Abstract:
The colossal “Coatlicue” sculpture has usually been interpreted as a representation of the female supernatural Coatlicue (Serpents Her Skirt) who gave birth to the Mexica patron deity Huitzilopochtli, or it has been identified as the cult figure of Cihuacoatl (Woman Serpent) or Tlaltecuhtli (Earth Lord). This paper offers an alternative reading of the monumental statue, one that recognizes the existence of at least three nearly identical “Coatlicues” and thus recontextualizes the monument as one of a larger set. The iconography of these great stone females points to their identity as Tzitzimime, celestial demons who were understood to descend to devour humankind if the sun were to fail. According to the Mexican chroniclers, a cadre of these fearsome monoliths dominated the sculpture progam of the Templo Mayor.

Abstract:
During the Chicana Literary Renaissance of the 1980s, Chicana writers–influenced by the Third World Feminist Movement–revealed new forms of representation of the Chicana experience. While concentrating on the subversive reading of the subject-object duality in Ana Castillo’s novel, The Mixquiahuala Letters (1985), Gloria E. Anzaldúa’s theory of the mestiza consciousness is also reviewed. Castillo represents the mestiza consciousness through her protagonist in a process of self-discovery through the reflection of autohistoria-teoría within the forty letters. The dichotomies of patriarchal ideologies that divide her from the Other are examined through the Coatlicue State, as inflected by such writers such as Julio Cortázar, Anaïs Nin and Miguel de Cervantes. Castillo creates a postmodern hopscotch style novel in which the reader is fundamental to the subversive interpretation of the three reading options (the conformist, the cynical, and the quixotic).

Abstract:
The Coatlicue myth of Meso-America is currently represented by the huge basalt statue of the Earth goddess on display at the National Museum of Anthropology and History in Mexico City. The Spanish invaders who unearthed the statue promptly reburied the goddess, who did not again see the light of day until 1803. Today she commands attention both as a singular work of art and as a reminder that Earth is, at the same time, a loving mother and an insatiable monster, one who ultimately devours those to whom she has given birth. From a postmodern stance, myths are fluid, not static, texts, and the story of Coatlicue will be examined from this perspective.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT Pacific and Atlantic-slope rivers of the Isthmus of Tehuantepec in Mexico contain two cichlid species of the genus Vieja relevant to the current study, V. zonata and V. coatlicue, respectively. The Atlantic-slope species was initially considered a population of uncertain taxonomic status and recently described as a distinct species based on three putatively diagnostic morphological characters. The objective of this study was to combine new and existing genetic data, along with reanalysis of morphological characters, to test the distinctiveness of V. coatlicue. Little genetic variability and no geographic structuring were recovered. Additionally, putatively diagnostic morphological character states were present across both species, failing to separate the forms. The synthesis of molecular and morphological data supports the recognition of V. coatlicue as a junior synonym of V. zonata.

Abstract:
Marginalized queers have experienced the “Coatlicue State” (Anzaldúa, 2012). Seeing and being seen in front of the public are painful to us. We feel ashamed due to stereotypes placed by heteronormativity and heterosexism. In this small space, I hope to accomplish one simple thing: break down different layers of shame to ask for understanding and empathy. I write this piece to embrace us—queer marginalized voices—in schools and in academia. This dialogue will thus open doors to discussions inside and outside of a “circle”. The suggestion at the end of this article hopes to touch on insiders and outsiders of this circle. Los queers marginados han experimentado “la Herencia de Coatlicue” (Anzaldúa, 2012). Nos duele ver y ser visto frente al público. Nos sentimos avergonzados debido a los estereotipos producidos por la heteronormatividad y heterosexismo. En este pequeño espacio espero lograr una cosa muy sencilla: deconstruir las diferentes capas de vergüenza para hacer una llamada al entendimiento y la empatía. Escribo este artículo para que sean acogidas las voces marginadas queer en la escuela y la academia. Por lo tanto, este diálogo abre puertas a conversaciones dentro y fuera de un “círculo”. Con la sugerencia al final de este artículo, se espera abordar a las personas cuyas identidades se ubican adentro o afuera de este círculo.

Abstract:
abstract: At the heart of this dissertation is a push for critical genealogy that intervenes into two major theoretical bodies of work in rhetoric and composition -- affect studies and queer latina rhetorics. Chapter one intervenes into emerging discourses on publics and affect studies from seamlessly recovering "the body" as an always-already Western body of rhetoric in the advent of this renewed interest in emotion, embodiment, and structures of affect as rhetorical concepts showing the long history of theorizing by queer mestizas. Chapter two focuses on one register of affect: anger, which articulated from the works of writers such as Maria Lugones and Gloria Anzaldúa offers a complex theory of agency for the subaltern subject. Chapter three links emotions like anger and melancholia to the corporeal rhetorics of skin and face, metaphors that are abundant in the queer mestiza and chicana writers under discussion, revealing the dramatic inner-workings of a the queer mestiza subject and the inter-subjective dynamics between the racialized and gendered performance of that body. By re-rooting affect in the queer colonized, yet resistant body, the link between the writing subject and colonial violence is made clear. Chapter four looks at the autoethnographic process of creating an affective archive in the form of queer racial melancholia, while Chapter five concludes by taking writing programs to task for their view of the writing archive, offering a radical new historiography by means of a queer chicana methodology.

