Although he's got a great job working for a Swedish multinational company that allows him to travel a lot for business, he had never set foot in North America...until now. In this podcast he talks about what he's looking forward to seeing on our trip to the U.S. When I ask David about stereotypes that exist among the Spanish regarding the United States, he has no shortage of (bad) things to say about mi pueblo. :( Fortunately, he knows how to verbally backpedal and so he redeems himself by the end. :P Video of Times Square, New York City.

Maya says her work \"Acciones Plasticas\" is a \"commentary of the objectification and exoticization of otherness that I have personally experienced. I reclaim ownership of myself; I transform my body as well as my \"self\" into an object used within the performed ritual, which is then documented through analog and digital photo, video and collage.\" You can read more about Maya on her website (mayaescobar.com) and see the entire series of videos on YouTube (www.youtube.com/user/mayaescobar). maya,escobar,acciones,plasticas,performance,art,stereotypes,hispanic,bilingual,spanish,espantilde;ol voicesenespanol.com no No http://spanish-podcast.com/2008/04/25/maya-escobar-acciones-plasticas/ http://spanish-podcast.com/2008/04/25/maya-escobar-acciones-plasticas/#comments Fri, 25 Apr 2008 09:43:05 +0000 eleena http://spanish-podcast.com/2008/04/25/meet-maya-escobar/ http://spanish-podcast.com/2008/04/25/maya-escobar-acciones-plasticas/feed/ 00:01:01 Maya Escobar is a young American artist who has found a provocative way to examine stereotypes, particularly stereotypes related to Latina and Jewish women. Maya's ... Maya Escobar is a young American artist who has found a provocative way to examine stereotypes, particularly stereotypes related to Latina and Jewish women. Maya's dad is Guatemalan and her mom is Jewish and Maya grew up in the Midwest of the United States. Combine all that together and you've got an artist with a one-of-a-kind perspective on identity and ethnicity in the 21st-century. Maya tackles this subject of ethnic stereotypes head-on in a piece of performance art called "Acciones Plaacute;sticas." She writes: "I created a multi-faceted "doll", assuming the role of designer and distributor myself, and even posing as the actual doll itself. My product is "marketed" in five distinct styles: The Orthodox Jewcopy;, The JAPcopy; [Jewish American Princess], The Chachcopy;, The Sexy Latinacopy;, and The Mayancopy;. Each doll is a satirical characterization of the many roles that have been projected upon me, and into which I have, to some extent, inevitably fallen. As "ethnic objects," the dolls are removed from their original context. Much like actual commercial dolls or other artifacts of popular culture, the viewer observes them without consideration of relevant socio-economic issues, heritage or cultural practices." You can read more about Acciones Plaacute;sticas over at Maya's web site and find the full series of the videos over on YouTube. But here's a sample featuring The Sexy Latinacopy; "doll."

Today we are talking about Spanish consonant sounds that don\'t come naturally to English speakers. Martin Ventola, our Spanish instructor from Buenos Aires, has written a detailed post on his blog (spanishpronunciation101.com) about the subject but here is a summary: There are five Spanish consonant sounds that are problematic for English-speakers. They are: The b sound in words like voy, vamos, habia. The d sound in words like hada, ciudad. The g sound in ego, agua, agujero. The j sound, like in ajo, jota, reloj. The aspirated s sound in mosca, espacio. In this podcast you\'ll hear me refer to consonants but I really meant the consonant sounds.
