Queen of the ring wrestling drawings by Jaime Hernandez 1980 - 2020
No full text"For the past 40 years, acclaimed graphic novelist and Love and Rockets co-creator Jaime Hernandez has been privately amassing a body of work that no one else has ever seen--until now. Set in the heyday of 1960s and '70s women's wrestling and lucha libre, Queen of the Ring presents selected pieces from this secret archive, lovingly worked over using materials and processes outside of the scope of his beloved comics work. Threaded with commentary by the author himself, Hernandez's pin-ups, action shots, imagined magazine covers, and sketches present a fictional history of an iconic sport and culture, and an unprecedented look into the artist's creative process"--Back cove

Modernismo y modernidad en la narrativa de Alfonso Hernandez Cata
No full textThe narrative works of Alfonso Hernandez Cata were almost unanimously acclaimed by his contemporaries, and many laudatory articles and doctoral dissertations have been written about him and his works. However, there are aspects of the literary production of this Cuban author which have not been studied in depth. Furthermore, some of the premises often repeated by critics regarding Hernandez Cata's works have not been properly documented. Almost as serious is the lack of attention given to Hernandez Cata in a number of histories of literature, and, particularly, in studies and anthologies of Modernism.The purpose of this study is to recognize Hernandez Cata's prose as among the best and most representative of the Modernist movement in Latin America. The first chapter offers a succinct view of Hernandez Cata's life, personality and times, since all were influential in his writings, and a summary of the most important critical studies on his works, as well as of the author's own literary theories. Next, this study presents an analysis, both of the themes and the style of his narrative, within the parameters of the Modernist movement. In subsequent chapters, certain aspects of his narrative are analyzed, particularly from a thematic point of view. This study aims to revise a recurring error on the part of critics who classify Hernandez Cata as an author writing only about neurotic characters within a bourgeois ambience, and who limit the study of his works by focusing only on its psychological aspects. On the contrary, the writer, in his works, reveals a deep sensibility towards humanity's sufferings. In the final chapter, the analysis of Hernandez Cata's last works discloses that his Modernism transcends his time, and becomes Modern, that is, perennial.This dissertation does not analyze the totality of Alfonso Hernandez Cata's works; it does, however, present them in a new light, and hopefully it will contribute to a reevaluation of the literary production of this Modernist author whose works remain current today.</p

Death and Madness in the Works of Edgar Allan Poe, Horacio Quiroga, and Alfonso Hernandez-Cat
No full textIn this dissertation, I analyze the representations of the theme of horror in the short stories of Edgar Allan Poe, Horacio Quiroga, and Alfonso Hernandez-Cat. In my research, I have also analyzed the representation of the themes of death and madness that are germane to the works of Edgar Allan Poe, Horacio Quiroga, and Alfonso Hern-ndez-Cat. My analysis of their works explores psychological horror, domestic horror, madness, and death, in the works of the aforementioned authors. This dissertation proceeds from the premise that the narratives of writers such as Alfonso Hernandez-Cat are obscure in the research foci but remain germane to the topic of study in the linkages that seem to exist between madness and death in literature

The Shifting Race-Consciousness Matrix and the Multiracial Category Movement: A Critical Reply to Professor Hernandez
No full textIn this article, the author posits that race as an idea begins with consciousness that reinforces that race is real and immutable. The Multiracial Category Movement can shift our race consciousness away from traditional ways of thinking, talking, and using race. The Movement moves us beyond binary race thinking, and this new thinking shifts the extant race consciousness matrix. It also frees our consciousness so that we can personally and politically acknowledge our biracial and multiracial identities, and it perforce alters the traditional political meaning of race. Legal scholars like Professor Tanya Hernandez argue for the political meaning of race against a remediating balm against the color-blind jurisprudence, weakening of civil right protections, and pigmentocracy. While these new identities can promote color-blind jurisprudence by conservatives and pigmentocracy by those fleeing the oppressive constraints of traditional racial categories, the author argues against Hernandez and for the Movement\u27s paradigm shifting possibilities
Questions of Canon in Gilbert Hernandez\u27s Palomar Comics
No full textWhile questions of misrepresentation are starting to be addressed in academia — acknowledging racial, cultural, gender, and artistic diversity — there is still much work to be done to close the gap between the literary canon and what contemporary literature actually looks like. These efforts have been a step in the right direction, but representation of unconventional literatures is often spotty, boiling down entire literary scenes into one book. This is especially true for those that offer formal or structural challenges – including multilingual and graphic narratives that don’t easily fit into a canonical “box.”
Gilbert Hernandez\u27s Palomar comics, serialized in Love and Rockets and later collected into graphic novels, demonstrate literature that is difficult to categorize and is thus excluded from academic attention. The three graphic novels that make up the bulk of Palomar tell funny yet tragic stories of individual passions and community responsibility in a small Latin American village. As the series progresses, Hernandez transforms from an author dominated by his influences — Hispanic literature and 1960s comics — to an artist at the forefront of both “scenes,” subverting the expectations of each to great effect. Palomar’s last novel, Poison River, is a masterpiece of graphic fiction that should be considered among the best of all twentieth-century literature – Chicano, graphic, or otherwise. Though the canon has traditionally excluded unique voices like Hernandez, his work deserves to be reevaluated academically and have its complexity considered a strength, not a reason for exclusion
On the turbulence induced by non-breaking surface waves
No full textUpper ocean turbulence is a very relevant process within the context of quantifying the exchange between the atmosphere and the ocean. We present results of a study of turbulence induced by non-breaking waves from detailed observation in a small wave tank facility in the Faculty of Marine Science of the University of Baja California. The experiments were carried out with mechanically generated monochromatic waves in a tank of approximately 12m x 0.5m x 0.3m with a varying steepness (ak) from about 0.02 to 0.18, and detailed measurements of the vertical profile of the 3d velocity field within a water column of about 0.035 m in length. Routine data quality control includes the use of only high beam correlation signal within each of the acoustic beams used by the profiler. A rotation matrix was applied to the velocity data matrix in order to secure that the x, y, and z axes were properly aligned with the wave tank. Rather low wave reflection was obtained through the implementation of a beach at the end of the wave tank. The intermittent character of the turbulence present is shown as a region following the -5/3 power law in the spectrum. Nevertheless, this spectral shape is being observed in most of our experimental results, particularly in those where the wave steepness was not too small. Root mean square values are obtained from the turbulent fluctuations time series to evaluate an integral quantity to characterize the turbulence intensity. This intensity is analyzed in terms of the wave steepness showing a linear relationship. The turbulent kinetic energy dissipation rate is also estimated and the relevance of the velocity spectra directly estimated over a limited number of wavenumber bands is addressed. This work represents a RugDiSMar Project (CONACYT 155793) contribution and support from CONACYT project CB-2011-01- 168173 is greatly appreciated
