Book Synopsis The Routledge Companion to Latine Theatre and Performance by : Noe Montez
Download or read book The Routledge Companion to Latine Theatre and Performance written by Noe Montez. This book was released on 2024-02-29. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Routledge Companion to Latine Theatre and Performance traces how manifestations of Latine self-determination in contemporary US theatre and performance practices affirm the value of Latine life in a theatrical culture that has a legacy of misrepresentation and erasure. This collection draws on fifty interdisciplinary contributions written by some of the leading Latine theatre and performance scholars and practitioners in the United States to highlight evolving and recurring strategies of world making, activism, and resistance taken by Latine culture makers to gain political agency on and off the stage. The project reveals the continued growth of Latine theatre and performance through chapters covering but not limited to playwriting, casting practices, representation, training, wrestling with anti-Blackness and anti-Indigeneity, theatre for young audiences, community empowerment, and the market forces that govern the US theatre industry. This book enters conversations in performance studies, ethnic studies, American studies, and Latina/e/o/x studies by taking up performance scholar Diana Taylor’s call to consider the ways that “embodied and performed acts generate, record, and transmit knowledge.” This collection is an essential resource for students, scholars, and theatremakers seeking to explore, understand, and advance the huge range and significance of Latine performance.

Book Synopsis Testimonio by : John Beverley
Download or read book Testimonio written by John Beverley. This book was released on 2004. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These four germinal essays by John Beverley sparked the widespread discussion and debate surrounding testimonio--the socially and politically charged Latin American narrative of witnessing--that culminated, with David Stoll's highly publicized attack on Rigoberta Menchu's celebrated testimonial text. Challenging Hardt and Negri's "Empire, Beverley's extensive new introduction examines the broader historical, political, and ethical issues that this literature raises, tracing the development of testimonio from its emergence in the Cold War era to the rise of a globalized economy and of U.S. political hegemony. Informed by postcolonial studies and the current debate over multiculturalism and identity politics, "Testimonio reaches across disciplinary boundaries to show how this particular literature at once represents and enacts new forms of agency on the part of previously repressed social subjects, as well as its potential as a new form of "alliance politics" between those subjects and artists, scientists, teachers, and intellectuals in a variety of local, national, and international contexts.

Book Synopsis Representing the Unrepresentable by : Yvonne Sabine Unnold
Download or read book Representing the Unrepresentable written by Yvonne Sabine Unnold. This book was released on 2002. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Pinochet dictatorship in Chile infringed on human rights and engaged in torture, killing, and persecution. Although strict censorship under his regime limited literary representation, testimonial works by survivors and witnesses serve as an informant of the trauma inflicted upon the Chilean people. Representing the Unrepresentable: Literature of Trauma under Pinochet in Chile presents some of these works, opening the path to a new understanding of alternative representation of history - its sociopolitical perspective and role in society today.
