Zásady pro vypracování

Tato disertační práce navazuje na výzkum a literární analýzu provedené v mé diplomové práci „Rodina ideální a reálná: Změna obrazu rodiny ve vybraných dílech mexicko-amerických autorů“, a rozšiřuje její záběr. Coby interdisciplinární práce zkoumá spojení mezi historií, sociologií a literaturou.
Rodina je v mexicko-americké komunitě jednou z hlavních hodnot a začala být jako taková oficiálně oslavována během chicanského hnutí v šedesátých a sedmdesátých letech. Už v té době však byla některými lidmi vnímána nejen jako jako milující a laskavá, ale jako přísná a rigidní. Tato dichotomie je reflektována také v literatuře.
Po úvodu, který představuje multikulturalism z pohledu filozofů Charlese Taylora a Willa Kymlicky, přecházím k analýze mexicko-americké rodiny a zabývám se několika statistikami, které popisují a analyzují pozici mexicko-americké menšiny v americké společnosti a také mexicko-americkou rodinu. Zaměřuji se především na zakořeněné stereotypy, které výzkumné studie na konkrétní témata buď dokládají nebo vyvracejí.
Literární část práce analyzuje tři segmenty mexicko-americké literatury: literaturu chicanských autorek, autobiografické příběhy a dětskou literaturu, a hodnotí zobrazení mexicko-americké rodiny ve vybraných literárních dílech. Kapitola o chicanských autorkách hodnotí postavení rodiny ve sbírkách povídek Sandry Cisneros a v románech Any Castillo. Zatímco první z nich obviňuje rodinu z omezování žen v jejich rozhodnutích a z jejich zneužívání, druhá klade důraz na sílu, kterou mají ženy při vytváření milující rodiny. V kapitole o autobiografiích mexicko-amerických autorů se zabývám knihami Normy Eliy Cantú a Francisca Jiméneze, které popisují dětství v mexicko-americké rodiny. Pohled obou autorů na rodinu je pozitivní, i když jejich práce také reflektují rozdíly v jejich sociálním postavení a také odlišný pohled ženy a muže. V kapitole o dětské literatuře pak analyzuji větší soubor knih a hodnotím vývoj ve zobrazování mexicko-americké rodiny v literatuře pro děti od šedesátých let do současnosti. Tato práce tak popisuje různé způsoby vnímání a zobrazování mexicko-americké rodiny v literatuře a analyzuje důvody pro tyto odlišnosti z historického a sociologického hlediska.
