The Chican@ Nueva Onda As A Poetic Tidal Wave: The Revitalization, Repoliticalization & Redefinition Of “Chican@” Through Poetry, Christopher Carmona

Diálogo

The term Chican@ has in the 21st century undergone a resurgence and new use and practice in border regions and among activist poets, indicating a new civil rights movement, in response to xenophobic laws directed toward the Latin@ community. This movement has taken on many aspects of the 1960s Chicano movement, but what is different is that this resurgence has occurred in the literary arts with writers and artists as the leaders of the movement. This study highlights poets at the forefront of a new Chican@ Renaissance, discussing the history, growth and redefinition of Chican@ poetry during the past thirteen …

La Tradición Conchera: Historical Process Of Danza And Catholicism, Jennie Luna Jan 2013

La Tradición Conchera: Historical Process Of Danza And Catholicism, Jennie Luna

Diálogo

La Tradición Conchera (Conchero tradition), often used synonymously with Danza Azteca (Aztec Dance), has profound and complex roots connected to both an indigenous and colonial trajectory. This article presents a concise map of this history and the ties to the Catholic Church, which has been both a process of syncretism and synergy. The syncretism of Indigenous world views with the Catholic Church has had elements of preservation and decimation as demonstrated within the complex history of Danza. This article focuses on the Post-Cuauhtémoc origins of Danza (dances) and its relationship with the Church, State, and Indigenous communities.

Latino-Indigenous Influence On U.S. Catholicism In Demetria Martínez's Confessions Of A Berlitz-Tape Chicana, Elizabeth Coonrod Martínez Jan 2013

Latino-Indigenous Influence On U.S. Catholicism In Demetria Martínez's Confessions Of A Berlitz-Tape Chicana, Elizabeth Coonrod Martínez

Diálogo

The ideas presented by New Mexico novelist-writer Demetria Martínez in her collection of columns, Confessions of a Berlitz-tape Chicana, explore how she espouses and represents Latino Catholicism, applied as a practice rooted in indigenous culture merged with Catholic imagery during the colonial era. Her writing and stances indicate that Latino Catholicism is built on principles of community and social justice. Critical commentary is drawn from Chicana/o writers and recent texts on Mexican-American spirituality.

A study around the concepts of “witness” and “testimony,” in the fields of Philosophy and Theology, as exemplified by the life work of Dorothy Day.

Vatos Sagrados: Cursillo And A Midwestern Catholic Borderlands, Adrian Bautista Jan 2013

Vatos Sagrados: Cursillo And A Midwestern Catholic Borderlands, Adrian Bautista

Diálogo

This article uses a gendered religious borderlands perspective to analyze the Cursillo experiences of Latino Catholic deacons in the Diocese of Cleveland (OH) and the Diocese of Toledo (OH), who trace their family histories to Texas, Mexico, and Puerto Rico. By considering experiences of religious ecstasy, male social bonding, and spiritual activism as a result of Cursillo participation, this article attempts to provide insights into the complex relationships among gender, race, and religion. Joining other recent scholars who have conducted intellectual inquiries toward gendered borderlands literature, my drawing, based on semi-structured interviews and archival research, attempts to demonstrate the significance …
