According to the field of sociolinguistics of globalization, migrants resettle in new countries through deterritorialization and reterritorialization processes, which entail changes in the perception of the language and symbols of the homeland and those of the communities that migrants establish themselves in. Given that this contextual relation is expressed in the public space, the present study analyzes how Dominican resources are used in the linguistic and semiotic landscape of Tetuán, a well-known Dominican neighborhood of Madrid. Using both quantitative and qualitative methodologies, results show both the presence of the Dominican Spanish as well as Dominican symbols in the public space. Findings suggest that the Dominican community in Madrid has adapted their new place to make it more similar to their homeland, the Dominican Republic, reterritorializing the linguistic and semiotic landscape of Tetuán while building and shaping new identities. This study contributes to the body of research on linguistic landscape and linguistic attitudes in multilingual settings.

Abstract This article revisits Julia Alvarez’s critically acclaimed historical novel In the Time of the Butterflies (1994). While much scholarship has paid attention to the novel as historiographic metafiction, its depiction of Rafael Leónidas Trujillo’s regime (1930-61), and its feminist perspective on the Dominican Republic, its racial politics are under-studied. In particular, scholars have overlooked Fela, the Afra-Dominican servant, spirit medium, and storyteller. I argue that studying Fela’s presence in the text as an unauthorized and unauthored voice not only adds complexity to the production of historiography and storytelling but also provides new insight into postcolonial feminist critiques of voice/lessness, narrative, and marginalized identities in the novel and criticism on it. Closely analyzing Fela’s voice—as it intersects with storytelling, historical slave narratives, Vodou, the maternal, and Haiti’s contribution to the Dominican Republic’s history—makes visible the unacknowledged yet essential role of the Afra-Dominican not only in this novel specifically but also to the Dominican Republic more generally.

Abstract Current discourse on Latin imagery in rural Greek churches in Venetian Crete is habitually focused on images of St Francis. The explanations offered by scholars concerning his appearances in this context usually revolve around Francis’s perceived interconfessional appeal, but the introduction of another Latin saint from a different mendicant order into the monumental art of Byzantine character on Crete revises this picture significantly. The present article discusses images of Dominican saints found in Cretan churches of the Venetian period. With statutes promulgated in 1254 and 1256, the General Chapter of the Dominicans encouraged the veneration of Dominican saints through the dissemination of their images, and the representation of St Peter Martyr in his eponymous church in Candia clearly constitutes a visual testimony to this policy. At the same time, the portrait of St Peter Martyr in the Greek (Orthodox) church of St George in the village of Apostoloi in Pediada (in the wider Candia region) provides grounds for a discussion of cultural difference in Venetian Crete, as well as for the interaction between the Latin and Greek communities around the time of the revolt of St Titus. In my view, this representation, which is currently the only known example in a Greek church, should be re-examined in light of the prominent Venetian presence in the aforementioned region and the specificity of the local context.

This article considers the formation and representation of Washington, D.C.'s Dominican community in the Anacostia Museum's 1994 -1995 exhibit, Black Mosaic: Community, Race and Ethnicity Among Black Immigrants in D.C. The exhibit successfully pointed to the extensive historical presence of African Diaspora peoples in Latin America and explored the development of subsequent Diaspora from those communities into Washington, D.C. The case of Dominican immigrants to D.C., however, illustrates the continued privileging of a U.S.- or Anglo-centric ideation of African-American history and identity. I argue that a more accurate and politically useful formulation would call for an understanding that the African Diaspora first arrived in what would become Santo Domingo and was constitutive of Latin America several centuries before the arrival of Anglo colonizers and the formation of what would become the United States; that slavery was a polyfacetic institution that articulated with particular colonial and imperial systems and local economies in the Americas in ways that subsequently influenced racial orders and identities in multiple ways, both at home and in Diaspora; and that Dominicans' negotiations of the competing demands of blackness and Latinidad make these points especially salient.

