...Luis Cardenas’ Career Possibilities Have you ever been given the chance to pick between a job that will keep you financially set for life or a job that will satisfy you as a career and as a passion? Luis had a passion for teaching ever since he was in high school teaching crafts to 10 year old kids. “He decided to go into teaching nine years ago, between his sophomore and junior years in high school”(Integ, pg 64). Luis was raised in the largest city of the state, where he has deep roots with friends and family. For half a year he had felt like a slave as a paralegal in a large law firm, and another half year as a junior executive has only made him realize his desire to become a teacher. Finally after completing his B.A and receiving his teaching credentials, he decided to apply for a part time substitute teaching position until something came up. Soon because of the many retirements and the good impression he had earned with the school where he worked, they offered him a full-time teaching job. However, Sunset National Bank, a place where he applied, is offering him a job over 15 other candidates, “Sunset National Bank has chosen him over 15 other candidates for the trainee position because of his excellent academic background, fine references from his previous jobs, and outstanding interview” (Integ pg, 64) . This opportunity would give him a slighter better paying salary, starting at $38,000 a year. In addition to his pay at the bank, where he’ll be promoted to loan...

...Cambio de ruta de Luís Sepúlveda (Chile, 1997) Resumen: En el año 1980 el ferrocarril Antofagasta-Oruro deja la estación chilena y empieza su largo viaje hasta Bolivia. El convoy está compuesto por un vagón postal, otro de mercancías y dos de pasajeros. Hay muy pocos viajeros y el tren lleva a dos maquinistas y un revisor. El viaje a través de la pampa salitrera es muy aburrido, de tal manera que dormir constituye la mejor actividad del viaje. El tren está cerca del volcán San Pedro, cuando súbitamente el maquinista ve aparecer un banco de niebla muy espesa. Es tan espesa que no se ve absolutamente nada y por eso el tren tiene que esperar. La radio tampoco funciona y después de una larga espera deciden hablar con los pasajeros. Finalmente los maquinistas y un boxeador exploran las vías y se dan cuenta de que están sobre un puente. Ahora tienen mucho miedo y están inquietos, porque normalmente no hay ningún puente en todo el trayecto. Cuando vuelven al tren, el estudiante saca una radio transistora de su bolsa. El locutor habla del trágico descarrilamiento del ferrocarril Antofagasta-Oruro comunicando que la pasada noche el tren saltó de las vías y cayó en un precipicio sin dejar ningún superviviente. Personajes: Los maquinistas: Los dos maquinistas conducen el tren. Al principio están tranquilos y no hay ningún problema, porque es un viaje de rutina. Cuando ven la niebla espesa son cuidadosos y detienen el tren.También son valientes, porque exploran las vías, pero...

...The 1968 Student Movement and Social Democracy The 1968 Student Movement in Mexico was a protest against the political, economic, and social order under the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI). They criticized the PRI as party that claimed to represent the ideals of the Mexican Revolution of 1910, when in fact they had totally turned away from those ideals. The Mexican Revolution was a fight for all Mexicans to have freedom, democracy, and a more egalitarian society but its political momentum was halted by the PRI. Instead, the PRI and its leadership were too capitalist, right-wing, authoritarian, and oppressive. In response, the 1968 student movement sought the recalibration of society from one that was dominated by oligarchical, capitalist interests into one that was more socialist, democratic and equal. This was reflected in the six demands they wanted of the government, what they went to protest for, and in the way they structured their organization through revolving community leadership of its student committees. In effect, the way the student movement structured themselves was how they believed an ideal society in Mexico should be structured. A democratic society where everyone participated in the political process, where no one was left out, and where no one person or group had too much authority and power. Only the goals of egalitarianism, democracy, and social justice would reign supreme. To understand why the student movement of 1968 occurred in Mexico, one...

