    Dolores del Río: Beauty, Celebrity, and Power in Two Cultures

    All Welcome

    Dolores del Río’s dazzling beauty in her late teens and early 20s led to her discovery and enormous success in U.S. films, beginning in 1925 and lasting into the early 1940s. She became an instant celebrity, and careful handling of publicity positioned her as white rather than indigenous. Her popularity and the power that resulted from it helped legitimate ideas of Mexicans as acceptable romantic partners for Anglo stars, as she regularly appeared in such roles, despite the fact that the era was replete with concerns about miscegenation between whites and indigenous and African-America peoples, whatever their ethnicity. Indeed, she was billed as the female Valentino, the dark female romantic counterpart to that early 1920s male film phenomenon. On her return to Mexico in the early 1940s, she found that her renown in the United States led to great pride in her achievements among Mexicans and gave her a position of power to participate in, to influence artistically, and to gather around her the best talents for the Mexican Golden Age of film. Different notions of beauty and celebrity and power in Mexico, as opposed to the United States, made it possible for her to establish herself as one of Mexican cinema's greatest stars.

    Parish Research Symposium Warwick University

    Parish Research Symposium
    When: Fri, 25 May - Sun, 27 May '12
    Where: Warwick University
    Notes:

    The ‘Warwick Network for Parish Research’ has been running an annual symposium highlighting new work on late medieval and early modern parishes since 2003. While mainly an academic initiative, the events have also attracted interest from a wider public. Further information on all previous meetings can be found on this website.

    In 2012 we will celebrate the 10th anniversary meeting and would like to mark it by involving a wide range of groups and societies interested in parish history. Under the theme of ‘Parish Studies Today’, the overall aim is to showcase the large variety of work currently pursued in the field. Ideally, this could help to forge closer ties between researchers and facilitate the exchange of ideas.