Texto completoResumen
The Dominican American community in New York is perhaps one of the best examples of how processes of transculturation are affecting traditional definitions of ethnic identification. Given the intense economic, social and cultural transnational exchanges between the island and the USA from the 1960s, Dominicanyorks have been challenging the illusion of homogeneity in the definition of Americanness for decades, creating transnational social networks that transcend traditional national and ethnographic boundaries. The theatrical works of Josefina Báez, a Dominican American performer living in New York, and Sherezada (Chiqui) Vicioso, a Dominican poet and playwright who lived and worked in the US metropolis for decades before moving back to the Dominican Republic, lyrically explore issues of diaspora, identity and migration and the impact these phenomena might have in the lives of migrant Dominican women. Presenting diasporic experiences from two differing but interconnected locales – New York and the Dominican Republic – these plays offer two complementary views on the ways in which ethnicity, race, social class, age and geopolitical location interact in the formation of transcultural identities, thus contributing to develop a hemispheric approach to the study of identity formation in the Americas.

“Neither Here Nor There.” The Experience of Borderless Nation in Contemporary Dominican-American LiteratureDiscussing migrant identities, critics very often focus on the state in-between, the state between the borders, or being neither here nor there, and a migrant group that seems to epitomize this in-between condition is the Dominican-Americans. Consequently, the article seeks to examine the experience of in-betweenness, of being suspended between the boundaries and borders of two countries in selected texts of contemporary Dominican-American writers: Junot Díaz’s novel The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao and a short story “Monstro,” and Angie Cruz’s Soledad. It aims to analyze how the texts discuss the experience of in-betweenness through hybridity (for instance intertextuality and magical realism) with the use of tools offered by the neo-baroque esthetics. „Ani tu, ani tam”. Doświadczenie narodu bez granic we współczesnej literaturze dominikańsko-amerykańskiejAnaliza tożsamości imigrantów często skupia się na byciu pomiędzy, egzystowaniu między granicami, a także braku przynależności do żadnej z kultur. Grupa, która wydaje się uosabiać ten stan, to migranci z Republiki Dominikany w Stanach Zjednoczonych. Niniejszy artykuł podejmuje temat doświadczenia bycia pomiędzy, zawieszenia pomiędzy granicami i między dwoma krajami w wybranych tekstach współczesnych pisarzy dominikańsko-amerykańskich: powieści Krótki i niezwykły żywot Oscara Wao i opowiadania „Monstro” Junota Díaza oraz powieści Soledad Angie Cruz. Celem artykułu jest analiza doświadczenia bycia pomiędzy wyrażanego poprzez hybrydę, czemu służą narzędzia oferowane przez estetykę neobarokową, a także poprzez intertekstualność i realizm magiczny.

Texto completoResumen
Christine Garcia's The Aguero Sisters and Julia Alvarez's How the Garcia Girls Lost Their Accents are novels that revolve around the conflicts and tensions among the members of the two immigrant families, the Aguero sisters from Cuba and the Garcia sisters from the Dominican Republic, arising mainly from their need to come to terms with their ambiguous identities. This article focuses on the ways in which the Aguero and Garcia sisters through their hybrid identities overcome boundaries and exclusive categories so as to challenge homogenizing, hegemonic systems, and open vistas into new, non-essentialist modes of identity that still can be represented in their specific configurations.

Texto completoResumen
We examine the interlinked migrations between the Dominican Republic and Haiti, between the Dominican Republic and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, and, finally, migrations from these three countries to the United States. The literature tends to draw stark differences between race and racism in the United States and the nonracial societies of Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic. However, although Blackness is a contextual category, through analyzing how “Black” migrants are racialized using these three contexts, we find that there is a simultaneously global and local derogation of “Blackness” that places Black migrants at the bottom of socioeconomic hierarchies. Further, these migrants remain largely outside of conceptions of the nation, and thus Blackness is constructed as a blend of racial phenotype and national origin, whereby native “Blacks” attempt to opt out of Blackness on account of their national identity. This dynamic is particularly true in the Caribbean where Blanqueamiento, or Whitening, is made possible through a dialectical process in which a person's Whiteness, or at least his or her non-Blackness, is made possible by contrast to an “Other.” Consequently, we argue that immigration becomes a key site for national processes of racialization, the construction of racial identities, and the maintenance of and contestation over racial boundaries.

