Esta es la publicación de la tesis de doctorado defendida ante la Facultad de Filosofía y Letras de la Universidad de Buenos Aires en 2007. Esta tesis busca profundizar el conocimiento de un área del teatro argentino, el teatro nativista, que ha permanecido vigente a lo largo de un extenso período. Su presencia, productividad y evolución constituyeron un aspecto fundamental de nuestro teatro desde su surgimiento en 1896 hasta la década del cincuenta, especialmente durante el primer y segundo gobierno peronista. Un segundo aporte de esta tesis es que abordamos la búsqueda de la presencia del procedimiento del costumbrismo y el análisis de su significación en diferentes poéticas. Este procedimiento ha estado presente en nuestro teatro desde sus orígenes hasta la actualidad, signando y caracterizando al teatro argentino, que a lo largo de su historia siempre ha tenido un matiz costumbrista.

Swashbuckling tales of valiant gauchos roaming Argentina and Uruguay were nineteenth-century Latin American bestsellers. But when the stories jumped from the page to the circus stage and beyond, their cultural, economic, and political influence revolutionized popular culture and daily life. In this expansive and engaging narrative William Acree guides readers through the deep history of popular entertainment before turning to circus culture and rural dramas that celebrated the countryside on stage. More than just riveting social experiences, these dramas were among the region’s most dominant attractions on the eve of the twentieth century. Staging Frontiers further explores the profound impacts this phenomenon had on the ways people interacted and on the broader culture that influenced the region. This new, modern popular culture revolved around entertainment and related products, yet it was also central to making sense of social class, ethnic identity, and race as demographic and economic transformations were reshaping everyday experiences in this rapidly urbanizing region.
