  • The Chicano Movement: Film Analysis

    848 Words  | 2 Pages

    Although it is desirable to incorporate personal experiences of others to get a feel of the encounters that occurred to the typical or atypical individual within the Chicano movement, this does not entirely mean that the filmmakers left out those who studied the history of it. Historian Mario T. Garcia was a prominent addition in contributing to the historical experiences within the movement and brings in credibility. The concept of utilizing Chicanos who endured the reign of oppression and discussed their involvements to the impartiality efforts was a thrilling and clever one, there was still a need of a backbone in the factual side of it. By introducing an essence of experience, it generates a personal and emotional aspect in the documentary that can be unfavorable and stray from the informative attitude of a documentary. Having Garcia apart of the documentary grounds this enlightening dimension that insights as preventative measure which is an adept move on behalf of directors Luis Ortiz and Antonio

  • The Chicano Movement in the LA School System

    861 Words  | 2 Pages

    Imagine seeing 10,000 of your classmates walking out of your school because they wanted a better education - a better way of life. In the 1960s’ Chicano students were being “pushed out”(Esparza) of school or being pushed towards vocational programs. East L.A was home to schools were “one out of every four Chicano’s completed high school”(Esparza). Instructors and the school board alike did not have an interest in helping Chicanos finish school to become someone other than a laborer and was expected of them to keep being a laborer. In “Taking Back the Schools”, Sal Castro a high school counselor claims, “I think the bottom line is the lack of concern of the teachers towards the kids and whether the kids were really getting an education or not...the reality set in that the teachers weren’t really concern for the kids.”(Esparza).

    Text 1 is an excerpt from Sonia Nazario’s book, titled “Enrique’s Journey” that serves the cultural context of Mexican immigrants who are mothers, who left their children to earn money from the city. The narrative text is targeted to individuals who are blessed with a good quality of life. Text 2 is “In Trek North, First Lure is Mexico’s Other Line”, an article by Randal C. Archibold with accompanying photographs by Rodrigo Cruz, published in The New York Times in April 6, 2013. Similarly, it serves the cultural context of determined workingwomen, intended for the American audience, specifically New Yorkers. Although both texts excludes the cultural context of men, but highly considers women, this social group is depicted differently; in the excerpt, women are represented as an inspiring, heroic character, which enables the audience to easily empathize with their struggles, whereas the article, with its intended purpose to inform the audience of the doubling number of illegal crossers, portrays women as a short-sighted romantic.

    The concept of Atzlán represents a belief, a symbol, a rallying cry, a declaration of autonomy, a nation, a journey 's end and a homeland. Perhaps it is more myth than fact. Nevertheless, its importance cannot not be overstated or underestimated. It is representative of the Chicano/a culture and its origins. Atzlán is the spiritual epicenter and ancestral home to fifty-four billion individuals whose Latino heritage defines them. Atzlán’s importance in literary and visual arts continues to be a focal point for Chicano/a artists and authors.

  • Light In The Dark/Luz En Lo Oscuro: Chapter Analysis

    The third chapter is quite a different spin from what I read in the previous chapters from author's Gloria. E. Anzaldua's book entitled Light In The Dark/Luz En Lo Oscuro. Chapter three is quite interesting. In this particular chapter on page 48, she reveals her identity as a jotitita (queer Chicana). Anzaldua goes to further states that this "mexicatjena-to enter a museum and look at indigenous objects that were once used by my ancestors"(48 Anzaldua). What is interesting to me is the she ponders on whether or not she finds her historical Indian identity at the museum. In addition, she also questions whether her identity could be found along the ancient artifacts and their as she puts it their mestizaje. I really

    For this assignment I decided to visit the America Tropical Interpretive Center because for my Chicano class we looked at this mural and I thought it would be cool to visit it in real life. The America Tropical Interpretive Center is a little museum  in LA to be exact in Olvera Street. This Museum is filled with artwork that represents what I think is the history of LA. The artwork that I chose is called America Tropical, it is a mural that was finished in 1932 but became famous way after because of controversy. The artist who painted this mural is the Mexican Artist David Alfaro Siqueiros. When you walk in the museum and you go to the second floor there is a balcony whose purpose is for you to be able to stand there to see the real mural. If you go down to the first floor there

  • Analysis Of The Body Politic By Hiromi Goto

    She provides useful insights into both queer studies and phenomenological perspectives. Phenomenology is the philosophical study of experience and consciousness, which is going to be further explored in this essay, through personal experience. Her chapter focuses on the ways in which we experience and orient ourselves within space, especially for those who engage in queer perspectives, first focusing on queer without a sexual connotation. For the purposes of this paper, I will not be discussing queerness in a sexual context, but rather in the way that it was originally defined as a spatial term, meaning strange, odd or to “twist” (Ahmed, 67) from the normative. In other words it is to deviate away from the norm binary previously discussed. Ahmed uses examples of vertical lines for the normative and in this example the deviant is the queer perspective since it fails to remain on this