Texto completoResumen
Lors de leur présence en Colombie, entre 1938 et 1949, cinq Dominicains de la province de Lyon cherchent à réformer la province colombienne. Toutefois, il ne s’agit pas d’une nouveauté, car le besoin de la réforme est manifeste tout au long du processus plus large de sa restauration, entre 1881 et 1965. L’épisode lyonnais sert, cependant, d’observatoire à partir duquel examiner la persistance des notions de restauration et de réforme, dans les évolutions que connaît la province depuis 1881. Car si la restauration prône le rétablissement d’un état des lieux existant jusqu’avant la suppression des ordres, la réforme pointe, quant à elle, vers un attachement plus prononcé à la règle conventuelle, pour que la vie dominicaine soit fondée à nouveau sur des bases avec un fort penchant monastique. D’où la pertinence d’approcher ces notions, propres à la théologie de la vie religieuse, à l’aide des catégories ricoeuriennes d’idéologie et d’utopie, lesquelles relèvent du domaine de la philosophie de l’imagination sociale. De son côté, la méthodologie de l’histoire sociale complète les outils de travail du chercheur, en vue de mesurer la complexité du réseau d’acteurs et d’influences dans lequel s’insère la province, ainsi que de comprendre les compromis qui s’opèrent pour aboutir à la création d’un régime local de vie dominicaine. Celui-ci s’inscrit, à son tour, dans la pluralité de régimes de vie dominicaine, façonnés selon les contextes, dans une logique d’inculturation. Enfin, il sera fait état du dynamisme créatif qui rend possible cette complexité. C’est à lui que l’on peut certainement attribuer la refiguration permanente des récits qui disent l’identité narrative collective des religieux colombiensDuring their presence in Colombia, between 1938 and 1949, five Dominicans from the province of Lyon sought to reform the Colombian province. However, this was not new, since the need for reform was evident throughout the process of its restoration, between 1881 and 1965. The Lyon episode serves, in any case, as an observatory to examine the persistence of the notions of restoration and reform in the province’s developments since 1881. While restoration advocated the re-establishment of the existing situation before the suppression of the orders, reform pointed towards a more pronounced attachment to the conventual rule, so that Dominican life could be founded again with a strong monastic bent. Hence the relevance of approaching these notions, proper to the theology of religious life, with the help of Ricoeurian categories of ideology and utopia, which belong to the domain of the philosophy of the social imagination. In addition, the methodology of social history completes the working tools of the researcher, in order to measure the complexity of the network of actors and influences in which the province is inserted, as well as to understand the compromises that are made to achieve the creation of a local regime of Dominican life. This, in turn, is inscribed in the plurality of regimes of Dominican life, shaped according to the contexts, in a logic of inculturation. Finally, the creative dynamism that makes this complexity possible will be described. It is certainly to this dynamism that one can ascribe the permanent reshaping of the narratives that tell the collective narrative identity of the Colombian religious

This research was dedicated, in general terms, to establish the contours of certain identity, or, more precisely, of a long tradition of identity, that, engendered in the colonial period, characterized by a mainly negative and derogatory content of "being Haitian", that was structured and established throughout the country's history and, even today, influences in shaping the Haitians’ identities. Therefore, we look for scrutinizing the process of construction and assignment of such identities by means of the production and dissemination of an anti-Haitian discourse and ideology. For that, we carried out a discursive/ideological 'mapping' procedure, seeking, at first, to outline the contours of that Haitian identity tradition in its historiography and literature devoted to the theme, and secondly, to understand and to identify its manifestation in the media discourse produced and disseminated through the Haitian, Dominican and American newspapers, over the first ten years of the United Nations Mission for the Stabilization of Haiti (MINUSTAH) intervention, i.e., from 2004 to 2014. That way, our researches to showed, from a mapping process carried out in the nation´s historiography and literature linked to the subject, produced and reproduced in the long term - the recovery and appropriation of this tradition - their stigmas, stereotypes and practices – by the contemporary media discourse that addresses the historical, social, cultural, political or economic reality in Haiti, as well as the influence of that reality in shaping the contemporary Haitian identity.
Este trabalho de pesquisa foi dedicado, em linhas gerais, a estabelecer os contornos de dada identidade, ou, com mais acerto, de uma longa tradição de identidade, que, engendrada nos idos coloniais, caracterizada por um conteúdo predominantemente negativo e depreciativo do “ser haitiano”, estrutura-se e se estabelece ao longo da história do país, influenciando, ainda hoje, na conformação de suas identidades. Busca-se, portanto, perscrutar o processo de construção e atribuição dessas identidades por meio da produção e da disseminação de uma discursividade e de uma ideologia anti-haitianistas. Para tanto, procede-se a um ‘mapeamento’ discursivo/ideológico, procurando, por um lado, delinear os contornos dessa tradição de identidade haitiana na historiografia e na literatura dedicadas ao tema, e, por outro, perceber e identificar sua manifestação nos discursos midiáticos produzidos e disseminados por meio de jornais haitianos, dominicanos e estadunidenses, ao longo dos dez primeiros anos de intervenção da Missão das Nações Unidas para a Estabilização do Haiti (MINUSTAH), ou seja, no período de 2004 a 2014. Nossas pesquisas evidenciaram, dessa forma – a partir de um mapeamento realizado na historiografia e na literatura afeta ao tema, produzida e reproduzida na longa duração –, a retomada e a apropriação dessa tradição – de seus estigmas, estereótipos e práticas – por parte dos discursos midiáticos contemporâneos que abordam a realidade histórica, social, cultural, política ou econômica do Haiti, bem como a influência dessa na conformação das identidades haitianas contemporâneas.

