Welcome to the Monologues of Color!*
As a Visiting Assistant Professor and Scholar at the Center for Mexican American Studies and School of Communication at the University of Houston I had the wonderful opportunity of teaching an upper division undergraduate course titled “Humor and the Chican@ Artist.”
This semester students read general theories of the social and political functions of humor. We specifically read, analyzed and discussed racial, gendered, and cultural examples of Chicanx humor. Students were introduced to the works of Jennifer Alvarez Dickinson, Rosa Linda Fregoso, Carl Gutiérrez-Jones, María Herrera-Sobek, José E. Limón, Priscilla Peña Ovalle, Américo Paredes, Tey Diana Rebolledo, José Reynaldo Reyna, and Otto Santa Ana just to name a few J. They also read creative texts from Irma Mayorga, Virginia Grise, and Michelle Serros.
For the second part of the course students engaged with specific techniques of humor and applied them to their lives. The following monologues are examples of students’ interpretation of various forms of humor. They use humor in order to cope, survive, and/or resist daily interactions with racism, “authenticity” politics and identity construction.
Enjoy!
