Abstract (English)

"In The Archive and the Repertoire preeminent performance studies scholar Diana Taylor provides a new understanding of performance in the Americas. Examining performances including demonstrations by the children of the disappeared in Argentina, the work of the Peruvian theatre group Yuyachkani, televised astrological readings by Univision personality Walter Mercado, and responses to the events of September 11, Taylor elaborates the vital role of performance in making political claims, transmitting traumatic memory, and forging cultural identity." -- p. [4] of cover.
