LAII Seminar: "El feliz ingenio neomexicano" -

 

Felipe M. Chacón and Poesía y prosa

Edited, Translated, & Introduced by Anna M. Nogar and Gabriel Meléndez

El feliz ingenio neomexicano (UNM Press 2021) is a bilingual recovery edition of Obras de Felipe Maximiliano Chacón, el Cantor Neomexicano: Poesía y prosa, the first collection of poetry published by a Mexican American author. Journalist and author Felipe M. Chacón, part of a distinguished and active family of nuevomexicano authors, published the book in Albuquerque in 1924, on the presses of the bilingual newspaper La bandera americana. El feliz ingenio neomexicano (that “inspired New Mexican wit”) reestablishes Chacón’s work and his reputation by making the text widely available to readers for the first time in nearly a century. In this talk, Dr. Anna M. Nogar and Dr. A Gabriel Meléndez discuss the enduring legacy of Felipe M. Chacón's deeply bilingual writing, created and shared during New Mexico's fraught 19th and early 20th centuries.

Anna M. Nogar is Professor in the University of New Mexico’s Department of Spanish and Portuguese. She is the author, editor, and coeditor of several books, including Quill and Cross in the Borderlands: Sor María de Ágreda and the Lady in Blue, 1628 to the Present; A History of Mexican Literature; and Sisters in Blue: Sor María de Ágreda Comes to New Mexico / Hermanas de Azul: Sor María de Ágreda viene a Nuevo México (UNM Press).

A. Gabriel Meléndez is a Distinguished University Professor and the former director of the Center for Regional Studies at the University of New Mexico. Meléndez is the author, editor, and co-editor of numerous books, including The Book of Archives and Other Stories from the Mora Valley, New Mexico; Santa Fe Nativa: A Collection of Nuevomexicano Writing (UNM Press); and The Writings of Eusebio Chacón (UNM Press).

Songs & Stories from the Albuquerque Public Schools Native American Performing Arts Program -

AMP is pleased to partner with Instituto Cervantes and the National Hispanic Cultural Center to present the second edition of the Oralidad Festival. Oralidad is born with two essential purposes: to promote the oral tradition of storytelling and to establish a collaboration between artists from New Mexico, Spain, Latin America and the rest of the United States to create new works together and contribute to the improvement of storytelling. The oral tradition of storytelling is a powerful language throughout the world, and is deeply rooted in Spanish culture. These oral traditions have permeated Latin American and Hispanic culture, from flamenco palos to the Vaqueiros de Alzada and the tradition of the juglares (minstrelsy), as well as having a broad impact on Latin American literature. New Mexico is an especially important place for storytellers, due to the mix of Hispanic and indigenous cultures, specifically the oral traditions and histories of the Pueblos. This activity will incorporate music, dance and storytelling into a program that will demonstrate Native American pride and culture. It is an intertribal presentation and will be performed by Albuquerque Public School students. The program will feature two Native American songs, two Winter Stories which include acting, and one Native American dance which allows for audience participation. This activity will also allow students to develop communication and life skills. The Native American Studies program at Albuquerque High School is taught by John Williams. John is a member of the Dakota Sioux tribe and has worked in APS for over 25 years. He teaches Navajo Government, Native American Studies and Native American Leadership. His program sponsors annual events such as Winter Stories, Native American Fashion Shows, and Music Appreciation.