Abstract:
In immigration and sexuality research there is new and emerging literature that understands the convergence of these two topics. However, scholarship primarily examining Latina lesbian immigrants is not as visible. This thesis examines the lives of Latina lesbian immigrants residing in Texas and California to understand greater meanings of immigration, sexuality and citizenship. Ten Latina lesbian immigrants participated in in-depth interviews, answering questions about growing up, sexuality, migration, citizenship and meanings of home. The research questions asked the following: What affect does immigration have on the sexualities and sex lives of Latina lesbian immigrants? How does their age of migration impact their sexualities? How do these women define and conceptualize citizenship? How do immigration and sexuality converge in the lives and on the bodies of Latina lesbian immigrants? The interviews revealed that the age in which the women migrated and their resettlement in urban areas contribute to their conceptualizations of a “sexually open” United States and a not-as-queer-friendly home country. Second, the women interviewed categorize citizenship in local and global ways. While some saw citizenship as part of every day practice, others found it to be connected with a sense of global community. Migration also developed a consciousness surrounding citizenship, as many of them were confronted with the concept upon migrating to the United States. Finally, immigration and sexuality unfolds in my participant’s lives in contradictory and non-linear ways. While many of the women felt a connection to their local gay and lesbian communities in positive ways, their lives are met with adversities in other ways that are affected by their immigrant status – including inability to obtain a driver’s license and obligations to become United State’s citizens. The women also conceptualize home in fluid and unfixed ways. Home and the body collapse when discussing migration, citizenship and nation. The research presented attempts to offer a conversation about the historical and current relationship between immigrants and LGBT people. It is also my objective to further conversations about multiple levels of oppression and how Latina lesbian immigrant women use their circumstances to gain a better awareness of themselves, and hopefully improve their rights and living conditions as human beings.

Abstract:
The theme of the dissertation submitted is the novel Devil Guardian, whose author is a Mexican writer Xavier Velasco. This dissertation is the very first theoretical work in the Czech environment, devoted to the above-mentioned piece of literature published in 2004. In a sense, Devil Guardian represents a characteristic Mexican novel of the early 21st century, combining tradition and novelty in a surprising and original manner. A significant feature of the contemporary Mexican literature is a departure from the theme of Mexicanity, generally from a programmatic indulging in so-called national literature. Velasco's novel is an exemplary, however, not only piece of literature proving that the literary break-up with Mexico is neither an exclusive nor a dominant attribute of the contemporary Mexican fiction. In Devil Guardian Velasco focuses his mind on the theme of personal and national identity, which he treats in a considerably nontraditional manner, giving an ironical turn to speak to a hypermodern girl moving in the globalized world. The dissertation is divided into six parts. The first part "Originality Rooted in Tradition" refers to Devil Guardian ensuing the tradition of Mexican novel and innovating it. The second part "Xavier Velasco" briefly introduces the author's life and work. The issues...

Abstract:
In this essay, Edmundo O’Gorman questions the historian’s effort to make sense of “art” from another culture. Before the art historian can theorize about the meaning of art in an “exotic” or “strange” culture, she first must identify which artifacts are genuine works of art (for that culture) and which are not. It could turn out, O’Gorman suggests, that none of the artifacts typically called works of art (pottery, sculpture, painting) is in fact a work of art for that culture. Contemplating the Aztec statue of Coatlique, O’Gorman then suggests that, aside from the historical project of “getting inside the mind of the creator,” one might imagine, as a literary exercise, that rather than representing “beauty” in the Western sense, the ancient statue represents “the monstrous,” which reveals the mythical fluidity of the universe and the mythical foundation of art.

Abstract:
This chapter continues to examine the theme of moral freedom as a marker of ambiguous cinema via analysis of Lucrecia Martel’s film Zama, specifically the study of its protagonist Don Diego de Zama. It extends and develops Beauvoir’s philosophy of ambiguity by working through the varied work of Latina feminist phenomenologists, Gloria Anzaldúa, María Lugones, Linda Martín Alcoff and Mariana Ortega. Through a study of key concepts, such as Anzaldúa’s la nepantlera (a different sense of self), and the Coatlicue state (referring to the inability to think or tolerate emotional conflict); Lugones’s notion of ‘world’-travelling and playfulness, and Ortega’s ‘multiplicitious self’, the chapter notes limitations within Beauvoir’s philosophy of ambiguity and identifies how Latina phenomenological thought addresses and articulates diversity in lived experience more effectively. The chapter argues that Zama illustrates how Martel’s filmmaking engenders a consciousness of being in-between, of crossing-over, of spaces and experiences that are hybrid, or as Anzaldúa says: ‘a consciousness of the borderlands,’ demonstrating a clear feminist, intersectional and intermeshed politics of aesthetics.
