Experiences of Latinidad and First-Generation College Students in Jane the Virgin: Using Auto-Historia Teoria and Finding Coyolxauhqui
Abstract
This thesis is an examination of the importance of Latinx and first-generation college student representation in media. By using autohistoria-teoría and content analysis, I aim to find the ways in which the show, Jane the Virgin, influences my experiences of Latinidad as well as how it represents the first-generation college experience and how those relate to my own. I use Gloria Anzaldúa’s model to study identity dealing with nepantla, arrebatamientos, and the Coyolxauhqui process to discuss my own identity.
