SUMMARY:The Bones of Tradition: The Many Lives of the Day of the Dead
DESCRIPTION:In 2015\, a James Bond movie introduced millions to a spectacularly staged Día de los Muertos parade in Mexico City. Two years later\, the Pixar movie Coco depicted some of the rituals associated with the Day of the Dead. But did you know that the Mexico City parade didn’t exist until the filmmakers created it? Or that Disney\, in anticipation of Coco’s release\, filed an application to trademark the phrase “Día de los Muertos” to sell merchandise? What does the actual observance look like\, and has it always looked that way? Through a series of images\, this lecture travels across Mexico to uncover the many regional traditions behind one of the world’s most recognizable commemorations. Peel back the Hollywood imagery to explore a family of living practices shaped by Indigenous ritual\, Spanish Catholicism\, and sometimes\, even the movies. \nThis lecture coincides with the FAC annual community event Día de Muertos\, on November 1 and 2. \nThemed Cocktail: Muertos Margarita\nLecturer: José Antonio Arellano\, Associate Professor of English\, United States Air Force Academy\nTickets: $26 ($20 for FAC Members)\, includes your first drink \nGet TICKETS \nAbout Libation Lectures\nLibation Lectures is lecture series offering an educational twist to the traditional happy hour.
