This book is a compendium of resources largely by and for artists and scholars interested in engaging in conversations of justice, diversity, and historiography in the fields of theatre and performance studies. For these students, and for the future instructors in our field who will use this book, we hold a tripartite hope: to expand, to enable, and to provide access. In its whole, we intend for this book to provoke its readers to question the narratives of history that they’ve received (and that they may promulgate) in their artistic and scholarly work. We aim to question methods and ethics of reading present in the western mode of studying drama and performance history. The contributions...
Publicado pela Rede de Estudos de Artes Cênicas Latinoamericanas (REAL), ao livro reúne diferentes ensaios acadêmicos que refletem sobre América Latina e suas práticas cênicas desde nossa experiência situada; ao mesmo tempo instiga o olhar do leitor com a intenção de revelar as realidades sociopolíticas, históricas e culturais de maneira dialética, resistindo ao impulso erosivo do neoliberalismo e ao imperialismo de um discurso acadêmico europeizante. Como ato de amizade, esse livro também entrelaça os pensamentos dessa rede de estudos, criando vínculos afetivos entre vários países da América Latina através de um conjunto de pesquisadores que celebram os saberes dos territórios que habitam e que a cena visa vislumbrar. _____________________________________________________________________________________ Livro publicado com recursos da FAPESC — Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa e Inovação do Estado de Santa Catarina e da Universidade do Estado de Santa Catarina (Centro de Artes).
Após publicar, em 2017, o livro Imagens Políticas: reflexões práticas e práticas reflexivas, o grupo de pesquisa Imagens Políticas: Poéticas Políticas do Teatro Contemporâneo apresenta aqui seu segundo livro com artigos de seus integrantes. Para sua escrita, o grupo discutiu previamente, em encontros semanais, as teses Sobre o Conceito de História de Walter Benjamin. Nesses encontros, nos debruçamos sobre o cruzamento de fenômenos sociais e artísticos importantes para as investigações de cada um, com a intenção de estabelecermos reflexões capazes de desvendar a face crítica do texto benjaminiano para pesquisas nas artes da cena, realçando distâncias históricas e transformações de contexto. Os textos aqui compiladas são frutos dessas investigações cruzadas que se valem das teses de Benjamin para a reflexão sobre o corpus artístico, assim como também dos fenômenos analisados para testar o alcance dessas teses nos campos tanto da teatralidade cotidiana quanto das artes da cena.

Throughout the 1960s until her untimely death in 1974, Afro-Cuban filmmaker Sara Gómez engaged directly and courageously with the social, political, economic, and cultural transformations promised by the Cuban Revolution. Gómez directed numerous documentary films in 10 prolific years. She also made De cierta manera (One way or another), her only feature-length film. Her films navigate complex experiences of social class, race, and gender by reframing revolutionary citizenship, cultural memory, and political value. Not only have her inventive strategies become foundational to new Cuban cinema and feminist film culture, but they also continue to inspire media artists today who deal with issu...
Drawing from early modern plays and treatises on the precepts and practices of the acting process, this study shows how the early modern Spanish actress subscribed to various somatic practices in an effort to prepare for a role. It provides today's reader not only another perspective to the performance aspect of early modern plays, but also a better understanding of how the woman of the theater succeeded in a highly scrutinized profession. Elizabeth Marie Cruz Petersen examines examples of comedias from playwrights such as Lope de Vega, Luis Vélez de Guevara, Tirso de Molina, and Ana Caro, historical documents, and treatises to demonstrate that the women of the stage transformed their bodie...
The three volumes of Language typology and syntactic description offer a unique survey of syntactic and morphological structure in the languages of the world. Topics covered include parts of speech; passives; complementation; relative clauses; adverbial clauses; inflectional morphology; tense; aspect and mood; and deixis. The major ways these notions are realized u=in the languages of the world are explored, and the contributors provide brief sketches of relevant aspects of representative languages. Each volume is written in an accessible style with new concepts explained and exemplified as they are introduced. Although each volume can be read independently, together they provide a major work of reference that will serve as a manual for field workers and anyone interested in cross-linguistic generalizations.
The study of native language influence in Second Language Acquisition has undergone significant changes over the past few decades. This book, which includes 12 chapters by distinguished researchers in the field of second language acquisition, traces the conceptual history of language transfer from its early role within a Contrastive Analysis framework to its current position within Universal Grammar. The introduction presents a continuum of thought starting from the late 70s, a time in which major rethinking in the field regarding the concept of language transfer was beginning to take place, and continuing through the present day in which language transfer is integrated within current concepts and theoretical models. The afterword unites the issues discussed and allows the reader to place these issues in the context of future research. For the present book, the 1983 edition has been thoroughly revised, and some papers have been replaced and added.
