The Reyes Family or How to Devour a Girl’s Selfhood in Sandra Cisneros’s Caramelo
Get PDFABSTRACT: Sandra Cisneros’s poetic prose depicts the Chicano family as a powerful loudspeaker whose deafening din stifl es Celaya’s individuality and her ability to articulate herself. The girl struggles with self-expression in a household where solitude, possession and individuality are unattainable because the family is built upon the concepts of communality and unity. As a result, Celaya devotes her word to the narration of the family’s history, forsaking her own voice. The trauma of the frontier accompanies the Chicanos throughout their lives as American citizens; consequently, the Reyes constant clamor functions as a distraction from the inevitable epiphany of estrangement. The border operates as a reminder of their immigrant selves that cannot be overshadowed by their noise and loud talk. Therefore, only in that dispossessed space their thoughts remain unvoiced. Sandra Cisneros employs the opposite symbols of silence and tumult to depict the duality of the Chicano family’s identity. RESUMEN: La prosa poética de Sandra Cisneros retrata a la familia chicana como un poderoso altavoz cuyo estruendo ahoga a Celaya en los momentos en los que intenta defi nir su individualidad a través de la comunicación verbal. La niña lucha por su derecho a la expresión personal en un hogar donde la soledad, la propiedad y la individualidad resultan inalcanzables pues la familia está construida exclusivamente sobre los conceptos de comunidad y unidad. Por lo tanto, Celaya usa su palabra sólo para narrar la historia familiar; abandonando de este modo su voz propia.Una vez que el chicano ha atravesado la frontera, queda marcado por este trauma durante toda su vida como ciudadano americano. Así, el clamor constante de los Reyes representa un intento de evadir la inevitable revelación del extrañamiento que acompaña siempre al inmigrante. Únicamente en la frontera permanecen los Reyes en silencio pues el ruido y los gritos no evitarían que aquella les recordase su pasado. Sandra Cisneros utiliza los símbolos opuestos de silencio y tumulto para describir la doble composición de la identidad de la familia chicana
Oral History Interview with Ben Reyes on July 14, 2016.
No full textBen Reyes was born in Burton, Texas in 1947. His family moved to Denver Harbor in Houston. The Reyes family worked as local migrant workers, picking up different crops in the surrounding areas of Houston. He faced discrimination in the schools he attended, and was even placed in Special Education classes since he only spoke Spanish. Reyes' mother was active in the community, and thus encouraged his activism as he began his community work at the age of eleven, registering people to vote. Reyes fought in the Vietnam War, and upon his return to Houston, he became involved in veteran groups that were demanding equality.He then met Lionel Castillo, who groomed him to become a politician and became a mentor. In 1972, after the creation of Single-Member districts, Reyes ran for State Representative of District 87. He and Mickey Leland employed cross-racial campaign tactics in order to win the support of African-Americans in his district. Reyes won the election. As a State Representative, he helped with the creation of single-member districts in Texas to ensure the representation of minorities in politics. In 1979, he ran for Houston City Council and became the first Mexican-American to hold a seat in council. He eventually termed out of his position. In 1992, Reyes ran against Gene Green for the U.S. House of Representatives unsuccessfully. He also discusses the current political sphere in Houston and Texas

"L’Hombre Cordial, Producto Americano" di Ruy Ribeiro Couto nella mediazione traduttiva di Alfonso Reyes
No full textOne of the most significant political archetypes of Latin American history, the homem cordial (cordial man) theorized by Sérgio Buarque de Holanda in Raízes do Brasil (1936) and for a long time considered politically incorrect in his own country, arrived in Italy thanks to Cesare Rivelli's translation published by the Bocca Brothers in 1954. But there would be, instead, in the Italian context very few signs of interest in the other homem cordial, the one theorized a few years earlier in a short article written by the Brazilian Ruy Ribeiro Couto, and transmitted internationally by Alfonso Reyes with the Spanish title El Hombre Cordial, producto americano. Questioning the reasons that might have left the homem cordial ribeiriano in the shadows enables us to understand how the Latin American debate of the Thirties is still very topical today. And how the archetype of the homem cordial buarquiano remains one of the fundamental interpretative keys also at an international level with all its social and geo-political implications.Uno dei più significativi archetipi politologici della storia latinoamericana, l’homem cordial teorizzato da Sérgio Buarque de Holanda in Raízes do Brasil (1936) e a lungo considerato politicamente scorretto nel proprio Paese, approda in Italia grazie alla traduzione di Cesare Rivelli pubblicata dai Fratelli Bocca nel 1954. Ma non vi sarebbero, invece, nel contesto italiano che pochi segni di interesse per l’altro homem cordial, quello teorizzato alcuni anni prima in un breve scritto dal brasiliano Ruy Ribeiro Couto, veicolato a livello internazionale da Alfonso Reyes col titolo in spagnolo El Hombre Cordial, producto americano. Interrogarsi sulle ragioni che potrebbero aver lasciato nell’ombra l’homem cordial ribeiriano consente di comprendere come quel dibattito latinomericano degli anni Trenta sia ancor oggi di grande attualità. E come l’archetipo dell’homem cordial buarquiano rimanga una delle chiavi interpretative fondamentali anche a livello internazionale con tutto il suo carico di implicazioni sociali e geo-politiche.Um dos arquétipos politológicos mais significativos da história latino-americana, o homem cordial teorizado por Sérgio Buarque de Holanda em Raízes do Brasil (1936), e durante décadas considerado politicamente incorreto em seu próprio país, chegou à Itália graças à tradução de Cesare Rivelli publicada pelos Irmãos Bocca em 1954.