...waste of 47 minutes that won’t be given back, but the actuality is most poets write in hopes that the individual will interpret their own meaning using their imagination. That’s what makes poetry so fun! Jean Cocteau made it clear, at the beginning of the film, his display of the filming equipment in the background is a clear indication that he was attempting to express himself on screen. Jean was the first poet to do this. One scene that stood out was the young boy at the end lying down in blood, yet was completely ignored. As in all of his scenes it showed the despair and depression throughout the movie. I can only imagine this was a time the French were also experiencing those same emotions with their country. Der Andalusische Hund by Luis Bunuel This movie took a lot of research to understand what some of the scenes meant. Research on it was quite hard because majority of it was not in English. Here’s what I did find though. The two scenes with the ants in the palms, meant he was “itching to kill” the woman. Where I am lost is what does the scene mean when he has her cornered, yet he turns away to pull the piano, dead donkey and ten commandments towards her? I can only guess that the ten commandments was in reference to “thy shall not kill?” In any case this movie was very disturbing. From the eye being split by a razor in the beginning to the man almost looking like zombie while he is groping her. This short film was more suspenseful and left a lot of unexplained questions...

...Land Without Bread by Luis Bunuel There are numerous ethnographic surrealist films that have an intriguing relationship to aesthetics and politics. A film that exemplifies this relationship is “Las Hurdes: Tierra Sin Pan” (Land Without Bread). This film is only 27-minutes and is directed by the infamous Luis Bunuel in 1933. Bunuel was a Spanish filmmaker of the 1920’s to the 1970’s. He is often attributed to being one of the major contributors to the surrealist movement of the 1920’s. “Ethnographic surrealism is a utopian construct, a statement at once about past and future possibilities for cultural analysis.”(Clifford, 119) ‘Land Without Bread’ has a clear connection between politics and aesthetics. It uses many techniques, specifically the narrator and soundtrack, in order to enhance the ostensible political meaning of the film as well as link it to the ethnographic surrealist movement. Many ethnographic surrealist artists turned their attention to the problem of representing otherness. “Bunuel identified what he saw as a Surrealist tendency to “use” bourgeois society’s ‘other’s’ to negate the cultural status quo while never giving these others their due”(Lastra, 55). Land Without Bread is considered one of the earliest forms of ethnographic surrealism. Fatimah Rony describes Ethnographic cinema as “above all a cinema of the body: the focus is on the anatomy and gestures of the indigenous person, and on the body of the land they inhabit”(Rony, 111). While many film scholars...

...of October 2, 1968. Ten days before the Olympic Games, a group of 10,000 students decided to protest against the government’s oppression. Unfortunately the government sent the army to control the event and opened fire on the group of students and killed hundreds of them. All those innocent lives killed ten days before the opening ceremony of the 1968 Summer Olympic Games made a lot of noise in Mexico but also in the whole world. At that time, the Mexican propaganda controlled the media and let the citizens know that the group of students was hostile to the army, which explained the actions of the president and therefor the soldiers. The official paperwork was only available to the public in 2000. These documents got Gustavo Diaz Ordaz and Luis Echeverria, the Mexican president and his interior minister at that time in a lot of trouble, not only after the massacre but also after the publication of the government’s documents. The book I chose is Massacre in Mexico (“La Noche de Tlatelolco”) written by Elena Poniatowska. The book takes place in Mexico City during the year of 1968. During this period, Mexico has many political repressions. At this time it is also a year of searching and aspirations by students and the labor sector as well. This book is a collection of testimonies about the student massacre that occurred on October 2nd, 1968. It relates the thoughts and the feeling of the people in favor of the student movement but also the point of view of couple of people against...

Personal Narrative. 22nd October 2015. “Every day we are one step closer to filmmaking being as easy as taking out the brush and oils for a painting” (Veneruso, 1998). I was born in Barquisimeto, Venezuela on June 21, 1994. I grew up believing in self-expression, showing yourself and never hiding who you really are from others, part of my envelopment as a child and a teenager has been surrounded by political issues, involving my country into sad and hard situations, destroying our culture, education and economy, forcing and scaring the people who decided to trust into a different opinion against the government, those ones will be recognized as “Traitors” and “Enemies of the nation” at least that was the way they used to call them. The visual arts means to me as a way to escape from reality and open our minds to others, to make them understand that there’s a another world outside complete different as the one who we live in now. At the age of seven, my father took me into a Father-son trip to the beach, where he gave me my first camera, an Instant water proof Kodak, one of the most beautiful gifts that i’m still appreciating from hem. Since then I have been feeling a passion for the Films and Photography a passion who becomes an intuitive path that guides me through life.

