José Izaguirre on Cesar Chavez and the Poetics of Deferral
General Summary: Dr. José Izaguirre, a professor in the Department of Rhetoric and Writing at the University of Texas at Austin, walks through his analysis of César Chávez’s rhetoric in reigniting the Chican@ movement through the United Farm Workers. The context of the movement is reflected upon and compared to today’s world. There is also thoughtful discussion on social justice and how people perceive it. Dr. Izaguirre also lets students know about some of his own inspirations for pursuing this path and studying Chávez specifically.
Detailed Summary: Introduction and discussion of Izaguirre’s background and how he came to study nonviolent communication (00.00-07.25); Discussion of Chican@ social movements and how they portrayed their message (07.25-10.00); How the use of deferral can be used today (10.00-11.55); Study of criticism which Izaguirre relates into his work through parallelisms and the concept of machismo (11.55-14.45); Izaguirre discusses how identity tied into Chávez’s speech and how he brought different audiences together (14.45-18.55); Izaguirre goes into how people perceive things differently and how this has opened him up into his new work about a scientist who studied cybernetics and nationalism (18.55-22.30); Comparison to other works of rhetoric, specifically Josué David Cisneros's article about immigration which Izaguirre puts into context with Chávez’s work (22.30-26.10); Closing remarks and brief remarks about Illinois (26.10-29.54).
