Manifestation Of Carnivalesque Humor In Siglo De Oro Theater., Maria Conklin

Spanish and Portuguese ETDs

This study examines the humor employed by the stock comic figure, known as the gracioso, in the plays of Francisco de Rojas Zorrilla, a major playwright of Early Modern Spanish Theater. The self-mocking nature of the humor employed by that theaters indispensable gracioso, with its subsequent prioritization of laughter, ties the comic figure to the then surviving medieval tradition of the popular carnivalesque. This tie lends the popular stock comic figure's humorous output an overall popular/carnivalesque identity that gives expression to a popular sub-culture. As a representative of the popular sub-culture, the stock comic figure's comical contribution, the laughter it …


Carnales: Transnational Affiliation In Chicano Vietnam War Protest, Kirsten Lustgarten Jul 2013

Carnales: Transnational Affiliation In Chicano Vietnam War Protest, Kirsten Lustgarten

American Studies ETDs

This thesis explores Chicano involvement in and protest against the Vietnam war through a lens of cultural production, particularly song lyrics. It identifies a tension between the fact that Chicanos had proportionally even more to lose from the war than did Anglos, and the fact that Chicano-authored antiwar song is unknown while Anglo-authored protest song is inextricable from the era in the popular imaginary. The study finds that Chicano antiwar song was scarce, and less explicit in tone than that composed by Anglos, and argues that this distinction was caused by a combination of assimilationist pressures and the dictates of …


Imagining "The Town Too Tough To Die": Tourism, Preservation, And History In Tombstone, Arizona, Kara L. Mccormack Jul 2013

Imagining "The Town Too Tough To Die": Tourism, Preservation, And History In Tombstone, Arizona, Kara L. Mccormack

American Studies ETDs

This dissertation looks at the ways popular culture, preservation, and economic exigencies continually circulate and interact in Tombstone, Arizona the ways tourists make meaning from the site the importance of the concepts of history and authenticity and the resonance of the Earp Myth and the Mythic West worldwide. Tombstone's place within that myth cannot be understated, as it has come to signify for many the ideas wrapped up in the myth as a whole. On a more basic level, Tombstone fits within wider trends in historic preservation and heritage sites that are central to an analysis of the power and …


Pedagogy Of Post 9/11 United States: Muslim American Students' Experiences, Teachers' Pedagogies, And Textbooks' Analysis, Randa Nabil Elbih Jul 2013

Pedagogy Of Post 9/11 United States: Muslim American Students' Experiences, Teachers' Pedagogies, And Textbooks' Analysis, Randa Nabil Elbih

Language, Literacy, and Sociocultural Studies ETDs

The events and aftermath of 9/11 continue to cause life changes for many Americans, particularly Muslim American students who have experienced socio-cultural and pedagogic exclusion, harassment and discrimination due to ignorance and misunderstandings. Teachers must inform their students about 9/11 and the War on Terror to eliminate misunderstandings and intolerance towards a vulnerable population. In spite of its importance, many schools have not implemented the topic as part of their curricula. It is not even included as part of social studies state standards. Recent editions of US history textbooks include some information about 9/11 and the War on Terror that …


Battle Of The Bains: Tactical Bathing In Two Expository Texts, One Film And A Novella, Leann Marie Lewis Jul 2013

Battle Of The Bains: Tactical Bathing In Two Expository Texts, One Film And A Novella, Leann Marie Lewis

Foreign Languages & Literatures ETDs

In numerous articles and texts published within the arenas of Comparative Literature and Cultural Studies, much has been written on the trope of the shared bath-and even more specifically the hammam-as a space of orientalism. Although researchers such as Magreban sociologist Fatima Mernissi, Algerian writer Malek Alloula, and film scholars Serena Anderlini-DOnofrio and Elisabetta Girelli have offered images of le bain turc in expository texts, art and media, and films as those which offer 'Turkish Dreams' of orientalist fantasy, this paper focuses on the space as a loci of performative strategies and tactical moves, which abet social resistance. I argue …


La Chute De La Femme-Objet:Comment Catherine Breillat Intègre Son Discours Érotique Féminin À La Conceptualisation De La Femme-Sujet, À Travers La Caméra, Dans Ses Deux Films Anatomie De L'Enfer Et À Ma Soeur, Ojana Albuquerque Jul 2013

La Chute De La Femme-Objet:Comment Catherine Breillat Intègre Son Discours Érotique Féminin À La Conceptualisation De La Femme-Sujet, À Travers La Caméra, Dans Ses Deux Films Anatomie De L'Enfer Et À Ma Soeur, Ojana Albuquerque

Foreign Languages & Literatures ETDs

La chute de la femme-objet: comment Catherine Breillat intègre son discours érotique féminin à la conceptualisation de la femme-sujet, à travers la caméra, dans ses deux films Anatomie de l’Enfer et À ma sœur probes the ties between the formation of women’s subjectivity in Breillat’s movies, its results in cinematographic sphere and its impact on spectators. On the movie screen, what was then unknown provokes deep reactions for showing us representations that go towards, against, and beyond our ontological experience as spectators. This sense of reality is highly prolific, since, by feeling restless, we start posing questions and thus, we …
