| 1. Cisneros, Josue. "(Re)Making the Immigrant Body: Rhetoric, Materiality, and Social Protest in 'La Gran Marcha' of March 25, 2006" Paper presented at the annual meeting of the NCA 94th Annual Convention, TBA, San Diego, CA, Nov 20, 2008 Online <PDF>. 2009-11-24 <http://www.allacademic.com/meta/p260372_index.html>Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript
Abstract: From March-May of 2006, several million immigrants from around the country engaged in organized protests. This essay examines La Gran Marcha of March 25, 2006, the largest of these demonstrations. I argue that the protest was a material rhetoric in two senses: the protestors' bodies functioned rhetorically and their demonstrations had material effects. I argue that La Gran Marcha functioned to (re)make the immigrant body and the body of immigrants present, concrete, singular, and unruly. |