It is believed that Ludendorff and Hindenburg realized as early 8th august 1918 that victory was not possible for the Germans because of the America joining in the war Ludendorff wanted to defeat British and France before the Americans join in the war.

...en la religión, representando la Virgen María y Jesús Cristo, o un santo en casi todas las piezas de arte. El renacimiento en España trajo consigo una forma de arte más natural y humanística (World Wide Arts). Dos artistas famosos del siglo dieciséis se llaman Luis de Morales y El Greco. Luis de Morales nació en Badajoz, cerca de Portugal, en la provincia Extremadura en el año 1519. Era conocido como “El Divino” porque sus pinturas eran muy religiosas. Por eso, Luis pintó obras para la Catedral de Badajoz y otras iglesias convencionales (Thomson Gale Corporation). Luis era convocado a pintar una porción del Escorial por el rey, Philip II. Su pintura se llama “Cristo Llevando La Cruz”. Al rey no le gustó esta pintura y, por eso, era enviado a la iglesia de san Jerónimo en Madrid (Encyclopedia Britannica). Luis se quedó en Badajoz para la mayoridad de su vida. Pero Luis no era tan protegido. Pasó parte de su tiempo en Sevilla como aprendiz bajo Pedro de Campaña. Cuando regresó a Badajoz, pintó murales religiosas para las catedrales en la ciudad. Eventualmente, se murió en Badajoz en el año 1586 (Thomson Gale Corporation). Desafortunadamente, no hay muchos más detalles recordados sobre la vida de Luis de Morales. Luis de Morales tenía muchas influencias para su arte.

...The content of the following paper explores the almost unheard case of the Cuban Five. Five males from Cuba were given unfair jail sentences after being accused of espionage and terrorism. Under false allegations and pretenses, Gerardo Hernández, Ramón Labañino, Antonio Guerrero, Fernando González, and Rene González have been part of a long trial with minimal media coverage. The five aimed to seize the plans of anti-Cuban terrorist organizations, many of which are based in Miami, Florida. The trial lasted over six months, and became the longest trial in United States history. More than 119 volumes of testimony and over 20,000 pages of documents were collected and even with the testimony of three retired US Army generals and a retired admiral, who stated that no evidence of espionage existed, they were still sentenced. A statement by Fernando González Llort (2001) clearly states the Cuban-American National Fund (CANF) appears to be the primary foundation of such terrorist organizations, involving and gaining support from various American leaders. The acts of the Cuban Five would expose the wrong-doings of many American key figures and for such a reason; the heroes were made out to be the criminals. González Llort also states the only thing he and his fellow companions are guilty of is reporting, or more so warning, in the most docile manner, possible threats to Cuba by terrorists in the United States. Plastered all over the media in the year 1999, was a unique custody battle...

Otero-Torres Department of Spanish and Portuguese 104A Carpender Hall DC Office hours: by appointment e-mail: dotero@spanport.rutgers.edu phone: 732. 848.6874 seminar description: Paulo Coelho’s The Alchemist is as a modern classic. Originally published in Portuguese in 1988, this novel has since been translated into 67 languages, becoming one of the best-selling books in history. Inspired by the teachings of ancient alchemy, the story narrates the adventures of a shepherd named Santiago, as he travels through the African desert in the pursuit of his dream: to see the pyramids in Egypt. As he journeys through the desert, Santiago becomes the ultimate alchemist when he learns to transform his life by tapping into the language of the soul. Our first goal in the seminar will be two-fold: to explore the contemplative principles of ancient alchemy as the foundation for this allegorical text and to delve into the “messy” stages of a hero’s journey. In medieval times, alchemy was considered a science, aimed specifically to transmute base metals into gold, to discover a universal cure for disease, and to prolong life. In our days, “alchemy” is basically understood as a metaphor for personal transformation. Indeed, the poetic connotations of the word “alchemy” underscore its lack of substantive...
