By introducing the theory of hip(g)nosis and the sentience corpo-mulata, these theoretical models demonstrate how a body racialized as mulata choreographs identity through gestures, bodily articulations, and socio-historically inscribed movement repertoires associated with this particular corporeality. The development of these terms intends to show the complexities that bodies add to history, as well as their impact on cultural production and notions of territoriality, nationalism and citizenship. These terms also highlight the pleasure, sensuality and affect involved in identity construction. Finally, by providing examples of these theories through a close reading of Nin\u00f3n Sevilla&#8217;s performances of the title character in the film <em>Mulata<\/em>, the essay provides a way to rethink the mulata as something other than \u201ctragic.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read the entire article here in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.havanabarbie.com\/scholarship\/%C2%BFy-ahora-que-vas-a-hacer-mulata\/\" target=\"_blank\">HTML<\/a> or <a href=\"http:\/\/www.havanabarbie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/Blanco-WP.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">PDF<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201c\u00bfY ahora qu\u00e9 vas a hacer, mulata?\u201d: Hip choreographies in the Mexican cabaretera film Mulata (1954) Women and Performance: a journal of feminist theory Volume 18, Issue 3, November 2008 Special Issue: Sensualidades: Sounds and Movement in Latina\/o Culture pages 215-233 DOI: 10.1080\/07407700802495951 Melissa Blanco Borelli, Lecturer of Dance Studies University of Surrey This essay [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[12,21,1196,8,25],"tags":[10237,10236,10238,10245,10244,10243],"class_list":["post-22048","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-articles","category-latincarib","category-literary-criticism","category-media-archive","category-women","tag-melissa-b-borelli","tag-melissa-blanco-borelli","tag-melissa-borelli","tag-ninon-sevilla","tag-women-and-performance","tag-women-and-performance-a-journal-of-feminist-theory"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22048","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=22048"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22048\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=22048"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=22048"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=22048"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
