Analisis Cultural
Caso: Película, Mi Gran casamiento Griego.

A continuación se analiza la película desde un punto de vista cultural, tomando en cuenta las diferencias culturales de los protagonistas.

La escena de la que me serviré para el análisis, es cuando ellos recién se están conociendo, cuando están hablando en el puente, y él le pregunta a ella cosas de su familia, en un principio ella no se siente con la confianza de hablar de su familia, porque sabe en el fondo que ellos eran diferentes en muchos aspectos a la cultura Estadounidense. Sabía que muchas personas no comprendían muchas actitudes de su familia, aunque ella tenia ganas de integrarse a la cultura estadounidense, no era fácil, primeramente por la presión familiar, y también por los inconvenientes de la cultura local, que no permitía una fácil integración para alguien que no es de esa cultura.
Nombraré las diferencias sustanciales que existen entre los protagonistas enfocándome en la protagonista, entendiéndose que el hombre es diferente en ese punto.

Tiempo policrónico: es lo que caracteriza a la familia griega, ya que varias relaciones interpersonales suceden a la vez.

Contextualización alta: En una eventual negociación necesitan la socialización de las partes.

Colectivismo: La familia griega se ve como bien “aclanada” ya que siempre están juntos discutiendo cosas familiares.

Distancia del Poder Alta: Son dados a aceptar esquemas jerárquicos.

Alta intolerancia a la incertidumbre: Aplican normas y leyes para evitar sentir incertidumbre.

Extremo masculino: Es una sociedad donde el hombre tiene un claro papel definido, y es respetado por la familia.
Además se ve que hay algo de etnocentrismo, ya que hacen todo, como si estuvieran en Grecia.

Tengo que decir que ambos protagonistas no se hallan conforme con lo que sus respectivas culturas les inculcan, es decir, tienen varios reparos, para su propia cultura, por ejemplo ella, no está de acuerdo en que los griegos se casen con griegos

    In Julia Alvarez’s short story, ”Nombres”, and in the visual, “Graduation Day”, both depict the common theme that people should embrace their culture and heritage. In “Nombres”, the theme can be seen when Julia's mother states, “You know what (Julia’s) friend Shakespeare said, ‘A rose by any other name would smell as sweet’,” (Alvarez Pg. 1). This shows that Julia’s mother doesn’t want her to be ashamed of where she comes from, and that she should embrace her name. This theme is also evident in the visual,” Graduation Day”. The fact that the loving daughter, who just graduated from school, is hugging her hard-working father, shows that she is grateful for him, and that she is proud of him. Also in “Graduation Day”, the daughters decorated graduation…

    Though the story is subjective, it also questions the mind of the reader in terms of critical thought. Diaz highlights how an person is reduced to just social class and race and by doing so asking a question relating to the authority or accuracy of the decrease of social beings. Though the story is subjective, it also questions the mind of the reader in terms of critical thought. The story fails on the moral side as it gives inferences on physical emotions and sexual relations. An curious reader should consider the ways a person manipulates their appearances within all the contexts that the writer discusses. A reader should also review own beliefs on expectations, stereotypes, biases and social and racial divisions in the determination of…

    The theme of identity is presented in Ruldolfo Anaya’s Alburquerque. Chapter 5 presents the theme of identity in great detail as we explore the characters' cultural and personal identities.

    Killing / Fiesta, 1980

    • 1575 Words
    • 7 Pages

    Today, family is one of the most sacred values we share in the individualist society we live in. Every family is different and has different rules and values; but in most of them, fathers are supposed to be leaders of the family, and role models for their children. They are also considerate like the one who transmits the traditions of their ancestors in order to carry them on. “Fiesta, 1980” is a short story written by Junot Dìaz taken from his short story collection, Drown, (1996). “Killings” is also a short story taken from, Finding a Girl in America (1980), written by Andre Dubus. Both of these stories are dealing with the family’s subject and provide us different perspectives of it. In Dìaz’s story we can see the relationship among a foreigner family, while in Andre Dubus’s story we see an American average family. In both stories, fathers play an important role; they figure prominently and have a considerable impact on their family but on the story also. The father in Dubus’s story is more family oriented that the one in Dìaz’; moreover the family is more closely–knit in Dubus’s story than in Dìaz’s story. The difference between the behaviors of the two fathers can be explained by their cultural backgrounds, which are not the same. These stories also provide us another perspective of the father’s role in the family, through their strength and their weakness without compromise.…

    In the novel, The House of the Spirits by Isabel Allende, the author illustrates the life of people in Chile in the 20th century through the narrators Esteban Trueba and Alba Trueba. In this novel, the author’s purpose is to make the reader be conscious of how divergent the perspectives of the male characters are from one another. By stylistically choosing to use the literary analysis of characterization to characterize Jaime Trueba as selflessly caring, Allende creates a feeling of fondness and admiration in the reader towards him, and through her use of visual imagery, and contrast between Jaime’s view of charity and his father, Esteban Trueba’s view of charity.…

    For example, Rodriguez reveals the restrictions placed on his life when he illuminates, “Nervously. I’d arrive at the grocery store to hear there the sounds of the gringo, reminding me that in this so-big world I was a foreigner (424).” Language can impact the overall identity of a person if the constraints limit the everyday actions. A person cannot achieve the intended goals, be there best overall self, if one cannot even express their self properly. The result from not being able to express oneself as wanted may affect ones friends in life, or acquaintances. Also, language can connect the family portion of one’s self-identity.

    I chose to look at the Hispanic culture. Hispanic families put the utmost importance on family. This means they support each other in any way they can financially, emotionally, and socially. Hispanic families tend to be very close and care more about the whole then the individual; older siblings will often take care of the younger ones. In Hispanic families, the males tend to take on the role of authority with the eldest in charge. Women in Hispanic families gravitate towards being the caretaker's; wife and mother. However, that job is changing into a working mother roll. In these families’ parents are inclined take a lot of pride in their kids.
