Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.

However, as Yvonne travels into a movie theater on her own, the flashing lights take on a melancholic tone. This street may seem to a celebration of the opulence of American consumerism, but it also acts as backdrop to experience the disappointment, alienation and loneliness of migration. The scenes from Main Street, ruled by masculine order, also show alienation, though manifested in a different way.

While Yvonne is dropped off at the Roxie on South Broadway, to watch a movie and window shop, her husband and his male friends venture to Ritz Cafe, a bar on Main Street.plain2015-06-04T01:16:44-07:00Veronica Paredesf39d262eb7e9d13906fe972f3e5494dbae1896bc