Texto completoResumen
This dissertation examines the bildungsroman genre in Cuba, Puerto Rico, and the Dominican Republic. A close examination of the development of this genre demonstrates that it has ideological implications that link the young protagonists’ development with that of the nation. The authors on whom I focus—Ángela Hernández, Rita Indiana Hernández, René Marqués, Pedro Juan Soto, Magali García Ramis, Severo Sarduy, and Jesús Díaz—do not merely imitate the European model but revise, adapt, and often subvert it thematically and, in some cases, aesthetically. I argue that these bildungsromane differ, for the most part, from the European prototype due to their openly political themes, such as the establishment of the Estado Libre Asociado in Puerto Rico, the 1959 Revolution in Cuba, and, in the case of the Dominican Republic, Trujillo’s dictatorship. I claim that Dominican bildungsromane do not propose national projects or models but rather question the purported homogeneity of identity of the country as a normalized political body. On the other hand, in Cuba and Puerto Rico the genre has been used to promote absolute discourses of nationality as well as political projects that must be questioned due to their discriminatory and sometimes racist and violent nature.

Texto completoResumen
With this book, Rachel Afi Quinn makes the case for a transnational feminist cultural studies lens of analysis and an ethnographic approach to the study of race, gender, and visual culture in the Dominican Republic. This book provides a new window into contemporary life in Santo Domingo through which surrealist cultural productions reflect the social climate. Quinn theorizes the ways that the racial meaning of Dominican women’s mixed-race bodies “see/saw” in the viewing moment, as they are read visually in relation to others and informed by particular narratives of identity. Drawing on some forty interviews conducted by the author, this text centers these voices as it reveals the ways that the mixed-race bodies of Dominican women and girls signify within a racial schema tied to an economy in which they are commodified. Queer identities and fluid sexualities intersect with racial ambiguity and Dominican whiteness, Quinn argues, while incorporating public art, digital images, and Dominican film and music videos that are circulated transnationally, including performances by Rita Indiana Hernández and Michelle Rodriguez. Numerous other works by Dominican women artists and activists including print and online publications, documented live performances, photographic images, and social media discourse compose this text. Transnational political organizing is also considered here as part of a legacy of Dominican feminist activism against patriarchal oppression

The images of the destroyed Buddha statues of Bamiyan, of the ancient city of Palmyra lying in ruins, and of destroyed World Heritage sites in Timbuktu have received much attention from the international public. At the same time, these cases also reflect a new dimension in the conduct of armed hostilities today, which is increasingly aimed at destroying cultural identities or heritage. Therefore, in addition to the issue of preserving the world's cultural heritage, especially in the context of human rights protection and international humanitarian law, the protection of cultural property is seen as an increasingly important task for the United Nations and its institutions. Pieces of Art, significant written documents, memorials, and places of worship are deliberately destroyed in conflicts by armed or terrorist groups, such as the so-called Islamic State, as they represent core elements of cultural identity. The increasing number of reports on the loss of priceless cultural assets in Syria, Iraq and Mali exemplify this. Increasingly, violent non-state actors are deliberately using the destruction of cultural property as a means of warfare and even "ethnic cleansing." For the international community, this makes the protection of cultural property in armed conflicts and in the field of restoring statehood at the same time increasingly significant. The preservation of this global human memory is one of the greatest challenges of modern social, political, and legal discourses. Although the use of the destruction of cultural property to divide societies, even to erase a collective memory or destroy social structures, has long been part of warfare, this aspect has been insufficiently considered by the media public and especially in academic discourse.

