Reading their work as an archive of what is suppressed, resisted by language, and erased renders a provocative interpretation of what we think of as the Latinx archive and, thus, Latinx identity.","PeriodicalId":36126,"journal":{"name":"Middle Atlantic Review of Latin American Studies","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42024924","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Astiz","doi":"10.23870/marlas.337","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.23870/marlas.337","url":null,"abstract":"Los esfuerzos globales a favor de la igualdad de genero recobraron su impulso a partir de finales de la decada de 1970 de la mano de los nuevos movimientos sociales encabezados por mujeres de todas las edades en defensa sus derechos. A su vez, los mismos dieron cuenta del estancamiento del progreso adquirido en las decadas anteriores. Al igual que las experiencias de mujeres en otras profesiones, la vida de las profesoras universitarias en la mayor parte del mundo no ha estado exenta de desafios, particularmente en instituciones que historicamente priorizaron los intereses de sus homologos masculinos. Esta investigacion en curso sugiere que, a pesar de los avances logrados por las profesoras, las casas de estudio en America Latina siguen estando dominadas tanto administrativamente como politicamente por un orden patriarcal. Global efforts for gender equality regained momentum at the end of the 1970s from new social movements led by women of all ages in defense of their rights. The movements, in turn, revealed stagnation in the progress achieved in previous decades. Like the experiences of women in other professions, the lives of female university professors in most parts of the world have not been free of challenges, particularly in institutions that historically prioritized the interests of their male counterparts. This ongoing research suggests that, despite the progress made by women professors, centers of learning in Latin America continue to be dominated both administratively and politically by a patriarchal order.","PeriodicalId":36126,"journal":{"name":"Middle Atlantic Review of Latin American Studies","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45587608","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Uneasy Lies the Head That Wears a Crown: Narcoqueens, Beauty Queens and Melodrama in Narconarratives","authors":"M. Ruiz","doi":"10.23870/marlas.360","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.23870/marlas.360","url":null,"abstract":"The melodramatic narrative mode creates complex realities and news events as logical and consumable stories. This article considers the ways that popular media portray the cases of Sandra Avila Beltran and Laura Zuniga, both arrested on drug-related charges in separate incidents that overlap with narconarratives. My analysis demonstrates that Avila Beltran’s and Zuniga’s life stories intrigued audiences because, in the context of melodramas, women as criminals is an attractive trope that counters expected “feminine” behavior and challenges constructions of national ideals and respectable femininity. While Avila Beltran embodies a femme fatale figure, Zuniga maps to an ingenue. These tropes of idealized femininity soften the transgressive acts of the two women suspected of participating in criminality associated with the transnational drug trade, which is coded as masculine. Their narratives redefine melodramatic gendered performance in the context of a hypermasculine narcoculture that thrives in an age of globalization and neoliberal policies. Their stories are emblematic of the ways that women in narcoculture are narrated, revealing cultural anxieties about changing gender roles in the context of political instability and excessive violence. El modo narrativo melodramatico convierte realidades complejas y eventos noticiosos en historias logicas y consumibles. Este articulo considera las formas en que los medios populares retratan los casos de Sandra Avila Beltran y Laura Zuniga, ambas arrestadas por cargos relacionados con las drogas en incidentes separados que coinciden en parte con las narconarrativas. Mi analisis demuestra que las historias de Avila Beltran y Zuniga intrigaron al publico porque, en el contexto de los melodramas, las mujeres como criminales es un tropo atractivo que contrarresta el esperado comportamiento “femenino” y desafia las construcciones de los ideales nacionales y la feminidad respetable. Mientras Avila Beltran encarna una figura de la femme fatale, Zuniga se deviene una ingenua. Estos tropos de feminidad idealizada suavizan los actos transgresores de las dos mujeres sospechosas de participar en la criminalidad asociada al trafico transnacional de drogas, que esta codificado como masculino. Sus narrativas redefinen la actuacion melodramatica de genero en el contexto de una narcocultura hipermasculina que prospera en una era de globalizacion y politicas neoliberales. Sus historias son emblematicas de las formas en que se les narran a las mujeres en la narcocultura, revelando ansiedades culturales sobre el cambio de roles de genero en el contexto de inestabilidad politica y excesiva violencia.","PeriodicalId":36126,"journal":{"name":"Middle Atlantic Review of Latin American Studies","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49542965","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The films represent and engender circuits rooted in basic humanity and seek to recuperate a humanitarian model that establishes an ethics of relationality grounded in human rights as opposed to a necropolitical one derived from violence and consumption. Both documentaries become a form of resistance against a necropolitical system that consumes and destroys human life, through their ability to prompt viewers to recognize and apprehend the migrants’ situations. By employing testimonial and affective strategies, the films attempt emotional identification and affective transmission between the viewer and the films’ subjects, at the risk of replicating the very notion they are fighting. The films challenge viewers to comprehend the humanity shared by self and Other. Such a demand threatens the gore capitalist model of power that enables the violence, precarity, and vulnerability that migrants face during their journey.  Utilizando la conceptualizacion teorica de Roger Rouse (2002) de la migracion como circuitos y frontera, este ensayo analiza dos documentales centroamericano-mexicanos sobre la migracion, De nadie (2005) de Tin Dirdamal y Maria en tierra de nadie (2011) de Marcela Zamora Chamorro. Las peliculas representan y engendran circuitos arraigados en la humanidad basica y buscan recuperar un modelo humanitario que establezca una etica de relacionalidad basada en los derechos humanos, frente a una necropolitica derivada de la violencia y el consumo. Ambos documentales se convierten en una forma de resistencia contra un sistema necropolitico que consume y destruye la vida humana, a traves de su capacidad para mover a los espectadores a reconocer y aprehender las situaciones de los migrantes. Mediante el empleo de estrategias testimoniales y afectivas, las peliculas intentan la identificacion emocional y la transmision afectiva entre el espectador y los sujetos de las peliculas, a riesgo de replicar la nocion misma que estan atacando. Las peliculas retan a los espectadores a comprender la humanidad compartida por uno mismo y el Otro. Tal demanda amenaza el modelo capitalista gore de poder que permite la violencia, la precariedad y la vulnerabilidad que enfrentan los migrantes durante su viaje.","PeriodicalId":36126,"journal":{"name":"Middle Atlantic Review of Latin American Studies","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48315182","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
