{"product_id":"negotiating-performance-diana-taylor-9780822315049","title":"Negotiating Performance: Gender, Sexuality, and Theatricality in Latin\/O America","description":"In \u003ci\u003eNegotiating Performance\u003c\/i\u003e, major scholars and practitioners of the theatrical arts consider the diversity of Latin American and U. S. Latino performance: indigenous theater, performance art, living installations, carnival, public demonstrations, and gender acts such as transvestism. By redefining performance to include such events as Mayan and AIDS theater, the Mothers of the Plaza de Mayo, and Argentinean drag culture, this energetic volume discusses the dynamics of Latino\/a identity politics and the sometimes discordant intersection of gender, sexuality, and nationalisms.\u003cbr\u003eThe Latin\/o America examined here stretches from Patagonia to New York City, bridging the political and geographical divides between U.S. Latinos and Latin Americans. Moving from Nuyorican \u003ci\u003ecasitas\u003c\/i\u003e in the South Bronx, to subversive street performances in Buenos Aires, to border art from San Diego\/Tijuana, this volume negotiates the borders that bring Americans together and keep them apart, while at the same time debating the use of the contested term \"Latino\/a.\" In the emerging dialogue, contributors reenvision an inclusive \"América,\" a Latin\/o America that does not pit nationality against ethnicity--in other words, a shared space, and a home to all Latin\/o Americans.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNegotiating Performance\u003c\/i\u003e opens up the field of Latin\/o American theater and performance criticism by looking at performance work by Mayans, women, gays, lesbians, and other marginalized groups. In so doing, this volume will interest a wide audience of students and scholars in feminist and gender studies, theater and performance studies, and Latin American and Latino cultural studies.\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eContributors\u003c\/i\u003e.