This chapter provides several examples of how Dominican women articulate their own racial identities in relation to dominant narratives that intersect with gender in a patriarchal society. Ethnographic research in this chapter reveals the ways that Dominican women constantly navigate hierarchies of color and how narratives of class, as in the case of transnational Dominican celebrity Martha Heredia, frequently inform shifting racial meanings within and outside of the country. In this chapter Santo Domingo artists Yaneris Gonzalez Gomez and Michelle Ricardo each describe experiences of overlapping and sometimes disparate negotiations with anti-blackness. Dominican terms such as indio, negra, and morena that emerge in these and other conversations take on different meanings based on user and context.

By presenting a series of ethnographic examples of the ways that interviewees experience their racial identities as Dominican women, this chapter reveals how anti-blackness emerges for individuals in the discourse of such a racially mixed place. Interviews included here reveal contrasting experiences with racialization in Santo Domingo and abroad in Europe (in Germany and Spain) that inform how particular Dominican women understand their social positions based on race and color. This chapter also includes several affective moments in the ethnographic research, the ethnographer’s own experiences navigating hierarchies of color, cognitive dissonances that emerge in talking about race cross-culturally, and the ways that whiteness privileges Dominican women while remaining fluid.

Our Doctoral Program in Educational Leadership aims to develop leaders whose fundamental leadership identity is grounded in the Catholic, Dominican tradition. The values, studium, and COR questions are detailed as part of the Dominican ethos. The chapter describes a process by which the comprehensive exams were replaced with a qualitative program assessment focused on building three identities: academic writer, scholarly researcher, and an Edgewood Leader. The Edgewood Leader identity is built upon the Dominican ethos and is the focus of this study. Three models of assessment and the literature on leadership development were used to implement this assessment system. The findings related to leadership identity growth are detailed. Conclusions regarding program themes, strengths and weaknesses are described. The discussion connects the Dominican culture and heritage operating at the institution and the leadership development literature to the program assessment system currently in place.

This chapter examines how place and identity are tied to visual culture for Dominican women, including images circulated in online spaces. The author considers the influence of Facebook, the most popular social media network among Dominican youth in 2010, as a tool for crafting virtual identities, maintaining diasporic relationships over the long term, promoting community education, and organizing movements of resistance. This chapter shows how the use of visual images online is an extension of a culture of muralism and the ways that visual culture has long been used in Santo Domingo to reinforce dominant narratives of Dominican identity and is central to a legacy of student organizing at the Universidad Autónoma de Santo Domingo (UASD).

This chapter unravels both the identification and alienation between Intralatino/a children and their parents given the performance of gender and sexuality. I examine the case of Daniel, who is Dominican, Puerto Rican, and Mexican-American, but who identifies strongly with his mother and with her Dominican national identity, thus illustrating the traditional theories regarding the mother’s central role in transmitting culture, especially in mixed families. I also discuss the profound pain of two other Intralatino/as, Mario and Maria Isabel, who counteract Daniel’s narrative by distancing themselves from the problematic gendered and sexual behavior of their respective father and mother. By reading them together, the three narratives critically reflect on gender identities—both their own and those of their parents, revealing how gender and sexuality inform the disavowal of national identities among Intralatino/as.

Texto completoResumen
In this introductory chapter the author employs as metaphor the uniquely Dominican muñeca sin rostro, a highly feminized yet racially ambiguous “doll without a face” that is commonly sold as a souvenir. This chapter frames the overarching argument of the text in which racial meaning for mixed-race women in the Dominican Republic requires a “narrative eye” and functions relationally. Locating herself in relation to the women she writes about, the author explores the ways that Dominican women in Santo Domingo produce identities within and against dominant stereotypes of the Caribbean picturesque on which neoliberalism relies. The author employs methodologies of transnational feminist theory that require collaboration with those she writes about and points to sustained and expanded diasporic networks online.
