I am not sure how easy it will be to get another copy of T’s important article on Spivak but I am recycling it because I simply must get a clearer desk, and clearer shelves. She says that it is not so much that Spivak puts French feminism in an international frame but that she … More Silvia Tandeciarz
I am going to have to make sure that paper doesn’t sound like I’m excoriating the Anzaldúa text for being “not Mexican enough.” (Should I worry about that?) Probably not. I haven’t gotten hold of the Vila chapter I wanted but I found this article by him and it is very, very good, that is … More In Revision
1. Entrevistas. 2. Pérez-Torre’s book that I know already I would find self-satisfied and strange — or maybe not, it’s not terribly informed, even though I would rather read Mónica Díaz’ edited collection on being indio in the colonial period. I should ILL it. 3. There’s an article Cholo Angels in Guadalajara that I would … More Some links and things for Santa Gloria
Here we have a copy of that Mignolo journal issue/book our library does not have. There’s an article by Sanjinés on the nation and it explains why the B. Anderson model does not work. And an article by J.D. Saldívar on Anzaldúa that thinks, as I have claimed to do, that what she does with … More The coloniality of power
Lomnitz-Adler talks about mestizaje and, or as deculturation. It’s not a place of exuberance but of loss. Is why the mestizaje fans spend so much time on healing? Titles: Original: Decentered discourse? Problematizing the “Borderlands” Next: Rereading Borderlands: Las márgenes de Gloria Anzaldúa Then: Transnational Borderlands? Las márgenes de Gloria Anzaldúa Then: Border trouble? Intersectionality … More Mestizaje and deculturation
From March 2017: “…mestizo and mestizaje…are doubly hybrid. On the one hand they house an empirical hybridity, built upon eighteenth and nineteenth century racial taxonomies and according to which ‘mestizos’ are non-indigenous individuals, the result of biological or cultural mixtures. Yet, mestizos’ genealogy starts earlier, when ‘mixture’ denoted transgression of the rule of faith, and … More Más y más mestizos
“Liminality” – p. 6 “Subaltern Representation” – p. 12 “Difference and Wholeness” – p. 19 [here check the Beverley reference] “Mestizaje” – p. 24 “Beyond Hybridity” – p. 36 Axé.
That point has been raised before (Castillo/Tabuenca) and responded to by Mariana Ortega. The problem is twofold. One issue, as scholars like Irwin (2001), Castillo and Tabuenca (2002), Saldaña-Portillo (2003), Castillo (2006) and Medina (2008) have noted, is that the borderlands in Anzaldúa’s model are very specifically the United States side of the Mexican border. … More Weak first draft of conclusion (it looks fine here but I don’t think I can include all of this)
Tabuenca has written a great deal more, but all of it would have to come by interlibrary loan, so I am saving that reading for the next time I write on Anzaldúa. In another key, this is her interesting syllabus. * Then there is the Robert Irwin article (see 518-519 on Anzaldúa, and the discussion … More (María) Socorro Tabuenca (Córdoba)
I have to read that old Robert Young book, Colonial Desire. I never did. Meanwhile, Rubén Medina is a smart person I met randomly at one MLA early on, and who has been smart since. I need to find an old article of his, “Gloria Anzaldúa: The Politicsand Poetics of Mestizaje”, in Crítica: A Journal … More Rubén Medina
