1. In the Chicana Identity.... piece, Arrizon points out that "Chicanismo nationalism's reinforcement of male supremacy or machismo as the symbolic rule of cultural representation" hurts their cause. In light of our discussion last week regarding the "falling apart" of the Chicano movement (especialy in comparison to the Civil Rights movement), how could/should the leaders of the Chicano movement included women/queers to their advantage?
2. In Stuff, Bustamente and Fusco end up going the entire other way. The godess is the one that is worshipped and feared, female sexuality is celebrated and addressed without ridicule or awkwardness. Is it too much though? Are they successfully making a point, just going for schock value, or estranging and alienating their audience?