From http://www.jendelosreyes.com/about: Jen Delos Reyes was born in the city of Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, and educated first in its local music scene of the mid-90’s infused with the energy of Riot grrrl and DIY, and then in its university. [1] How she works today is rooted in what she learned in her formative years as a show organizer, listener, creator of zines, and band member. Graduate work at the University of Regina made the space possible for her to see her work as an organizer as a key component of her continued creative work.
Jen Delos Reyes is a \u27farmer of sorts and an artist of sorts\u27[2], educator, writer, and radical community arts organizer. She is defiantly optimistic, a friend to all birds, and proponent that our institutions can become tender and vulnerable. Her practice is as much about working with institutions as it is about creating and supporting sustainable artist-led culture.
Delos Reyes worked within Portland State University from 2008-2014 to create the first flexible residency Art and Social Practice MFA program in the United States and devised the curriculum that focused on place, engagement, and dialogue. The flexible residency program allowed for artists embedded in their communities to remain on site throughout their course of study.
She worked with the Portland Art Museum from 2009-14 on a series of programs and integrated systems that allowed artists to rethink what can happen in a museum, and reinvigorate the idea of the museum as a public space.
From 2015-2022 Delos Reyes was the Associate Director of the School of Art & Art History of the University of Illinois, Chicago’s only public research university, where she taught in the departments of Art and Museum and Exhibition Studies.
She was the Director and founder of Open Engagement, an international annual conference on socially engaged art that was active between 2007-2019 and hosted ten conferences in two countries at locations including the Queens Museum in New York. After over a decade of large scale organizing she is now focused on work on the scale of her life.
She is the author of I’m Going to Live the Life I Sing About in My Song: How Artists Make and Live Lives of Meaning, Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Public Engagement But Were Afraid to Ask, and Defiantly Optimistic: Turning Up in a World on Fire.
Delos Reyes divides her time between Chicago, IL where she is the founder of Garbage Hill Farm, and Ithaca, NY where she is an Associate Professor of Art at Cornell University.

Actividades extractivas en la baja Sierra Tarahumara: implicaciones en la apropiación de la naturaleza
No full textLa minería enmarca una de las formas de producción y acumulación de la riqueza de antaño,perdurando a través de los siglos en el escenario de la zona serrana de Chihuahua, México. Cuya actividad y temática precisan de su caracterización y estudio con base a elementos socio históricos, además de la categorización de experiencias concretas que emergen entre los actores implicados. En ese sentido, abordamos el presente estudio desde la perspectiva social, con el propósito de analizar las dinámicas extractivas, contextualizando un estudio de caso en el municipio de Uruachi, Chihuahua, México, localizado en la baja Sierra Tarahumara. Los resultados que emergen, permiten analizar las relaciones, formas y procesos que van tornando conflictos entre mineros y los intereses de grandes corporaciones, ampliando la discusión sobre diversos aspectos que convergen
en una anatomía del colonialismo y rasgos de la ecología política. Asimismo, permiten apreciar el entorno natural como producto de acumulación por desposesión, brindando elementos a su vez, para el estudio más profundo sobre la apropiación de la naturaleza y los conflictos sociales

Disentangling Social Capital: Lab-in-The-Field Evidence on Coordination, Networks and Cooperation
No full textAnálisis y medición del efecto anclaje en la población bogotana segmentada por variables socioeconómicas
Get PDFEl efecto anclaje es un sesgo en las decisiones y respuestas de las personas, ocasionado por la interacción involuntaria entre los Sistemas de pensamiento 1 (Instintivo) y 2 (Racional) y activado por la manera en que se formulan las situaciones o preguntas al incluir información de variables irrelevantes. Este sesgo lleva a que se generen inconsistencias en las predicciones sobre la toma de decisiones de los individuos respecto a los esperados por la teoría económica ortodoxa donde predomina el individualismo y la racionalidad en búsqueda de equilibrios que maximicen la utilidad esperada.
El presente trabajo analiza este efecto mediante una encuesta realizada a 810 personas de la ciudad de Bogotá, en la cual se respondieron 7 preguntas, de las cuales 5 buscaban identificar las características sociodemográficas del encuestado para segmentar la muestra, y 2 preguntas adicionales para comprobar el efecto anclaje. Inicialmente se comprueba la existencia del efecto y posteriormente la resistencia a este sesgo que tienen algunos grupos de personas, segmentados por género, carrera universitaria, estrato socioeconómico, educación familiar y edades, con el fin de determinar si existen diferencias significativas entre cada uno de ellos.
Concluye finalmente proponiendo y analizando como el efecto anclaje puede afectar a distintos tipos de poblaciones según sus características sociodemográficas, identificando en cuál de estas puede ser más intenso el efecto del ancla generando mayores sesgos en sus comportamientos.The anchoring effect is a bias in the decisions and responses of people, caused by the involuntary interaction in thought systems 1 (Instinctive) and 2 (Rational) and activated by the way in which situations or questions are formulated. This bias leads to the generation of inconsistencies in predictions about the decision-making of individuals with respect to those expected from orthodox economic theory where individualism and rationality predominate in the search for equilibria that maximize the expected utility.
This paper analyzes this effect through a survey of 810 people from the city of Bogotá, in which 7 questions were answered, of which 5 were aimed at identifying the sociodemographic characteristics of the respondent to segment the sample, and 2 questions for the what anchoring effect. Initially the existence of the effect is verified and then the resistance and the same time that there are some groups of people, segmented by gender, university career, socioeconomic stratum, family education and ages, in order to determine the differences between each one of them. . .
Finally conclude by proposing and analyzing how the anchoring effect can affect different types of activities according to sociodemographic characteristics
